I’ve set up my stand.
I only take cash.
I sell toupees made for birds.
When bald eagles land
I’ll sell out in a flash.
Get your before the whole herd!

Kids Poem: Underwater Mailman
The underwater mailman
grabs his sack of mail
and walks down to the beach
on an old and dusty trail.
He checks his air supply,
then dons his scuba gear.
His flippers flop around
as he jumps off of the pier.
Graceful as a fish
he flutters, kicks and dives.
At noon I get excited:
not long ‘til mail arrives.

Like most parents, my weeks are usually filled with another first. You have first laughs, first words, first crawl, first steps, etc, etc, etc. But the most heart-warming part of all these firsts is that my son wants to share them with ME.
Whenever he’s working on a new skill, he always takes time to show both my wife and I what he just mastered. Of all of the billions of people in the world, my son chooses to tell me about them — that’s such an amazing honor that I try to show him the same respect back. I make sure to give him some undivided attention every day. There’s no phone call, iphone message or TV show that’s more important than the excitement he feels after discovering something new.
So take a step back from your day and try to give your kids fifteen more minutes of completely undivided attention than you did yesterday. Just watch them play. Marvel at how much they’ve grown and learned… then you’ll wonder why you ever did anything else with that time.

Short Kids Poem: Carpet Seeds
I sprinkled carpet seeds
before going to bed.
(They’re tiny little pods
of balled-up dark green thread.)
Immediately my floor
sprouted fine green hair.
It grew up through my toes!
I leaped onto the chair!
A rug crept up the wall.
My room had Berber drawers.
A tapestry had grown
clear across the doors.
A dozen fiber vines
tangled through my room.
A nylon carpet flower
opened in full bloom.
I could not believe
the way the fabric spread…
I’m glad I didn’t plant
the leopard seeds instead!
