The reasons my toddler cries,

are as multiple as flies:

sometimes his blocks don’t stack just right,

sometimes something won’t budge under all his might;

sometimes the song he picks is wrong,

sometimes the song is just too long,

sometimes the cat does not want to play,

and sometimes it’s just not his day;

socks too orange, cereal too wet,

food too seasoned, nap time too set,

all I know for sure, is by the end of the day he will have wept.
