Ella’s latest trick
You can touch your nose when asked
Daddy’s so impressed

Four generations
Our lives all wound together
Always connected

Missing haikus are
Caused by the arrival of
Your very first tooth

Haven’t been this tired
Since those early newborn days
How I miss my sleep

A creaky floorboard
Woke you from your deep slumber
I’ll be more careful

Down the slide you go
Plop! Splash! Into the water
My brave little girl

No hard or easy
Just harder and easier
It’s all relative
