Diaper Duty Disaster
In the battle of the diaper, Mom stands bold,
New terrain, where tales of chaos are told.
Armed with wipes and a fresh pack,
Baby plots a counterattack.
Snap goes the diaper, a clean fit—
Not for long, a surprise hit!
Peek-a-boo! It’s a leak so sly,
Mom’s shirt bids a dry goodbye.
Oh! The joys of motherhood’s test,
Laughter rings amidst the mess.
In this game where diapers fly,
Mom just laughs and sighs, “Oh my!”

The Mystery of Missing Socks
Where do all the baby socks go?
Mom’s detective hat is now in tow.
Laundry’s done, pairs should be here—
Yet, somehow, one always disappears.
Checked under beds, in every nook,
Even consulted a mystery book.
Could there be a sock-eating gnome?
Or do they just roam and find a new home?
Mom laughs as she buys a pack more,
Sure they’ll vanish, just like before.
In this home where socks like to wander,
Mom wonders, and keeps on with her ponder.

The Naptime Negotiator
Mom enters, a plan in her mind,
“Naptime, dear, don’t fall behind!”
Toddler grins, a plot unfolds,
“Nap? That’s for the very olds!”
Books and songs, all tricks deployed,
Yet little feet seem overjoyed.
“Five more minutes?” a small plea,
Mom sighs, “Okay, make it three.”
Pillow forts and cuddly toys,
Whispers, giggles, subtle ploys.
“Sleep now, love, just close your eyes,”
Toddler winks, “I’m not that wise!”
Negotiations, round and round,
Mom’s tactics lost, no sleep found.
In this dance, who leads who?
Mom chuckles, “It’s a coup!”

Potty Training Prose
Mom’s geared up, it’s potty time,
Toddler’s face says, “Is this a crime?”
First attempt, a cautious sit,
Seconds later, “I’m done with it!”
Bribery with treats and toys,
Still, more interest in bath decoys.
“Pee-pee goes in the potty,” Mom sings,
Toddler thinks, “Are these real things?”
Accidents on rugs, a daily show,
Mom’s patience starts to ebb and flow.
Cheers for drops in the proper place,
Frowns for puddles, a high-speed chase.
Toilet paper rolls unwind,
Mom laughs to keep from losing her mind.
Through trials of wet and dry,
“Potty champ!” her hopeful cry.
