24 carrots

heres wishing a full 24 to you,
little one!

24 bronze because of those little booties
u wore when i carried u limply on my child hip

24 silver for those mornings when u used a footstool to make us
cups of tea,

and for those endearing clip-on school ties...

24 gold for being my strength and my weakness,

my partner in crime...
my greatest cheerleader,
my fiercest critic...

24 carrots to you,
for being you :P

to my little brother...
many happy returns
on your 24th!
