And little boys are such pills into everything, testing and teasing and toying. This so reminded me of my little brother. Oh, sometimes I could not wait until my mother put the little one to bed.

What a delightful poem and photo of Sawyer with an evil looking expression on his face! I think this one could be a winner!

Comment from BethShelby
This is cute. What a delightful picture. Is Leander Sawyer's alter ego? I love the last verse where the mom fingures out how to end the day by tucking her bad little angel into bed.

Yep, Leander is the evil twin who has been throwing blueberries at Mommy lately. LOL Thanks so much, Beth :-) Brooke
Comment from tbacha58
She'd let him steal from butterflies,
but starlight was her limit,
and so she fluffed her villain's bed
and tucked Leander in it.
What a charming poem, the picture is amazing, I enjoyed sharing with you your writings about your grandchildren. Bless u Terry

Comment from TheWriteTeach
I enjoyed this piece very much. Your words fit the picture perfectly. The expression on this little darling's face and your first line are the perfect marriage. I loved the ending. It told us that Mom let Leander be a little boy and do the things children must do while exploring the world, but at the end of the day, she tucked him in bed to rest up for more big adventures tomorrow.
This was awesome. Good luck in the contest.

I saw the picture and thought to myself what a stern expression. Sawyer looked perfectly evil. What a great story/poem to go with this picture. I assume you wrote it after you saw the picture, because they go together so well.

Comment from Teresa Paul
Sawyer certainly looks mad, I will give you that. This well written poem with wonderful rhymed stanzas made me forget the poem was speaking about an evil little boy. Sawyer just looks mischievous. This must be another boy in your fictitious and gently rhymed well flowing poem. Thank you for sharing the poem and the cute picture of your beloved grandson. So cute. I bet you love him to pieces. Grandchildren are so much easier, if they misbehave, mom and dad can take them home. I find it too hard to discipline mine. It breaks my heart. Thank you for sharing. Yours, Teresa.

A truly evil boy with his many evil ways.
Maybe he will never learnt but somehow children can behave badly and adult parents have all the time in the world to teach them.
Good or evil are conditions we placed upon our children.
If they turned out bad, we are partly to be blamed too.
Children are innocent until proven guilty later in life. Smiles.
Cheerio, hugs, Ritchie. :)).
Good luck to the contest.

LOl. Children can be funny at times but they are such a joy, smiles.
You have a great weekend and hope you can visit them soon for a holiday.
I can still recall the pic of you carrying Sawyer and it's such a cute pic too. He was much younger then.
Cheerio, hugs, Ritchie. :))
