Poppy has composed an original song that she will sing--well, more like chant--spontaneously and frequently. The lyrics are:
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
The sun will come up in the morning.
Or, if I were to transcribe it the way she actually says it, it would be:
Don' be 'fwaid
Don' be 'fwaid
Don' be 'fwaid
Sun'll come up in the monin'.
An excellent mantra for all of us these days.
Poppy also advocates flinging yourself down and screaming and crying when it all gets to be too much and you need to rage against the injustice of life.
In between those episodes of emotional venting, everything should be as normal as possible. Play. Talk. Laugh. Eat. Read books. Make silly faces.
Like so.
And don't be afraid. The sun will come up in the morning.

Makes me sigh a deep sigh to know she is SO right.
Thanks Poppy!
Having the freedom to rage, without consequences, when life is too much is a priceless gift. Use it while you got it Poppy.
How wonderful!
