Mama's Surprise

My mama's belly sticks out far! I cannot see a passing car when walking with her on the street. I wonder what she had to eat? I think she has a lot of gas, for when we lay on the soft grass her tummy moves this way and that most every time I touch or pat. And mama wears shirts like a tent when we are home or where we went, because her buttons sometimes pop when we run fast or skip and hop. My mama said, today I'm three and has a secret to tell me! She put my hand on her big bump and soon I felt a tiny lump. Said big surprise is very near, a brand new baby for you dear! Its tiny foot was touching me and soon, big sister I would be! I ran and jumped on big my bed then grabbed my Teddy, by his head, and on my baby laid it there - brought Teddy close for us to share! Sandra M.
