Today started at 6:00am for Daddy he needed to be up to shower and get dressed in order for him and CJ to make it out the house on time. CJ, as usual, slept through the entire act of her beings dressed, hair done, coat zipped and being carried to the car. She then proceeded to sleep all the way up north, where we had to go pick up her uncles to go see cousin Davon play his last game of the year. Yes it was chilly but Daddy made sure CJ was bundled up securely. Instead of eating what Daddy had prepared for her, CJ felt the need to eat what her Great-grandmother was eating, and as long as she fed her, CJ received with gladness.
At the football game CJ was very good. She cheered when she should and clapped at the proper time. She wanted to stretch her legs so she went with Ms. Nicole for a walk. While on her walk she found a leaf. When she showed it to Daddy, he said that she could color over it when she arrived home. No sooner than he closed his mouth CJ broke the leaf and tried to eat a piece of it. Needless to say, that was the end of the leaf and any plans on coloring it at home.
Now after a long morning and another game to go see in the evening one would thing CJ was tired and would go to sleep, right? Wrong, CJ outlasted her great-grandmother, her uncle, and her Pop. It was so bad that Pop said, "Daddy you have to watch her, I am going to get my hair cut." CJ still does not take naps when she is with her Daddy, or at least when she is supposed to.
CJ decided to nap once we got into the car for our trip to see TCNJ play Rider in an exhibition game. She slept all the way down the road, which left her a little dazed for the first half of the game. Boy did she come alive during the second half! CJ was cheering, dancing, clapping, and initiating conversation all around her. The lady behind us even gave her an empty water bottle to play with. Little did she know that when you engage in conversation with CJ that you're not done until she says so. She managed to stay focused on the game a bit too. You know Daddy loves that! At the end of the game CJ was able to meet a basketball player that always asks about her. CJ has seen her play twice at TCNJ but never a face-to-face meeting. Of course she tried to take the girl's phone but she said hello and goodbyes appropriately.
Today was a day well spent by CJ and Daddy. We had fun and enjoyed each other's company. We will have to do this more often. So folks pray more opportunities arise where CJ and Daddy hang out together, and in harmony too. We believe it will because prayer changes things, people, and situations!
