Spaghetti

She did it!  She did it!  Kayla finally tried spaghetti again for the first time in almost three years!!!!!!  We just happened to catch her in the right mood and didn't give her an alternate meal to eat.  She took a bite and said "YUM!"  and devoured every last bit!!   Yay Kayla!!  This opens up a whole new list of dinner choices... raviolli, lasagna, PIZZA!!!!    In honor of this I give you one of my favorite all time poems by the late great Shel Silverstein.   If you child does not have Where the Sidewalk Ends, it is a must have IMHO! 


Spaghetti


Spaghetti, spaghetti, all over the place,
Up to my elbows--up to my face,
Over the carpet and under the chairs,
Into the hammock and wound round the stairs,
Filling the bathtub and covering the desk,
Making the sofa a mad mushy mess.
The party is ruined, I'm terribly worried,
The guests have all left (unless they're all buried).
I told them, "Bring presents." I said, "Throw confettii."
I guess they heard wrong
'Cause they all threw spaghetti!

Shel Silverstein
