FIRST BATH

FIRST BATH

As look up from the chaging table

I wonder what mama is doing

As she undresses me

She picks me up

And carries me over to

something

And lays me down

In it

As she puts me in it

I wonder what it is

As a wetness is felt

I look up at mama

And she coos at me

As she begins bathing me

She smiles

At me

I cry at first

but her cooing at me

calms me

She dries me of

Smiling and cooing

And says

There there my little baby

She lays me down

And changes me

Putting me into a new diaper
