This morning was a little different than most mornings. Daddy woke up later than usual. Mommy decided not to go to work. C.J. did not go to the baby sitter. Was something strange? No, things were just altered a bit. Daddy had a fair to work in Perth Amboy. Unfortunately, he had to return to Trenton as well. Today Mommy also needed to be at a very important meeting. So Daddy was going to leave the fair early, go back to Trenton, leave his normal time, and get Mommy where she needed to be. Things changed once Daddy's job became demanding. The plan was set but too many variables surfaced. Praise God that things ended up how they were to be but just a little bit altered.
So the day left Mommy with C.J. Every time I called I heard my girl making all the noise she could. I asked Mommy if she slept and she told me no. When I came home Mommy told me that C.J.'s tooth finally broke through the gums. It is a happy day for us because we have been waiting on that tooth for months now. Soon C.J. will be using that tooth for munching.
So the evening left Daddy and C.J. home together. Daddy had a rough day at work so he wanted to relax. On her way out the door Mommy looked at both of us and instructed Daddy to have C.J. bathed and in bed by the time she returned. At this point that is a check! So Daddy got down on the floor with his girl and laid down for a bit. She rolled and scooted all over. Daddy then pulled her close to him to keep an eye on her and began playing a video game. C.J. watched for a while but then started to scoot. By the end of the game I looked over and she was asleep. So I gently picked her up, bathed her, prayed with her, then put her to bed. She was asleep within seconds. I guess she was tired from being awake and active all day long.
So Daddy had a minute to unwind from his hectic day. His Princess is sleeping and the Queen is out checking the foundation of the kingdom. Daddy is sitting here just trying to make sense of it all. It's a good thing today though. Just taking it down slowly. So now that I have soaked in all the quiet time, I remind you to pray. Prayer changes things, people, and situations!
