catch me when I jump

Also perhaps entitled 'life with teenagers'

I miss felt pens with no lids

I miss lego all over the floor

I miss the swing and jump climbing frame

I miss playmobil and beanie babies and sylvanians

I miss wellies full of water

I miss sticks brought home from every outing

I miss trampolining in the dark

I miss marathon Harry Potter readings

I miss climbing the door frames

I miss paddling pools and damp clothing

I miss feeding squirrels in the park

I miss pushchairs and piggy-backs

I miss tying shoe laces

I miss sticky fingers and sticky kisses

I miss holding hands to walk along the wall

I miss 'look at me mum'

I miss 'catch me when I jump'
