So who said every day would be exciting and fun-filled? Well of course C.J. does something cute everyday. Whether it be a smile, a movement, fake sleeping or acting as if she is relaxing in a hammock during bath time. I will say that she does something new daily. Now I will admit I want exciting. I want news worthy excitement on an everyday basis. If you know me I am full of action, energy and I am restless. If I could I would bounce from wall to wall in a house just because I could. Then you could imagine that I was the one at birth who wanted to take C.J. out to shoot hoops. That is half the reason I bought her a basketball within 24 hours of her coming into the world. It is the reason we listen to loud music. It is the reason why I always have her on the activity mats or in her rockers or in her play yard with the musical sound going. I wanted her to be running and walking instantly and no one could tell me otherwise.
What I am learning is that life is a process and it takes time to get up and running (no pun intended). C.J. needs time for all her limbs to connect and her bones to get strong. She needs time to develop all the reflexes needed to respond properly to the world around her. She needs time to develop her lungs so she can speak with clarity and communicate with smiles, since the frowns she already has down-packed. You really have to see her poke her little lip out, it is too cute! I have learned that I must be patient and let her come into her own. Now that doesn't mean that I do not still give her my finger to grab to work on her grip. She is pretty good with that too.
In all today was simply another day, but life long lessons always occur. We prayed as a family, C.J. was read to. She watched the Miami vs. San Diego game and then she took it down with Mommy. I think today will be the beginning of something new. We need to end the day as we started it and that is in prayer. So I must leave you now to start another component of the Johnson's of Old Bridge daily routine. As always remember to pray because prayer changes things.
