Stop Asking How my Baby Sleeps
it's the least interesting thing about her.
Ask me how this week
all her favorite things start with b:
blue, book, baby, bottle, ball,
boys named Dada.
Or ask me about the things that make her giggle:
the wind
Cheerios
tumbling block towers
her kitty cat
the list goes on and on.
Ask me about who she is:
curious and adventurous,
sweet and so silly
bringing joy to everyone she meets.
How she sleeps makes her a baby,
everything else makes her uniquely mine.
