She Wants Her Mommy

Mommy stayed home. Daddy took CJ to the sitter. They both wanted to stay home.

Busy

Daddy had to work and CJ was not happy. This is the first night of many. When Daddy came home CJ was sleep. Daddy prays she understands wjy he must work so much.

Tired

The week starts us with Daddy having no energy. CJ stayed up too late. Lets see how this goes.

Daddy the Slacker

So today is Friday. We made it through this hectic week by the grace of God. In the beginning we did not have a babysitter but God had a ram in the bush for us. When we dropped the former sitter off CJ began to cry hysterically. Both Daddy and Mommy were prepared for this and we knew she would need to be consoled. CJ was in "Hog heaven" this week. She was able to sleep late and she was with "Fucy" and she calls her. I think they both enjoyed each others company and we wish things could be the way this week went all the time. However we looked to next week when we will try to re-acclimate CJ with the new sitter.

Daddy has slacked because he came home and went to sleep early each night. Daddy's body spoke to hi and he had to take his health into consideration. The longs days and nights, the drive and having to study and do work at home got to him and he needed rest. It is ll for a good cause and reason though. Lets pray that daddy continues to give his body rest!

Cj things will be OK. Daddy never wants to see your feelings hurt. I know you really enjoyed this week and you will see "Fucy" again.

The Babysitter Situation

So we needed to switch babysitters, remember? We have not been a month in and we already were confronted with a situation. The new sitter needed a week off. No problem, yeah right that is the case when you have a replacement. A replacement we do not have. So what are we suppose to do? Mommy thought to see if we could get help from the former sitter and she came through.

Tired

Today was a long day. Daddy never got the burst of energy he needed to be get everything done. His body is telling him to slow down and he has to find a way to listen. Daddy just finished helping Mommy prepare for the babysitter tomorrow. We all must make sure we do not get to comfortable with an in house sitter. It is a great concept and so helpful but we know it can not be the reality at this time.

Daddy and Mommy are still trying to fix CJ's mouth. She is using the word shut up a bit too much for he parents and Daddy and Mommy are putting her in check. CJ asked for pizza for dinner and Daddy of course obliged. We have a long way to go with CJ and we are making it our business to build a strong foundation. yes she will not like our responses at times and she will cry and pout but our values and beliefs are too important to waver on.

So you all pray for CJ's development and her fixing her mouth. daddy is tired and is about to lay down now.

A Long Ride

Daddy and CJ enjoyed a long car ride todat. They attended the first birthday party for Marlee. cJ enjoyed herself in the bouncy. Was interested in the clown, and talked to everyone. She is such a talkative child, and social. She even went to sleep without fuss. Early and long day tomorrow. Pray for us.

Another Long Day

Well CJ had a decent day at the babysitter. Daddy had another football game, East Orange blew out Columbia 48-0. When Daddy arrived home both Mommy and CJ were knocked out. Daddy will soon join them.

Long Day

We had a long day. CJ did get her hair done so we are all happy. Not much for tonight we are all sleepy.

Back

CJ was back to the sitter and is almost back to 100%.

Recovery

Today was not the normal Monday. CJ remained asleep while her Daddy and Mommy left this morning. Her grandmother was kind enough to come and babysit while daddy went to work for half the day. Once Daddy arrived home Cj and chilled in his arms. Daddy held conversations and Cj was right there. That remained the situation until Mommy came home. We then all prepared to go to the doctor where he helped us on the road to recovery. We changed her prescription and he prescribed a nebulizer machine to help with the congestion. Already we see a difference and I am glad than my Princess is not in so much pain. It hurt Daddy to watch her cough and hurt and he could do nothing to soothe her or ease her pain. Daddy told CJ that he needed her to be back at 100% because this 50and 60% was not cool at all and she was not fun. So we pray God continues to bless her with good health and that she is back to her normal self real soon.

Still Fighting

Today Daddy missed Sunday worship because CJ is still battling her sickness. When she woke up this morning she had some spunk but the fever still was around. So Daddy made his calls to alert folks of his absence and then sat and held CJ. Mommy went to CVS to get CJ something to help her take the antibiotic. It worked and things began to look good.

