Now you are one, my little girl, and what things can you do?

Let’s list them off and show the world so they can see them too.

Open doors all by yourself

And open cupboard doors as well

You can feed yourself apparently

You’re a fashion victim aged twelve-months

You’re discovering how keys turn locks

You watch TV as though you’re five

You like to walk the dog sometimes

You love all of our animals

You like to drive your pretty car

You tried to paddle a kayak once

So here’s to all the fun we have

I know we’ll keep on having such fun

Happy birthday, sweetheart!
