The Pitter Patter Of Little Feet

On Sunday our 19 month old granddaughter came to visit and stay with us for a few days. (2 little feet) Along with her came the family dog, a golden retriever named Mabel. (4 little feet plus 2 little feet=6 little feet) Add to that mix my cocker spaniel named Buffy who is not at all pleased with the prospect of sharing her domain, not to mention my affections. (4 little feet plus 6 little feet=10 little feet) Then my five year old grandson arrives on the scene this morning just in time to discover (HIS) Mimi is B-U-S-Y. (2 little feet plus 10 little feet=12 little feet) I do not know who is the most jealous.....the cocker spaniel or the grandson.

Let's just say this is one tired Mimi.....bedtime will be early tonight!!

  1. Your "addition" problem was a wonderful way to show what happened at your house. Busy busy, right?

  3. Love the addition--and the cumulative nature of this piece. I hope that all the little feet were fun today and that you are getting to put yours up now!

  4. This sounds like a picture book! I've only said this once before, but I can see all the little feet in the pictures and the addition problems!!!

  5. I could visualize the unfolding of your post: the frenzy, the jealousy, the love going around. Your exhaustion. I agree with Tam: it would make a great picture book! And like everyone else, I loved the addition that created a twist on repetition in your piece.
