Developmental Stages

The child smacks her lips and blueberries
The latter of which spiral on the floor
Because she is so young her movement carries
So much excitement. She's demanding more
And I obey, because this time is fleeting:
Soon she will learn the ever present no
And will apply it to the foods she's eating
Even the ones that now are good to go.
With her delight I too am suckered in
And as she yells and flaps her arms I shout
Together we produce a frightful din
And during dinner fling ourselves about.
It pleases her to share her time with me
And I will seize the opportunity.
