When I was Little, By Dallas Griffin 2003

Guessing on date, but about 2003 probably is accurate
Dallas published a book with pictures.  It is so cute!  Here is the text.

When I was Little…
By Dallas Griffin

Dedicated to my dad, Andy Griffin

When I was little I cried all the time,
Now I never cry.

When I was little I loved to hear my mom read stories to me,
I still do.

When I was little I used to spill snacks,
Now I eat them.

When I was little I used to put lipstick all over the counter,
Now I clean up.

When I was little I used to climb in my brother’s bed, drink his bottle, and fall asleep,
Now I climb in my own top bunk to sleep.

When I was little I used to play with tools,
Now I use them to fix my bike.

When I was little I was as big as my puzzle,
Now I’m bigger than my puzzle!

When I was little I used to bite every donut,
Now I eat just one.

When I was little I liked to get my hair cut,
Now I don’t like it.

When I was little I liked to relax and read the paper,
Now I like to relax and read the comics.

When I was little I liked to lick the beaters,
Now I like to lick the beaters AND the bowl!

When I was little I used to be nice,
Now I’m mean sometimes.

When I was little I could not go to school,
Now I do.

When I was little mom used to dress us up for family pictures,
She still does.
