Isabella - from a New Angle!

Mum's kitchen has a cosy nook
Where good humour seems to flow
Our cherubs have a cheeky look
And face the camera like a pro!

From Thomas, proud, a sunny beam
As Isabella turns on stool
Tom-the-cat enjoys the cream
While Isabella plays it cool.

I often wonder what they think
Their minds abuzz – in overdrive
She, adorable in pink
Has thoughts aplenty deep inside.

While Thomas speaks and learns to read
She questions all without a sound
Unable still to voice her needs
Observing what goes on around ...

At sixteen months, she climbs new heights
Disciple in Big Brother's wake
The stool gives her commanding rights
An advantage she is keen to take!
