She would look good in a Harry Potter film
With her long pointy nose and colossal sticky out chin.
We play Harry Potter wizard chess
And I almost always win.

My Mama wears a long red coat
She has a white one as well.
Last week a lorry splashed past us
And made the white one smell!

Mama has 4 faces: loving, funny, angry and sad.
The loving one makes me extremely happy and glad,
I feel cared for and say “I love you”
And Mama says “I love you too”.

The funny face makes me excited and a little mad.
It comes when I remind her that she said 8 times 4 is 42
How embarrassing, how bad!

Mama only gets sad when I am sad too.
If Daddy takes my toy and says:
“Don’t do that or you can’t have it back”.
Sometimes if I do something cheeky
Like not come down for breakfast on time,
Mama tells me off and
I say don’t be angry with me
And we start to sing a little rhyme.

Mama helps me with things and teaches me.
If there is no homework to be done,
She shows me science or festivals, writing or sums.
When Mama teaches me, it is always fun.

Mama reads to me at breakfast time
And at the weekend if we have no plans
We just lie on the bed with our stories
About different people and different lands.

On Thursdays I was unhappy when Mama went back out
She had to do another job but I did really shout.
When Mama goes to bed with me
I always feel safe.
I like it when we sing our lovely night, night song
I hold the last note for so so long.

Every week I work very hard
For my pocket money and treats.
Last Friday I did so much work
We went to buy me a new toy in Upper Street.

I love my Mama more than the planets, sun and stars.
I love her more than infinity, the oceans and delicious chocolate bars.
At bedtime I snuggle up with her and my best cuddly toy.
Mama is the best Mama in the world
And I am the best baby boy!
