Toddlers Storm The Capitol

Toddlers Storm The Capitol 
*
Sitting on the beach
I watch and listen
To the ocean waves
Caress the shore
*
The Beauty of Nature
Keeps me steadfast in my
Fervent Prayer for Redemption

I beseech You 
To touch the
Hearts and Souls

Where greed will destroy
All we treasure
*
Let the toddlers of our world

Endowed with the

Why oh, why must toddlers eat chalk?
Insects,  animals, toddlers chance, what?

The Day the Toddlers Danced

On Wednesday last week the moon and the sun in a sunshiny space,
Decided to switch places. The moon would stay in the sun’s usual place
Sun would go on vacation, around the world, instead.
People got up, looked at the moon and went promptly back to bed.

No one went to work, no cars were on the road,

their bright birthday sundresses

Sign Language For Toddlers Please

Sign language, a terrific way to give a voice to the little ones who have not yet mastered words.
When my eleven-month- old granddaughter learned “drink” and “hungry” and “tired” at her day care center I was amazed and that was eleven years ago. I was partly amazed that out of the millions of caring adults,

Crazed toddler bellies.
Tickle Monster strikes; giggles,
wiggles, smiles abound.
