Look, Mom!
I can write on my own.
I hold the pencil with my hand,
and make my mark on the paper.
See? That's my name!
Look, Mom!
I can eat on my own.
Fork on the left hand,
spoon on the right.
And I scoop the food into my mouth. Yum!
Look, Mom!
I can dress up on my own.
First my underwear,
then my shirt and shorts,
then my socks and shoes.
Look, Mom!
I can tie my shoes on my own.
A loop on the left,
and a loop on the right,
then I loop the two loops together.
Look, Mom!
I can read on my own.
Left to right, top to bottom,
turn the page, and do it again.
Now you don't have to read me a bedtime story!
Thank you, Mom,
for teaching me
how to do things
on my own.
