The house is in an uproar
and everyone is gay,
a little baby girl
is coming home today.
Feeling quite resentful
is that little boy John,
what good is a sister -
babies make him yawn.
He knows well what is coming
all the fuss and noise,
she'd better leave him be
and never touch his toys!
But upstairs in the playroom
the toys are having fun,
they're throwing quite a party
and invited everyone.
The music box is playing
and the bear takes a chance -
he gears up all his courage
and asks the doll to dance.
They whirl about the room
and stumble on the bunny,
the bunny drops the cake
and even that is funny.
They've been quite sad and lonely
when John didn't want to play,
but now there is a baby -
it is a brand new day!
♡
This post is dedicated to all of you
who thought my doll and bear deserved better.
They thank you for caring.

The poem is fantastic Amalia and your dolls are beautiful and unique!
I think you could create a children's book with your delightful poetry and amazing creations! This is just too adorable, I could just imagine the dolls having their little whirl while John sulked... lol!
That's a sweet poem and the dolls and bears are just adorable, Amalia. What a cute team!
Such a tender post, full of playfulness. The dolls look cozy, all tucked up together. Just like a sleepover party. I hope John enjoys the new baby eventually.
Mas que poema mais fofo!! esses bonequinhos e essa bolsinha sĆ£o lindos demais!

I love those little cloth dolls tucked inside their blanket. And the poem is such a cute one. Have you ever considered writing a children's book, Amalia? The girls want to write a children's book about their special traveling bear.

Amalia, your poems are the only ones I read! I love your little world. The crochet blanket and the dolls are so pretty!
Absolutely CHARMING! Everything from the perfect rhyme to the perfectly handmade "dolls" - but we know better: they are REAL!!!!!!
Oh my, SO sweet!! I am sure the bear and doll are thrilled to be in your sweet poem.
I am clapping my hands with glee your bear and doll have a new little one to play with. Perhaps John will come around....how could he not join in all that fun upstairs.....and cake too; he doesn't know what he is missing. Gorgeous, gorgeous poem Amalia and those softies and crochet blanket....just beautiful!
This "Happy" post has me smiling and just can't stop! Your sweet poem describes any little one waiting on a new baby sibling to arrive home. The doll babies just to adorable! Thanks for my early morning smiles to go with my coffee……….Happy Spring.
You have such a way with words. LOVE this post! Cheers.
Giggles galore! Oh, my dear friend, you are a delight. I always share your poems with Dennis (as you probably already have surmised) and he said just now, "She brings so much joy!" Yes, yes, you do. Love from us in the U.S.. ~ Nancy
Hello Amalia, I love the cute bed you made, the stuffed toys, the beautiful crochet blanket and of course the story!
TFS this with us at Cooking and Crafting with J & J.
Have a wonderful week and weekend.

So sweet xx
That is so sweet, Amalia! When my oldest daughter was a little girl she used to name all of her stuffed animals. I'll bet the new little sister will love these dolls very much :)
Sweet as can be. So happy they got a chance to play and laughed about the cake. What a good group they are.
xx oo
Love, Love your imagination!!
Carla

And everyone will be happy in the end, maybe even little John! Love all of your beautiful crafts.
They look so cute and happy!!! Just gorgeous! xx
Ahhh...favorite softies all together! I brought out one of my favorite rag dolls to sit here beside me as I write on my computer. I needed the comfort! Sweet hugs, Diane
Cute adorable softies!!!

Oh Amalia - this post brought tears to my eyes because today my brand new granddaughter went home with our son and daughter-in-law. A new family and they are so happy! We are thrilled too. All new toys have found a home in her lovely new bedroom. Jayden is two days old today! Love your poem and the pretty bed. They are snug and happy!
This is SO cute!! :)
Thanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!
That may well be the best compliment ever, Vee! Thank you!
How kind, Maya. Thank you!
It is one of my dreams to one day write a book. Thank you very me for this wonderfully supportive message.
How kind, Lorrie. I am happy to report that John is coming around.
Well, of course they are real! And don't they work hard for us :-)
Oh, I hope they are! I didn't think to ask them :-)
Isn't it just like a little boy to sit sulking in the corner and make you work extra hard to coax him out of it? Thank you for this lovely, lovely comment, Kim.
Joy works both ways, Nancy! You are both so very kind. Thank you!!!
I used to name them as well! Half of them were named Cindy for some reason. I'd forgotten about that :-)
Thank you, Carla. I'm wondering if I should continue with their story or move on. I've never written a follow-up post before and it was fun.
I so like this idea of sharing my post with one of your favorite dolls, Diane. Perhaps she could come to the party, though I did spot a rather nice tea party on going on at yours.
Your poetry and wonderful creations always tickle my heart in the best of ways.
Awww, that's adorable -- your little poems are always so sweet and fun! And this one has a happy ending -- YAY!!!
Adorable poem, you are extremely talented. Happy Easter
They are adorable and look so cozy in the granny squares...love the poetry too...and happy ending are a good thing. Thanks for visiting!
Just got caught up with the post below and then this one. Both were wonderful and so much fun to read.
These are just as cute as can be! They look so happy snuggled up together.
They all look so snug and cozy in bed together! I don't think they are going to sleep tho. They look wide awake!! Congrats on the new baby girl that's part of your life. How fun!
I laughed out loud at the photo! so darn cute and the poem is delightful :)

