Cranky CJ

Daddy has been out of college for ten years. In those ten years he is now a husband and someone's father. Who would have ever thought this would be where he would be? Today the college had a reuinon for Daddy's class and he took CJ along with him for the festivities. The day began really slow. Daddy wanted to get up early but just could not roll out of bed. Then there was getting CJ to her Uncle Duke. He agreed to watch her until Daddy was finished down at the church. Of course CJ cried when Daddy left, but Daddy used Mommy's technique today and informed CJ that he was leaving but would be back for her. The report was that she only cried for ten minutes.

So fast forward three hours and CJ and Daddy are on the campus of The College of New Jersey. CJ slept the entire ride down, and when she first encountered people, was very cranky. One of Daddy's best friends said that CJ was acting like her mother. Daddy chuckeld and CJ did not bat an eye. She also wanted to play the, "I want out of the stroller but I do not wish to walk" game. Daddy quickly put an end to that and strapped her in and provided a cookie as an incentive, lol. As the day went on CJ warmed up a little. She met a few more of Daddy's students. One of them made her cry loudly. I do not know why she cried but she did, lol.

We ended the day by picking up some things from Daddy's office and heading home. Daddy enjoyed CJ's company today and wants more like it. Spending quality time with each other is a great way to strengthen a bond. SO that is what you all need to pray for. Pray that whatever situations prevent CJ and Daddy from having these type of days lessen. Prayer changes things, peoeple, and situations.
