Today we were able to arrive home earlier than normal. Daddy did not have to go down to Trenton so he was able to pick up C.J. and Mommy as soon as Mommy was done at work. When I arrived at the babysitter's I found C.J. playing on the floor. I must say, when I arrive in a room and she looks up and is smiling from ear to ear, my heart melts. That is exactly what she did today. She looked up and our eyes connected. That moment is so powerful for this growing Dad.
So we came directly home today, no stops. When we were all settled, Mommy took a nap. Daddy prepared C.J. a bottle and gave it to her. She nestled in between Mommy's legs, finished the bottle and the next thing I knew, she had dozed off. While they slept Daddy played a video game. Mommy suddenly woke up, but C.J. beat her in rolling over. So once C.J. was up Daddy decided to play with her on the floor. The only problem was that she was enthused with his cell phone. So much so that she fell down trying to get it from him. OK, Daddy was trying to maneuver C.J. and the phone while it was charging, and he let her slide down his leg. She was not harmed and did not cry. Months ago Daddy bought C.J. a cell phone so he looked for that and gave it to her. It entertained her for a moment but it was his $500 phone that she wanted...to put in her mouth, to drop, and to develop her tactile development. However Daddy was not having it. I believe that she is fascinated by the lights so I am on a quest to find her one that lights up.
So prayer is still working and I will always advocate for it. So continue communicating with God. Your life will be much better by doing so. Prayer changes things, people and situations.
NOTE TO C.J.: This is a random one but something I want you to keep in your back pocket. When you want things done right, sometimes you will need to do them yourself. You're the best! Love Daddy!
