I am back! OK folks Mommy did it, she put me in a reflective mode when she text to inform me that she was telling CJ about how she should not fall for the tricks that her Daddy use to play. I responded to her and told her to make sure that CJ took in the lesson. I support Mommy's effort because if she begins to instill these golden nuggets in her now she will have them to refer to when she needs them. Once Mommy drew my attention back to my college antics I decided to listen to music from 112 all night. (Love You Like I Did, Sweet Love, Nowhere, Crazy Over You, All My Love and my All time favorite, the one Mommy told CJ I used to woo girls, Cupid)
So now to CJ, today she did not want Mommy to get a word in edge wise. Mommy and I were talking business and CJ decided that she was going to interrupt Mommy every chance she got. Eventually I decided to speak to CJ, I would say, "Hello CJ" she said nothing. When I began to speak to Mommy again she decided to open her mouth. I asked Mommy to relay a message. The message was to CJ, "Daddy is going to kick your butt for making all that noise while he was speaking to Mommy!" So I have to remember to have a talking to with her when I get home Thursday night. She will probably get off because as soon as I see her face after not seeing her but only hearing her for a week I will soften up like Fluff instantly.
So after listening to 112 and already arranging the Playlist for when I go upstairs and tomorrow. I began to think about how I have changed. College changed me, marriage changed me, and now being a father has continued to help me change into the man i am suppose to be. As I listened to these sings they highlight a chapter of my life which helped to lay a foundation. Now I never want CJ to be listening to the songs the same way I did, lol! For real though, I am glad that I went through what Mommy explained to CJ tonight, it has equipped me to be able to deal with what she will go through one day. I will no how to help when she might need advice on how to deal with guys or when she ,(I can not believe I am saying this) says she is in love. Just being able to recall this chapter will enable me to help her the best I can. I still may remind her of my friends Smith and Wesson who can be called upon at all times but I will help her to develop a love of herself that she will be able to stand strong through anything.
As I always tell people I take full advantage of the relationship we have now where she loves the hell out of me because I know her little emotions will get the best of her one day and she will lean on Mommy a bit more. However CJ will know that Daddy is always there in her corner, in front of her and in back of her and will never throw in the towel! So continue to pray for our development as Father and Daughter. we are growing and through prayer we know we will get it straight. prayer changes things, people and situations!
