Ok, so I did not get up with her at 3:18am. I knew she woke up but once I opened my eye and saw that Mommy had her I rolled back over and then dozed back off. I guess subconsciously, I said, "No need for us both to lose sleep." So this morning I woke up around 8:00am, which is good for me. Daddy decided to take vacation early and he wants to get as much rest as he possibly can.
So the good thing about the morning is that CJ gets up on Daddy type time. So when I wiped the cold out my eye, (OK that was a shameless Biggie plug, I saw the movie Notorious for the umpteenth time the other night) I looked up and my girl was standing up waiting to get out the crib. So I picked her up and brought her into the living room with me. I then figured since we were up we might as well eat and prepared us both breakfast. CJ had oatmeal and Daddy had Fruity Pebbles and toast. In keeping with Daddy's mode of being home next it was bath time for CJ. Even though Thursday is usually our bath day but their was no problem with us doing things a day early. Since Daddy is home now CJ might develop a slightly different pattern. It will be Daddy trying to help out.
What Daddy and CJ have to work out is the TV schedule. Daddy usually watched Maury when he is home. The problem is that CJ needs to watch educational television to help with her development. Daddy is all for it but now he has to watch Maury some other way. Or he can set her up on the computer and he can take the television. What I think might be best is that we find some family television or some life skills like shows, i.e., cooking or home repair that will be beneficial to us both. Daddy was even thinking about using that time to talk with CJ and read to her. (Ok, the reading thing might be quick though, music might be better for us)
So now the day is done and night time is upon us. CJ is sleeping and daddy is soon to join her. We have a long day tomorrow, so I want to make sure we are well rested. So as always you all keep praying. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.
