I gotta play by myself today <br />cause Mommy is cleaning and mopping. <br />Then she’ll be calling a sitter <br />for when she goes grocery shopping. <br /> <br />The sitter, she’s really boring. <br />She’s always on the dumb phone, <br />or painting her nails or combing her hair <br />so I guess I’ll be playing alone … <br /> <br />I think I will get out my play dough <br />and make a spaghetti pie. <br />Or maybe, I'll feed all my dollies <br />so they won't be fussy and cry. <br /> <br />At two, I’ll watch my TV shows. <br />Till then, I'll build with my blocks. <br />When I'm done, I'll pick them all up <br />(if I can get 'em all back in the box) . <br /> <br />Maybe after, my secret friend and I <br />will draw a picture or two <br />with all my favorite crayons, <br />specially the reds greens and blues. <br /> <br />I really like my toys and games <br />and my other good stuff … but gee, <br />I think ALL playing is funner <br />when Mommy is here beside me.<br /><br />C.J.
