Greetings Friends,

TT is crying and yelling about spring.

Spring is hiding from me. I can’t see him anywhere. Who cares about Spring?

I’ll sing and cheer TT up.

Open your eyes, feel the breeze

Hear the birds, touch a flower.

  Look up, not down, look around.

 I hate your singing! Dogs don’t sing! Where are the flowers? How can I see Spring? A tummy can’t look up. My eyes look down at the ground. Get it! I can’t look up! I’m a DOWN tummy, not an Up tummy.

“Give it a try TT. Here’s a rose bush. Can you smell the flowers? Stretch up and look. One, two, three, stretch and smell the roses.”

Help me out! Stand on your hind legs. Get movin! Move closer. I see beautiful pink roses and  I can smell them. I see Spring! I like Spring, but I’m HUNGRY. I can’t EAT SPRING. I can smell it, I can’t eat it!

“TT, I have to sit down now. Each day, I’ll try to give you some looking time. I’ll stand up, and you can look up. Please, forget about eating and start looking.That’s where the HAPPIES are. We don’t want to miss our friends, and things that make us happy.

My HAPPIES are nibblers, pig-outs and munchers . . . FOOD! I’m TT a HUNGRY Talking Tummy, so food comes first and friends are second.

Kids keep smiling and looking up. Find the HAPPIES each day.Explore the outdoors; see, touch and smell Spring! Enjoy your friends, family and pets. Find a fun hobby or read a good book. Don’t forget to give yourself a hug. Remember, you’re One of a Kind.There will Never Ever be another special YOU.

Bye for now,

Stubb and TT
