Weekday at Grandma's

So today ended up being a twofer for CJ. It was a rare day where she saw and got to spend time with both of her grandmothers. Due to work schedules, church, distance, and life in general this opportunity does not always present itself. Today was different. Since CJ's mommy is not a hairstylist CJ's hair over the break has been a bit untamed. Since she was going out in public Mommy asked Daddy to see if his mom would agree to do it. Of course she said yes. So this morning we woke up, got dressed and headed out to East Orange for the first grandma meeting of the day. We had breakfast, CJ played, and then it was time to get the hair done. CJ saw the comb and like clockwork she began to cry. I do not know if she is tender headed or just like every other little girl in the world hates having her hair messed with. Well after a million tears her head looked liked we loved her and she was off and running to play with her cousins. Now CJ learned today that she needs to get her weight up. She was trying to keep up with the other kids but got knocked down. She cried a little but never dropped the waffle she was eating.

So after CJ got herself all dolled up it was off to Grandma's house again, this time to Roselle. Since CJ was not around on Christmas her grandmother insisted on seeing her. As soon as we walked in the door CJ was given her presents. A learning cell phone (Now she might leave mine alone) pajamas a buggy and a toilet. You heard it right folks, CJ will begin to use a toilet tomorrow. We figured why not get her used to sitting on it at least. Now you know no trip to the grandparents house is complete without CJ being given junk food. At least today it was an oatmeal cookie. CJ roamed about and touched every remote and all the other electronic devices she could. She even wanted to see the dog today so her Pop Pop brought her to the door to see Cocoa the pet Pitbull (Daddy doesn't approve but he does not want CJ to feel the same way he feels about dogs so he rolls with it). CJ played and played and roamed and roamed until she did not know what to do with herself. She did not even take a nap today.

Once we got in the car CJ went to sleep eventually. She had a very long day but she had a whole lot of fun. She is now sleeping on the living room floor as the house warms up a little bit. Keep the prayers going up, 2010 was an interesting year for both CJ and Daddy we both have matured because of prayer so do us that favor. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.
