Ode to My Bouncy Ball
Apr.10, 2011
A few weeks after David’s birth, we discovered the quickest and easiest way to soothe him to sleep was to bounce him up and down on our exercise ball. Recently, our poor ball was somehow punctured and we required to purchase a new one. So as not to make this transition without showing my gratitude, I decided to dedicate a poem to our former bouncy ball…
Oh bouncy ball
my precious toy
you helped me soothe
my little boy
When he was sad
and needed sleep
you rescued me
from baby’s weep
You’ve been with me
through thick and thin
I knew with you
I’d always win
I took you on
each journey I made
at parties and meetings
you were my aid
alas you’re flat
and past your prime
We bought a new ball
who’s young and fine
But you will still
be in my heart
The first to give
a peaceful start
Thank you!
P.S I am recording my Magical Parenting journey with David using the 7 basic principles I choose to parent by. Look out for my e-book in 2012!!
