Tuts turns three

(Typed on phone excuse any typo's until

I can get home)

Our Tuts, our jojo turns three tomorrow. 

In some ways it seems like a lifetime ago

Since she was born, like she has been with

Us forever. Other times, like just yesterday 

When she came into our world. 

It is in her three years of life

That I, as a single woman has

Made the most changes in my life. 

I will always look upon her little life 

As being almost like a new birth 

For myself as well. 

Our Jojo/tuts is one of the funniest litttle

Sprites, like a little fairy

Who has come into our chaotic lives

To remind us to "slow down" 

Take a minute to smells the roses,

Sit down and watch her perform. 

I hope I always give her that time, 

When she decides to entertain us.

I will share one of our many Jojo-isms. 

She had show off day at dancing 

And while the other girls stood in a line and

Followed the teachers dance steps,

Jo walked back and forth from wall to wall

Singing her favorite Muhana song. 

Nothing was going to kill her party. 

A few days later she came to play 

And I took the opportunity to read 

To her the card/ love letter I had made her. 

Partly,

"I am so proud of how you sing when 

You want and dance when you want..." 

she stared right into my eyes, as serious 

As a three year old could be.....

I am thinking she is going to thank me

But no, not our jojo...

"I wish, I could be the perfect daughter,

But I come back to the water...."

I think she may be finished, no

A breath and then 

"Every step I take every move I make..."

Yes she sang the whole song...

And her Mumsie, well she melted 

" you our sweet jojo, you are more than the perfect 

Daughter. You are the most 

Grandest three year old I Know"

Happy birthday sweet jojo
