Another Day in The Life of C.J.

So here we are, another day has gone by for C.J. As I type I listen to Mommy scold her for splashing a lot of water on her while she is being bathe. It is just what C.J. does. When she sees that water her eyes light up and we know what is about to happen.

A day is pretty long for C.J. She wakes up at 5:45am. She has to get dressed and fed. Then it is off to Ma Lucy's for the day. It seems like she makes up for her early rise by sleeping for long periods of time, which always alarms me because we want to make sure she sleeps at night too.

Another interesting part of her day is the car ride. When C.J. was born I lost my trusty co-pilot. Mommy would hold my juice, pass me the toll money and read signs so I could focus. These days Mommy rides in the back seat and it is pretty hard for her to do all she used to while holding a bottle. C.J. chooses when she wants to cooperate back there too. Most of the time she is sleeping but when she decides to ride while awake her presence is always felt.

So when her day comes to an end it is always with a bath, prayers and reading. Recently we have begun just to put her in her crib and she plays, laughs and scoots herself to sleep. What she does during the night I could not tell you because C.J. allows Daddy to get a full night of sleep. The one thing that is evident is that she does twist and turn because she never is found in the same position or area of the crib that she was laid. Hey, as long as she is comfortable, I am good!

As we head to bed, you all continue to pray. For we all know that prayer changes things and people!
