Mommy's Five Minutes

When Daddy left home CJ was just getting up. He had to go to work so he could not interact with her much. When he arrived home he saw the remnants of her day. Earlier in the evening Daddy asked Mommy who she felt won the first day off battle and she proudly proclaimed that she did. By the looks of it, this battle got ugly.

Daddy did not come home until after CJ's bedtime. We all know that if Daddy had the week off she would be allowed to stay up as late as she wanted to. Mommy sees things a little differently. We work with her since she works so hard. So Daddy decided to sit and wrap with Mommy since his Princess was out for the night. Actually I have to go and look in on her, that is not like Daddy to have gone this long without doing so.

So folks I'm off to checkon my Princess. You all keep praying. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Almost Back to Normal

CJ and Mommy are both back. Today Daddy had to work and then tend to some family business. So by the time he arrived home he was able to see CJ awake for exactly a minute. Until proven otherwise, Daddy will believe that CJ waited up for him to come home. I gave her a kiss then laid her back down so she could get some sleep. Mommy informed me that she stayed up late last night so I did not want to make tonight night two.

SO Cj is sleeping and Daddy is still praising God for the blessings he send his way. When Daddy sees no way God make a way and he deserves both Daddy and CJ's praise. With our hands lifted up and our mouths filled with praise, with hearts of Thanksgiving, I will bless the oh Lord.

You all continue to pray. Prayer still changes things, people, and situations.

Home Alone

It is a Friday night. We went out to diner to celebrate CJ's Pop Pop's birthday. Diner was delicious and now Daddy is home. The only problem is that their is no sound of a baby. CJ is not up and roaming. CJ is not even sleeping peacefully in her crib. CJ is not here nor is her Mommy. Most guys would be overjoyed and head out to the club with the guys or to the bar. Not this Daddy, he would rather have his Princess and the Queen of the house here with him. The heat does not seem hot enough. The bed will not feel comfortable enough. The pillow will not be plump enough, and I will not know what to do with myself when I wake up and have no one to look over too or kiss good bye. For Daddy this is the first time he is not with CJ at night and he is home. So what to do, the only thing he can do is deal with it.

So I wonder if CJ realizes Daddy is not with her?
I wonder if she realizes she is not at home?
I wonder is she was sad when I left?
I wonder if she will misses me period.
I wonder if she will miss me kissing and hugging her when she wakes up?
I wonder if she will miss me from hanging out with her on Saturday morning?
I wonder if she is sad because she wants her Daddy?

Daddy has a lot of wonders. The one thing I do not have to wonder about is that wherever we are CJ loves her Daddy and Daddy loves his Princess CJ.

So now I will try to go to sleep without the comforts of my wife and without the snoring from my daughter. Though both loud they bring satisfaction to the end of a day. So you all pray Daddy gets some sleep. Prayer changes things, people, and situation and will get Daddy through the night.

NOTE TO CJ: Even though this may be the first time you are away from your Daddy I want you to know that your Daddy misses you anytime we are not together. From the moment you get dropped off at the baby sitter he begins to feel empty. You are part of the gasoline that helps him to run smoothly. I love you and miss you tonight!

The Reason Why

So we found out why CJ is not eating diner. The babysitter provides add ons to what Mommy sends for lunch. Not a bad thing, CJ likes to eat and will try a lot of different things. Daddy was a little worried thay she did not like his cooking. If she did not eat what he cooked she might get slim waiting on her Mommy to cook.

Tonight was Daddy bath night for the first time in a while. CJ is a lot more cooperative these days which makes it quick and easy. She fought her sleep a little longer than usual but Daddy doesn't mind that at all.

CJ did make it to Mommy's school for the Cth gtade Halloween Party. She dressed as a pirate and was a cute pirate too. She did not stay to long though, the noise and abundance of high octane teens was a bit much for her.

She is now sleep and resting up for her reign of terror to come prayerfully tomorrow. Keep praying folks, prayer changes things, people, and situations.

A Brief Encounter

Today was not a full one for CJ and Daddy. The most interaction we had was when I picked her up from the baby sitter she ignored me for a a good while because she was eating Lucky Charms. She kindly made me wait until she was done and when she was she told everyone bye bye and proceeded to the door. Being the adult in the situation when she hit the door I followed her out.

Daddy had to work tonight so he was not home to hang out with CJ. When I arrived home she was asleep along with her Mommy. So as for Daddy he finished up what he needed to complete and will soon be off to sleep himself. Before I do I will pray and I remind you all to join me as well. prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Quick Update

Real quick, Daddy is investigating the reasons why Cj might be uncomfortable in her car seat. She scream bloody murder when she is in there as of late. This is also the second day in a row that CJ chooses to only eat vegetables for dinner, when she has other options. Have I created a future vegetarian? Who knows, welp that is all today. Keep praying folks a breakthrough is on the way. prayer changes things, people, and situations!

Up To No Good

CJ is becoming more and more exploratory as the days come and go. The problem is that she likes to explore anything that can be deemed hazardous to her health or can cause breaks, bumps and bruises to her body. She seems to get her kicks from roaming the house and looking for things to get into. You know she is up to no good when you do not hear her. However, make no mistake about it, CJ is not one to be shy about what she is doing.

On the ride home today CJ was making a lot of noise for no good reason. She was not hurt in any way. She was not wet and she was not hungry. So Daddy needed to figure out what would shut his kid up. Then it came to him, turn on the radio. When the music came on, almost instantly CJ smiled and began to bounce up and down in her car seat to the beat. Then Jill Scott's Cross My Mind came on so Daddy felt like scatting a little bit. So he sung, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah! Usually the car is silent but today CJ decided that she would follow her Daddy up and sung out loud, yeah yea yeah yeah yeah! Mommy and Daddy both looked up and smiled. Daddy did it again and CJ followed him up again. I know I do not need to say it but Daddy was all smiles. As he told Mommy he is soaking it all up while he can and while CJ loves everything about him. He also notes that a day will come when she will not really feel all he says.

She went to sleep rather quickly tonight, I guess she had a long day. So as Daddy watches the Giants play Dallas and wrestling simultaneously you all remember to pray before you call it a night. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.
