So early in the process and I missed a day. I guess I have to blame the USC/Ohio State game for that. I will have you know that C.J. was watching it with me though. We watched that and the Notre Dame/Michigan game together yesterday while mommy went to a baby shower. For all of you who think I am nuts for having my baby girl watch sports I will have you know that she was attentive for both until she fell asleep. Seems like we have us a bonding ritual forming already. I will say that I believe that it is important for me to get close with her. She had nine months with mommy so daddy has some time to make up, lol. I have to tell you it is so relaxing to see her little eyes stare up from time to time. Mommy could have stayed away all day if she wanted too and C.J. and I would have been fine with that.
During the day I explained to C.J. that I needed a lot of sleep because I had to preach today and my girl obliged her daddy and slept through the night, well most of it, I planned to get up at 5:30am and she got up at 4:00am but that was OK with me. She is working well with daddy and his ministry already, providing me with the time I need to prepare and the rest I need to function at 100% when I step behind that sacred desk.
On today we had to leave her because mommy wanted to come support daddy at church. It was our first time leaving her so we had to prepare everything to make sure all her needs where met when we were gone. Now she only stayed with her Auntie Brandie but still leaving her with anyone other than mommy means their are some directions and directives that must be followed. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be though. I told her to behave and mommy only spent maybe 6 minutes upstairs explaining things to Auntie before she came down to head to church.
As usual we end the day together as a family, ( I must add that we begin each day with prayer together too)C.J. running the show and daddy devising ways to get his #1 spot back. She is continuing to develop her little personality and I must admit she is shaping up to be a force to be reckoned with. She took a pic this weekend and she was all dolled up but made sure to clinch her fist when the picture was taken. I've told everyone that this means she will be a dainty girl but will let you have it if need be. My dad says she will be a tomboy but I don't think that. i think she will be very active and do it her way.
As usual remember to pray, becasue prayer changes things.