Ha!! Ha!! Loved this Amalia! Makes me want to slip upstairs to join the toys' party! Let's crank up the turntable!!

Love your poetry....please write more!
Amalia, I see a children's book in your future! Perfectly charming!
Little John may be apprehensive, but he'll love his baby sister when she arrives. In a few years, this is he who may be twirling his sister around the room. :-)
Thank you for participating to my Fabric, Thread and Yarn Link party. Have a good weekend!
Hello, what a cute poem! Happy days welcoming home a new baby girl. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend.
Happy Easter to you and your family!
Hello Amalia,
This is Shirley from Teach The Younger Women blog. Just stopping by to say hello and thank you for your comment. I love your blog and added it to my sidebar so I can visit when you post.
Have a beautiful day,
Shirley
So glad that their story had a happy ending. Happy Easter. xx

I'm thinking you could write children's books and use your creations as the illustrations. Have I said that before?
Amalia, thank you for sharing your amazing skills with Thoughts of Home on Thursday. Happy Easter. :)
Darling! Boy... at my house, my cats would be fighting over who gets to sleep on all those babies in that adorable bed lol...
so cute.
What the lovely toys! They made my day.
Happy Easter to you!
Truly darling softies! Thank you for linking up this wonderful post on Thoughts of Home on Thursday. May you have a glorious Easter!
I had to go back and find out the story on the little doll and bear. They do look happier now!
So it is now 4 days since the precious baby girl came home? Has it been a wonderfully busy time? All is well? Big brother is adjusting and lots of story time to entertain him?
Blessings to all,
Dewena
These are darling and will be included in my Special Featured Blogs tomorrow! Thanks for sharing and linking!
I had to laugh at the timing of my reading this. A family member just had a baby today. Her little boy looked at his new baby sister and asked if she had to come home with them.
Thanks for sharing your poem at SYC.
Hi Amalia. Its a very beautiful poem. You can write so well. I hope little John is getting used to having a little sister getting all the attention. All those soft cuties are looking forward to play with little sister.

How lovely and amusing too with John's attitude to his new sister. I'm glad all the toys will be loved once more. Great poem:)
Oh, little boys are so sweet, especially when they don't mean to be š
They were when I took the photo. There's been a tiff or two since then.
What an adorable poem Amalia and such sweet crochet and embroidery toys.
Hugs Diane
That is the sweetest poem and your little cuddly babies are so darling. Happy Easter.
I wish you a very Happy Easter, Amalia !!
So many comments. Congratulations on the new baby! Such excitement.
Your poem is lovely. What a great gift God has given you!
Precious handmade dolls all tucked under the granny square afghan.
Have a blessed Easter.
Happy Easter, dear Amalia.
love, ~Sheri
Adorable! Your toys will fit right in with Woody and the rest of the gang from Toy Story.
Hello Amalie,
Happy Easter and lovely Greetings,
Christine
What adorable toys, Amalia, and I loved your sweet poem. The crocheted granny square blanket is perfect for all of them to cuddle under.
Precious toys and precious poem! And how creative is that box?
hugs,
Jann
Very nice, sweet and lovely. All! Happy Easter. Mariuccia
Spring is the perfect time to bring a new baby into the world. Lots of excitement even if some people are less than impressed! ;-) Happy Easter!
Dearest Amalia, thank you so much for coming to visit my post! I lost quite a bit of readers when I took a long break, and it's lovely to see someone comment. Yes, I am a lover of aqua blue and white, and you are kind to comment on it. I just enjoy light colors in my home! I hope you have a wonderful Easter Sunday to simply relax and dream! Anita
How sweet! Love all those cute little stuffies!
