she has just turned 5.
he is about to be 2.
as he lays down
for a diaper change,
he grabs the ball of yarn
she has been ‘knitting’ with.
(note: ‘knitting’ involves
wrapping yarn around
and around the needles
as if to make a
very short, wide pompom)
she looks at her ‘knitting’,
looks at him,
and begins to sing,
“oh, i love my cute little baby.
big sisters knit for their babies and brothers.
i am knitting the cutest little hat for his very, very cutest little head.”
a kodak moment if ever there was one.
Delightful! 🙂
