When I was one I couldn't run
I couldn't walk at all
I couldn't speak or say my name
But I could laugh and crawl.
When I was two what I could do
Was stand on my two feet
I could say a word or two
But I couldn't really speak.
When I was three my friends and I
Could sing the alphabet
We could recognise our names
But couldn't write them yet.
