The 12 Days of Christmas: My Baby Gave to Me
There’s nothing like the holidays to make you wonder where the year went, and reflect on the good times gone by with a smile. As a mom of a baby (who’s somehow managed to become a toddler since I started writing here), I figured I’d have a little bit of fun with a holiday carol. Perhaps you can relate?

…my baby gave to me,
Two head bashes,
And a wake-up call right around 3.
On the third day of Christmas...
…my baby gave to me,
Three loud “no”s,
Two head bashes,
And a wake-up call right around 3.
