Last year, when I was little,
I slept tucked up in my cot
But now I have a big bed
Cos a baby I am not.
And before, when I was small,
I needed help to eat my tea
But now I manage by myself
Cos now, you see, I'm three!
When Mummy counts to twenty
To make my milk warm up
I run and make the microwave
Go ping, and fetch my cup.
I can dress myself, do socks and shoes
And now I've got new sandals
But things with zips and buttons
Well, they're trickier to handle.
I can kick a ball and hop and climb
And trampoline and run
But when Daddy makes the swing go high
That's really, REALLY fun.
I might dress up as a pirate
Wear a crown, or veil or wig
And sometimes I'm a superhero
Now that I am big.
When the phone rings Mummy lets me say
'Hello' and 'How are you?'
And I know how to 'pooter
To Skype my Grandad too.
Sometimes I go swimming
And I love it at Soft Play
And the lady plays guitar and sings
On Rock-a-billy day.
I know all the bear necessities
And that the Grinch has feelings
And when Uncle Albert giggles
He has tea up on the ceiling.
I'm getting really brave now
I blow bubbles in my bath
With my face under the water.
It makes everybody laugh.
My friends are Niall and Harry
(They're the boys who live next door)
And there's Ishmael and Elijah.
Tilly too (she's nearly four!)
But even though I'm big
I like a cuddle with my Mummy
Especially when I'm tired
Or there's a poorly in my tummy.
Now I'm getting so grown up
I soon won't wear a nappy
Cos I'll wee wee in the toilet.
That will really make me happy.
I'm such a busy bee
There's just no time to tell you more.
So bye for now, till next year
By which time I will be four!
