Once I was a mean baby

Once I was a tiny toddler

Once I was a kindergartener

Now I am 10

Once I was a funny dancer

Once I was a crazy kid

Once I was short

Now I am kind of tall

Once I was in first grade

Once I was going to get to skip to third grade

Once I jumped out of a tree

Now I am smarter than that

Once I was scared

Once I was happy

Once I was 9

Now I am a 5th grader who is 10, soon to be 11
