My Crazy Jo Jo

Miss Jo Jo is quite the character. She is always making us either laugh or want to rip our hair out. She has major attitude and knows it. She can be the sweetest girl as well and makes up for those days when you want to run and hide. Here are a couple of things that she has said and did that made us laugh.
Yesterday she fell down on the sidewalk and scraped up her elbow and knee. There was hardly any blood, but to get her to calm down I cleaned it and put a bandaid on it. About a half an hour later she informs Dan and I (while somewhat crying) "I won't be able to fold my arms when we say the pray because it will hurt my elbow."
Today while I was getting ready Jo Jo starts to cry. A cry that makes you think that she has gotten hurt pretty bad. Annie comes running to us and says something about a bug, face, and some other fast said words that I didn't quite get. So we go into the kitchen and she is under the table totally crying and not moving. Dan gets in front of her and asks what is wrong. She points to her leg and there on her leg is a TINY little flying bug. It had landed on her leg and she completely and utterly LOST it. Dan got the bug off and asked her why she didn't just brush the bug off of her leg. She said she couldn't and so he showed her how she could have and she said "I can't. I'm not strong enough."
She is seriously so funny and I love her so much. I can't imagine my life without her. I am completely blessed!

Jo Jo and her new friend?

Jo Jo was doing really good not sucking her thumb during the day, until she got sick. Now she is sucking it ALL the time. She knows that she shouldn't be doing it either, because she will quickly pull it out whenever she sees me. Sometimes she will get into her bed (or mine) during any part of the day and pull the covers over her, like it is ok if she is in her bed.
Well anyways, tonight we were at my brother-in-laws house and I took Jo Jo to the bathroom before we left and while she was sitting there she says, "My thumb is crying."
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"My thumb is crying and wants her mom to put her in her mouth."
"Your thumb is crying?"
"Yes! And she wants her mom to suck on it."
I started laughing and left the bathroom.
Now I don't know if she has made her thumb a real (imaginary) being or if she was just being funny. And if she did make her thumb real should I be worried? And if it was real, why would she want to be sucked on all the time? She gets all shriveled up and wrinkly when wet. And I love how she refers to her mouth as her thumbs mom.

Oh Jo Jo you make me laugh so much. I don't know where you came up with it, but sure, whatever makes you happy.
I love you so much and your little thumb too!!!
