Just Like Home Daycare

Toddler's Creed

If I want it,
it's mine.

If I give it to you
and change my mind later,
it's mine.

If I can take it away from you
it's mine.

If I had it a little while ago,
it's mine.

If it's mine,
it will never belong to anybody else,
no matter what.

If we are building something together,
all the pieces are mine.

If it looks just like mine,
it's mine.

Don't Call Me A Babysitter

Little Children come to me for hugs and books and such.
I care for all their special needs and also fix them lunch.
I pick up toys, mop up spills, and often dry their tears.
I change their diapers, settle fights and kiss away their fears.
I tie their shoes, button coats and push them on the swing.
I really love these kids, you see, but there is just one thing.
Call me Mom or Aunt or Teacher or other names that fit,
But please don't call me the "sitter", because I never get to sit!
