Baby is enthusiastically
Embracing toilet training.
I have taken her out to the bathroom
Twenty times this morn,
But she still managed to miss the moment -
There's a puddle on the floor.
There she stands, looking down,
Trembly legs,
Growing frown,
Realisation sinks in...
I see the heartbreak begin to crash over her in waves,
And rush to pick her up,
To reassure her and console her
For the thousandth time.
The heartbreak recedes,
The smile comes out from behind the clouds,
Phew...I got there in time!
