Out and About

I know it is late. I had to unwind from a pretty busy day. Today C.J. and I could not sleep to late. We both had to get up and dressed so we could go be displayed at mommy's job. Since she went back they heard all about C.J., what she did, how she looked, mommy even shared with them her contemplation over a pair of boots she happened to wear today. The visit would not be easy, C.J. was acting like a diva from the moment her eyes opened this morning. This means I do not want to do anything for myself daddy and I want to be held. This is a problem because I can not shower or dress holding a fifteen pound baby.

To make sure mommy was aware of her daughters actions I informed her that if we were late or did not make it would be due to her diva daughter. (Notice how she is not cooperating so I do not claim her, lol) Mommy was OK with that and I guess she anxiously waited to see if we would show or not. C.J. did finally get it together so I could shower and dress and then I bathed and dressed her. We had to put on our good clothes so mommy would not be ashamed of us.

When we get to Perth Amboy we have to walk a few blocks to get into the school. Who ever built a school with no parking in the middle of a residential neighborhood was crazy. I guess way back when the building was built the teachers still lived withing walking distance of their jobs. Once we finally got it and met mommy the tour began. We went from room to room, this teacher and that one until we settled in mommy's classroom where the students were really nice surprisingly. One girl was thrilled with C.J., so much so that she told Mrs. Johnson that if she left her for a second she would take her. I must say she knew quite a bit about children and probably would do a great job with her. She went on and on and on about babies and how she thought C.J. should be a model and how she will have long thick hair. I guess we will see in a few years if she really was an expert in the area.

From the school we went to visit Ma Lucy (the babysitter) before she went on her trip south. C.J. has not been to the sitter in two weeks due to her being sick and daddy being on vacation. Ma Lucy was very happy and genuinely missed C.J. I told her not to get to comfortable in Atlanta because we need her to come back. She is so great with C.J. and I am glad that God blessed us with her.

From there it was back home to take a picture for C.J. Pop Pop and then it was out and about to finish the little bit of Christmas shopping we needed to do and get some groceries. As usual C.J. was great as we were out, she is such a great baby! I know she had to be worn out by the end of the night and she proved it by coming home, eating and then going to sleep. It has been fun with it just being C.J. and daddy. Now mommy is home and the two will become three. Hopefully she will let us get into a little trouble. When mommy is home she is the Sheriff and we are the crooks! We wil be on our bext behavior! You all continue to pray for us as we continue to develop a great father/daughter relationship.

As I beat the clock and sign off always remember to pray. We all now that prayer changes things.
