Little Leo

Little Leo is such a boy
a digger is his favourite toy.

He likes to jump on his trampoline. 
To the cat he can be a little mean.

Tractor was one of his first words
even though that sounds absurd.

Always with Nana he will risk it
repeatedly asking for a biscuit.

Papa and he are so close after
Mama and Dada he loves him most.

Bedtime can be a battleground 
squirming and squealing he is found.

Thanks to Leo who is far from tame
our lives will never be the same.

Little Leo will soon be two. Still as soon as he sees me his first word is biscuit. We have good laughs together when I toddles sit two afternoons a week.

Having my own version of “Little Leo,” (although now 9 years old!), I know exactly how you feel, Jean! Enjoy every minute…

Hi Ilene. Nice to see you again. We have been blessed that our eldest girl came home to roost.
