Emmettstivus

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
In his crib, he was sleeping, the babe with no hair
His parents, they had hopes..."Through the night, does he dare?"
The adults were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of a full nights sleep danced in their heads.
When from the babe's belly, there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter
Over to his crib, I flew like a flash
Bent down and discovered...wee Emmett had gas.
His pampers all changed, his nose, it was kissed
He drifted to dreamland while sucking his fist.
He stirred only once more, for a late night snack
Then giggled and cooed while lying on his back.
But I heard him quite clearly, as I turned out his light
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"
From our little family to yours...Merry Christmas!
