Counting Slide
A great big slide I see.
4, 5, 6;
I do my climbing tricks.
7, 8, 9;
Still up and up I climb.
Then comes 10;
I slide back down again.
Thank you to auntnanny for the photographs. Poem by Donnell Allan.

Shoulders to Ride
Riding on grandpa's shoulders
Originally uploaded by theforster4
I went to a park with my grandpa last week.
We walked there--a long, long way.
Grandpa spoke with me kindly as we went along,
And I thought of the place where I'd play,
I'd play, I'd play, I'd play,
And I thought of the place where I'd play.
Then we saw it! But first I got water to drink,
Grandpa helped, for the fountain was high.
Off alone then I went to explore all the toys,
As he watched from a place close by,
Close by, close by, close by,
As he watched from a place close by.
I ran and I climbed and I ran, then, some more;
Played and played on the swings and the slide.
But the best part with Grandpa was walking back home,
For he gave me his shoulders to ride,
To ride, to ride, to ride.
Grandpa gave me his shoulders to ride.

Baa BAA
a friendly goat and a shy sheep
Originally uploaded by jonmclean
"Baa," said the sheep,
Then "Baa," said the goat.
"Baa BAA," said the one, then the other.
Now wouldn't you think they would be best of friends
When they sound so much like each other?

Morning Song
Singing in the morning
Originally uploaded by tsuntsun3
The sun comes up as day begins;
It shines upon my bed.
And as I wake a happy din
Of birdsong fills my head.
"Chir-ee!" "Chir-ee!" Bright music fills
The stillness of the morn.
"Wake up!" "Wake up!" The message trills,
"A brand new day is born!"

Making Phone Calls
Niece & My Nokia 6230i (by Nikon D70)
Originally uploaded by Spitzgogo_CHEN (Nokia 6230i)
I just love to talk on the phone
With my family, to anyone willing.
I choose Dad or Grandpa, my Grandma or friend,
Then I push the right button. It's thrilling!
As I talk I feel like I'm a grownup,
And not just a little kid playing.
It will be even better when those that I call
Will understand what I am saying.

Sometimes I'd Like to Be a Cloud
cotton ball cloud
Originally uploaded by egg money
Sometimes I'd like to be a cloud
Away up in the air,
And look down at the tiny trees
And houses from up there.
Then, looking at my mom and dad,
So small and far below,
I'd be their little boy again,
Because they love me so.

Anteater, Panteater
If the one is an anteater because it eats ants,
Is the other a panteater when it eats pants?
(Thank you to this photographer for the nibbling goat and to this photographer for the anteater. Poem by Donnell Allan.)
