| Last Halloween at 6 months old (What a miserable little lion!) |
| This Halloween at 18 months old (All grins for this giraffe) |
| Past bedtime! |
| Caleb has been seeing pumkins everywhere this year and lovin' every minute! |
giraffe
How lucky
To live
So high
Above
The body,
Breathing
At heaven's
Level,
Looking
Sun
In the eye;
While down
Below
The neck's
Precarious
Stair,
Back, belly,
And legs
Take care
Of themselves,
Hardly
Aware
Of the head's
Airy
Affairs.
(from All the Small Poems and Fourteen More by Valerie Worth)


I love that book of poetry! It's great for teaching inferences :)
