SQUISHY NOSE AND STINKY TOES

There are so many things about being a mom I love. Saturday in our house had been designated as “Tickle Saturday” some time ago and is one of my daughter’s favorite days.

Morning is quiet; we’re all sound asleep
As light begins to filter into your lullaby
Shining on all the dolls you have in a heap
Your little eyes pop open wider than wide
And a cute little daredevil grin does grace
Your silly, adorable, chubby-cheeked face
You jump from your bed clear to the hall
Into my bedroom like you’re 10 feet tall
Wakey, wakey, eggs, and bakey you cheer
Being sure to deliver the news to my ear
Letting me have it with your ten little fingers
And your squishy little nose, and stinky toes
Your favorite day; has come none too soon
As you chant your favorite wake up tune
I scream in silly delight as you playfully dig
Crazy little fingers into my too ticklish ribs
It’s tickle Saturday mom don’t you ever forget
These are the moments I will never regret
