Lazy, Lazy, Lazy!!!

During the day Mommy and Daddy both have the responsibility of motivating students...Mommy at the middle school level and Daddy, believe it or not, at the collegiate level. (Yes, they still need it!) So it would be safe to say that we are veterans in the field. So now that our little Princess needs motivation we are both searching our archives to see what will work best.

Now I know you are sitting there saying, "What are they doing to that poor little girl?" I will tell you. We are simply helping her become independent. The normal things that people want their babies to do. Roll from front to back, hold her bottle, and sit by themselves while Mommy and Daddy eat dinner. Now if she wants to excel she can start cleaning her own poop too, lol!

Daddy is trying not to push his Princess too hard. He would love to see her walking so they can go outside and run and shoot hoops when the weather breaks. Calm down folks he understands it all takes time. The one thing we do not not want is for C.J. to get lazy. At times she seems to know what she is doing when she drops her bottle or refuses to sit in her chair without whining or fussing. Daddy tries to be stern but when she drops that lip, all bets are off.

Daddy has vowed to be a little more persistent when it comes to making her hold her bottle. Also, when she needs tummy time he will make sure she is down there for a good amount of time, crying or not. I know that if I do not want her to be lazy I have to be a little more tough with her. She is a delicate Princess but if she ever is to be a Queen she needs some toughness.

So you all continue to pray for us. One that Daddy does not get too tough. Also that C.J. will begin to be more independent. Finally that together they will continue to be a great dynamic duo. Now we know that prayer changes things and people.