Daddy was able to get to see one of his friends deliver the word of God this afternoon. He continued to check in on CJ. Mommy kept him updated and her progress did seem to continue to get better. When Daddy came home CJ was sleep and Daddy discussed the plan for tomorrow. Daddy and Mommy both believe that CJ staying home would be best. Daddy is hoping that the doctor changes the medicine because it seems to upset CJ's tummy. Daddy prays that God removed the fever from her little body.

CJ's Grandma will be with her tomorrow until Daddy returns from work. He has two meetings that he must attend and Mommy has to go to work. We are thankful that Grandma is available to help us out. Daddy just feels better with family assisting with this type of sickness. Keep praying for CJ folks!

Fighting

CJ is still sick but this little girl is fighting. The medicine is making her stomach upset and Mommy has cleaned up more vomit than ever today. Daddy was the bath guy. CJ is eating a little more and drinking water perodically. Neither Mommy or Daddy is happy witb CJ being sick but CJ is not letting it get her down at all. She even managed to get a timeout today too. We are praying for her recovery, pray with us.

Pneumonia

The last place Daddy wanted to spend half of his day was in an emergency room. CJ's health had different plans. When Daddy began to dress CJ this morning her took her temperature and discovered her fever still lingered. That along with the cough she had meant Daddy needed to stay home today. The only thing to figure out was when he would take CJ to the emergency room since the doctor could not see her until Monday. He decided on taking her right after he dropped Mommy off at work. CJ behaved well too. She cooperated with the intake people and was cool in the waiting room. Daddy found out that she is exactly three feet tall today too. CJ got to put on a hospital gown, ride a hospital bed, get x-rays, and she received cookies from her nurse. CJ's blood work came back good and she received antibiotics for the little bit of pneumonia they saw.

CJ was able to come home and after vomiting and taking a bath CJ was done for the day and laid down on the living room floor. CJ never gave in though, she is fighting this tooth and nail until the finish. Daddy is proud of her and hope she gets better real soon.

11:18pm

So CJ walked into the living room at 10:20pm. Really? Yes she did and now she will not go to sleep. OMG.

Fever

Once Daddy arrived back from his meeting and we all came home we discovered that CJ had a slight fever. After Daddy ran back out to CVS and Mommy bathed her we hope she gets better. Only problem is that when Mommy laid her down CJ found the open lotion Daddy left out. She looked like a monster when Mommy asked Daddy to come in and see what she had done. All Daddy could do was laugh at his Princess, what will we do with CJ?

What Is Labor Day?

Well on the way back from the mountains Daddy received a call from his Daddy. The question posed was why we did not call CJ this morning? Daddy's answer was because he would not have but Mommy answered that she slept late. In any event it was Labor Day, right? Well no because daddy rested only a little bit. Daddy is the number one proponent in ending this ridiculous holiday. The fact of the matter is that, a Monday off to Daddy is wasted because on Tuesday you have to go back to work. Daddy proposes that we now make Labor Day a Friday. This way at least you do not have to wake up the next morning for work. I wonder how far that thought would go.

CJ was glad to see us when we arrived. She enjoyed her time with her grandparents and cousins. Her great-grandmother even says, that we do not have to worry about her defending herself because she did that well in dealing with her big cousin Briyanna!
CJ is a tough cookie, feisty when she wants to be as well. Daddy and Mommy are getting her in check though.

She went to sleep rather quietly tonight, Daddy guesses she was tired. It is back to our normal routine full on tomorrow. Let us see how things go. Let us also pray that CJ is a little more adjusted with the new sitter.

CJ Bounced

Today Daddy and Mommy attended a wedding out of town. This meant that CJ had to stay with Grandma. When we dropped her off Mommy said goodbye and CJ was off. CJ did not even look back. Now Daddy is glad she did not cry, but she could have at least recognized Daddy and Mommy were leaving. Oh well, Daddy had a blast at the wedding and he hopes CJ did as well.

9-3-11

We stayed home most of the day. Lazy and eating. Not a good thing.

Not A Good Morning

Cj did not have a good morning. She cried when we dropped her off today. When we picked her up she was a little better but CJ is clearly missing her Mommy. The time they spent together this summer meant a lot to her and now her routine is changing drastically and CJ is not taking it well.

On the way home she did tell bothe Mommy and Daddy that she like the new sitter which is a good thing. Daddy just prays that her comfort level continues to grow. That would make all of our days easier to cope with. As Daddy left out for a football game tonight he told CJ he loved her and CJ told him she loved him back. As Daddy keeps saying, "CJ is his partner!"
