If you know Jamal T. Johnson you know that he is debonaire. He is very concerned about his appearance and will go out of his way to make sure his attire is top notch. With that said, everyone has mentioned to me that time would be scarce with a child. I would have to disagree for the most part. With all that I involve myself in, having C.J. has not put a dead halt to that.
I have found time for my nine to five, found time for my business development, God automatically makes his time available, even have had time to sit and chill with Shatema. I have had time for recreation and still the time is there for Mr. Johnson to be supportive of his many kids. Now all of this does come at a cost...I do not know what sleep is, and I refuse to depend on coffee to keep me going. Green tea has become my hot beverage of choice.
With all of this going on, most of my time is committed to C.J.'s development. As a father I want to make sure I am there for her mentally, socially, physically, emotionally, playfully, educationally and prayerfully, and anything else you can come up with. I believe that she will be a stronger WOMAN because of it. Now back to C.J. and Daddy's hair.
Now, I went bald because George Bush was President of the United States. I went out, bought a balding clipper and will usually bald my own head. Since C.J. was born I have not been able to do so because I do not want hair to get all over the place. I usually put some plastic down to be neat, but hair scatters and I want everything she uses to be clean. With that said I am considering going back to my Afro days as it is less maintenance than a bald head. Hold up I'm gonna do a poll on Facebook real quick. With my Afro I don't have to worry about getting hair all over the place when cutting it myself. I would have to get back to going to the barber once a week to keep it Steve Harvey tight but that is what I used to do anyway. I want to keep C.J. clean and sanitary so I might have to go that route.
So get this...C.J. is really beginning to use all of her limbs now. Her long legs are moving like she is Allyson Felix, Daddy's favorite runner. She is moving a lot now so we have to watch her closely so she does not fall. Now a fall will occur sooner or later. How we respond will be interesting. She had another good day at the sitter. Shatema told me that she talked to her on the phone. I really like the fact that the sitter interacts with her too. She is becoming more and more fascinating as the days go by. When she is up and running, watch out world. Daddy and C.J. are going to be on the move.
I am going to go now, so as always, remember to pray because prayer changes things!
