When You're Not Quite Three.....

 When you're not quite three.....

.....and you have a brand new baby sister

whom you adore.....

....you don't understand why you are not allowed

to squeeze he living daylights out of her, or.....

.....or shove one of those ear exam thingies

into her ears!

When you're not quite three only

Daddy can push you high enough

to nearly touch the sky.

 When you're not quite three

it seems like a good idea to pile all your

toys on top of you.....

or gather the family outside on the porch

to have a party

as thunder and lightning

scared the living daylights out of your Grandma!

When you're not quite three

it is only natural to walk into Georgian Bay

to make sure 

throwing stones is even more fun.

When you're not quite three

you are invincible

and think nothing of working out how to

climb a slide made for much bigger people and.....

 .....swoosh down that slide, and

do it over and over again.

When you're not quite three

you join a soccer team.

Even younger than when your Daddy joined

way back in the day.

And you learn to listen to your coach

especially when he tells everyone to sit on their ball.

When you're not quite three

sliding down onto your Mommy seems like a good idea

and

life is just grand.
