Well we all know by now that mommy and C.J. have this night-time ritual that is repeated nightly. Well tonight, being the night before Thanksgiving, mommy wanted to get the house straight which meant that daddy was left to get C.J. to bed. Do not laugh at me but you all know that spells disaster from the start. Mommy and daddy just do things way differently.
So of course I did not change her clothes from what she had on. I chose not to giver her a bath. Going in the room and making it dark was not necessary for daddy and I did not lay her down on my chest. I laid her in her crib and turned the mobile on, that did not work. All I heard was giggling and when I looked in on her she had a huge grin on her face.
Next I brought her out of the room and put her in her chair. I thought she would rock herself to sleep but instead she started to get more and more excited while rocking herself. I said I will take a page out of mommy's book and decided to take her back in the room and sit in the dark.
C.J. I guess wanted to play around today because she started to kick and rock and grab and twist until I began to stare at her. The more stern the stare the it seems the brighter her smile got and the wider her eyes became. I guess mommy had enough because the next think I know she is standing over me laughing and taking her for a bath.
Now folks I know how to deal with kids, really I do. C.J. is just my little princes and she does get her way with daddy from time to time. I will have to work on this bedtime thing. Because if she stays up to late the next day will be hell for us all.
So I failed today. this is the first "F" I have received in a long time. So now I have to reassess what I do and come up with a new game plan. Funny thing is mommy failed too because C.J. is currently up making noise when she thought she was down, lol! You all pray for us now because prayer changes things!
