quality time

on our stomachs
shunting trucks
like thomas

on our feet
giggling as i chase you
and you chase me back

on my lap
you point out
whitedogbluehorsegreenfrog
you turn the page
to see the hungrycaterpillar
eat the fiveoranges

with cups in the tub
with trains on the carpet
with blocks on the floor

we count your toes
you ride on my shoulders

i revel in your
boundless
boundless
boundless joy
