I Know Someone Who Sleeps Alot


This was the log cabin we stayed in on our trip to the Grand Canyon. Notice how Ivy is sleeping with her favorite pink sparkle shoes on. And Eli. Well, what can I say? He fell asleep that way!

When I went to wake Lizzie up for school last Friday, she was already awake and eating breakfast. As I assembled her lunch, she recited three verses of a poem for me that she'd thought up that morning. She figured out some more on Saturday. She says she's not done yet, but here's what she's got so far! Here goes:

I know someone who sleeps alot,
his name is Barney Joe,
he kind of looks like Santa,
and always says "ho, ho."

I know someone who sleeps
alot, she likes to make weird faces,
her name is Petunia Wyent,
and she never ties her laces.

I know someone who sleeps alot
his name is Marty Wax
His favorite goblet's name
is Max.

I know someone who sleeps alot
her name is Penny Lumiest.
Even though she is the glumiest
I laugh, for she's the funniest.

I know someone who sleeps alot,
and she's a puppy wuppy,
her coat is made of fur,
and her real name is Uppy.

I know someone who sleeps alot,
his name is........I don't know.
Can you guess?
For we might have a
show.

(Show your guess here)

All I can say is, sometimes I wish I knew three little kids who slept a
little bit more...

LOL. If I send Zach's name over, do you think she could add him to the poem and teach him how to sleep while she's at it?
