Oh-oh! I did something wrong again.
I can see it in your face.
I'm sorry I disappoint you so much.
Maybe if I play by myself
I won't make as many mistakes
And then you will like me more.
I really want to play with you,
But when you want me to do things I cannot do,
A war starts and no one has fun.
I wish you knew how much I learn
When we just have fun together.
When you are funny, I remember everything you do.
Believe me, I am doing what I can do
You can teach me more
But only in little steps that are possible for me.
When I see that you think I am wrong,
I have to get away,
And then I don't learn with you.
Cool it, I will learn much more if you just play with me,
You're not supposed to be my teacher,
I will learn more when you are a playful parent.
Your job is not to make me perfect.
Your job is to make me confident and optimistic,
And then I will be as smart as I can be.
When you look sad and scared, I feel that way too
I can't be your "perfect" but I'm learning.
Trust me and we will do it together.
All I need to learn and grow
Is to be happy with you
Le me in and let's do it together.
