I am your little baby

Full of smiles and giggles

An energetic being

Prone to constant wiggles

And I'm sure you love to keep me

Clean and neatly dressed

But facing new adventures

Are the moments I like best

Food is an adventure

It's not simply meant to eat

I actually like to wear it

From my head down to my feet

I love how dirt and water

Magically turn to mud

That clogs the drain completely

When you throw me in the tub

And I'm always ready to color

Still I can't quite understand

Why you make me do it on paper

Not the walls or on my hands

Life is truly so much fun

And everything is so new

That I may make you laugh...or shake your head

At the silly things I do

Yet I'm happiest when I'm sticky, colored or stained

So it's no use to try and change me

Just take a deep breath and enjoy all the fun

'Cause I'm cutest when I'm messy!
