Oh to be two, and ode to two

SPLASH
Chocolate milk pours...
You watch in wonder as it seeps
Deep into the couch cushions

Giggle
With crayon in fist
You race across the sliding  glass door
The TV screen
The computer screen
The walls
My budding artist
CRASH!
A bowl breaks as you cry for breakfast
A light-bulb will never shine again
As you pummel it with a rolling pin

Thump
Books belong on the bookshelf?
Nope, the floor
Clothes belong in their drawer?
No, also the floor
Water belongs in the bathtub?
No brainer. The floor.
It's so easy to be tidy when you're two

"Iee uv ooo"
The best sound of all
In that sweet baby voice of yours
that will only last for a moment


I love you, two.
