Ok, so C.J. and this belly time thing will not be easy. She has the spirit of her mother and father in her. Which in most cases would be a good thing but for this we have a struggle on our hands. Now we are taking things slowly but we want her to at least make attempts. Today the sitter said C.J. was not having any of that belly time. So when we arrived home Mommy (who would not be as nice about it) attempted and she had some success. With assistance, C.J rolled over a bit.
When Daddy got hungry we had to change spots so you know the time would be different. We had her on her activity mat and she pulls the toys from above so I moved them over to make her roll. BINGO!...we had some success. So much so that after a bit C.J. got comfortable on her side, stuck her thumb in her mouth and the next thing I knew, she was napping.
Even though Mommy and Daddy go about it two different ways we both are on the same page. We want C.J. to get the proper time she needs. So we both have made the decision to change the way we end the evening. We just want to make sure our Princess is getting all the attention she needs.
Today C.J. and I listened to Mommy sing. I will not tell you how C. J. frowned a few times when her mother sang. The funny thing was that she was singing, Giving You The Best That I Got by Anita Baker. Clearly C.J. and Daddy did not share that sentiment. We even chuckled a bit to some of her riffs and octave jumps. Mommy does her best but she should let Daddy handle the singing obligations for now. We love her nonetheless though.
So I will let you go for now. I just ask that you remember to pray because prayer changes things.
NOTE TO C.J.: Today in history there was a catastrophic tragedy in the country of Haiti. A 7.0 earthquake hit and sent chaos throughout the city. Your daddy knows a lot of Haitians and has a lot of Haitian students. When you pray at night always remember that we are all brothers and sisters and to always pray for peace around the world. Haiti will never be the same. Even today it is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. When you go to school learn about the true history of the country. The real stuff will not always be in the textbooks you learn from but no one can hide the truth from you...go out and search for the truth.
