Please forgive me for missing last night. I was just not in the writing mood. Praise God I am here today though! So today I realized something that I should have known for a long time. I realized that C.J. loves to smile. It makes me happy to see her gums when she turns her head when she hears me walk in a room and gets giddy.
She also smiles at other times during the day. No matter what time she wakes up, whether it is 5:30am, 9:00am or in the middle of the afternoon after a nap, she smiles. She also smiles when I bathe her and when she splashes the water in her tub. Another time she smiles is when we play on her activity mat. She rolls, grabs at the objects and wiggles all around all while smiling from cheek to cheek.
Her smile carries me through the day. It does help that I have her smile plastered all over my office. Even when I am not in the office when I see that smile it gets me through the day. The funny thing is how C.J. can turn that smile into a drooped lip quickly. Daddy and Mommy have determined that she is faking when she does that. Daddy still falls for it, whereas Mommy is a lot more tough. Sometimes I have caught her look back at her Mommy when Daddy responds and gives her a sneaky grin of comfort.
As of right now C.J. is asleep so there is no smile. Just a thumb in her mouth I guess to soothe her as she sleeps. Three pacifiers and she chooses the thumb. I guess it is good and tasty. With it being 10:22pm I need to have my thumb in my mouth sleeping too. So you all remember to pray and keep me in your prayers too. We know that prayer changes things and it changes people.
