On Monday we went with dad to see our new baby brother.
We looked at him in the incubator. Tubes went into him.
There were lots of beeping and buzzing machines.

He was really really small
Really really tiny.

We stood on a chair and reached
through a peephole into his incubator.
We held his hand and his fingers and toes.

They were really really small
Really really tiny.

We went to see him everyday - he was really very tiny.
Tubes went into him to help him breathe and eat.
And even the tubes were tiny. Machines were buzzing and
beeping. For our little baby brother

Who was really really small
Really really tiny.

We drew him pictures and talked to him.
And he started to breathe and to eat
Machines were buzzing and beeping
They told us how well he was doing, our clever baby brother

Who was really really small
Really really tiny.

We went to see our brother everyday,
and we all watched him get better and grow.
That is mum and dad and Isaac and me
and on Friday we’ll take him home.
And when he’s bigger we’ll tell him the tale of the
time when he was

Really really small
Really really tiny.
