There's a new kid in town and Nonie's adjusting slowly.She liked to be the baby cousin.
A title stripped from her in a moment's notice and two weeks early.
But I must say, having a new baby in town makes me really savor these days.
At 5 1/2, and 3 1/2 Dec & Nonie are still babies. My babies.
And most importantly - they still need me.
To tie shoes, pour milk, kiss boo boos, tuck them in,
rinse shampoo out of eyes, buckle car seats, cut pizza,
put on toothpaste, zipper jackets, open paints sets,
read the "hard words", make popcorn, give underdogs,
answer questions, comb their hair
my babies still need me
not quite, but almost as much as
I need them.
