Talk to me
Sing, hum, babble or even read the funnies to me! I don’t know exactly
what you’re saying, but I need to hear you. And I do know what you mean,
even if I may not know words. Like your voice tones mean “I love you’.
Or when you yell, I hear “you’re a pest!” Unless you communicate with me
how can learn? I learn from you.
Hold me
Everything is so big and new to me I don’t understand where I am. Or
who I am. And I get scared. But when you hold me I feel better. Your
warmth warms me. Your breath and heartbeat make me feel I belong. Belong
here. Belong to you.
Answer my cry
I don’t cry to get you
upset. Or to get you mad. I cry because I can’t tell you how I feel any
other way. Maybe I’m cold…or wet…or hungry…or scared and lonely. Answer
my cries. You’ll soon know what each one means. You wont spoil me.
You’ll help me to be a better baby…and to make you happier, too.
Love me
Like me. Love me just as I am. Don’t expect me to do what I can’t do.
Like being toilet-trained. My muscles aren’t ready yet. I know I’m
messy. But I’m growing. Overlook my baby weakness. You’re the most
important person in my world. I can’t make it without you. So get to
know me. Have fun with me. And love me…just as I am.
