Today Operation: Daddy stay home was in full swing and I will give myself an A. Toward the end of last year I realized I ran around too much on the weekends and wanted to spend more time at home with my leading ladies. I made a pact with myself that on weekends the bulk of the day will be spent with them. So this morning I remained in bed until I was physically tired of laying there. I got out of bed and prepared my breakfast then relaxed some more. Usually I am up so early I bypass breakfast and keep it moving. (Which I know is wrong for me to do especially with my health condition.)
No, today was different folks and I must say I enjoyed every bit of it. Early in the week Mommy expressed to me that she wanted to clean the house, that is when I came up with the perfect plan. To give Mommy a break from the hustle and bustle of motherhood, changing diapers, cleaning bottles and aiding C.J. when she needs to be tended to, I decided to take C.J. to her first basketball game. You got it folks Daddy and C.J. were going to hang out and have fun!
Once we arrived to the games C.J. was so good. She sat still, was not fussy, only needed to eat once and the best thing of all she did not need to be changed. If you all could have seen how focused she was watching the games. I mean her eyes were fixed in on the players. When she got excited it seemed to be at the right moments. Two of my kids (students) came by the game to meet C.J. for the first time. She smiled and giggled and even talked to them for a minute. The funny thing was that when the action started back up my girl placed her attention back on the court. So her first basketball experience was good. She saw a girls' game and a boys' game. The best part of it all was that Daddy's school won both games!
So a lot of firsts today. Daddy and C.J. shared their first basketball game. C.J. visited TCNJ for the first time. C.J. met two of her older sisters, Angelika and Shakia; and Daddy and CJ allowed Mommy to have a day off. (Hopefully when we do this again Mommy will be able to go out and pamper herself or have some fun of her own. As long as she does not spend all of Daddy's money, lol! I wrote this because I know Mommy will read this) So I had a GREAT day today and now I must get some rest. Have an early rise in the morning. You all remember to pray because prayer changes things.
NOTE TO C.J.: Today was only the beginning of us hanging out and having fun together. As long as you are a well behaved little girl and respectful of yourself and others Daddy will have no problem treating you like the Princess you are. Our bond is a tight one that only we will understand. We will be the greatest Father/Daughter combo the world has ever seen!!!
