Happy Birthday, Carlie!

Don't know why I picked a frog.
Guess he might live in a bog.
I probably could have picked a dog,
Or, my favorite, some egg nog.

I don't know which animal you like,
But I know you just learned to ride a bike!
You told those training wheels 'Take a hike!'
And you definitely don't need to ride a trike.

I like this frog's smile,
But it trails yours by a mile!
You always show yours with style,
Even if we only get to see it once in a while.

Our sweet, dear, Carlie, it's true,
We want to say 'Happy Birthday' to you.
We will say it 'til our faces are blue;
WE LOVE YOU!
