Take A Nap

So today was an impromptu day all around. What Daddy believed would simply be a day he could sleep in and have one conference call meeting today turned to something a bit different. Even though we made an appointment we were still back and forth on whether or not we would take CJ to the doctor. However when CJ woke up literally with her eyes glued shut with mucus we knew we would need to go. That appointment was at 9:15am this morning. So while we were out Daddy figured we should go ahead and start our day. CJ and Daddy dropped Mommy off at her mother's and then continued up north.

When we arrived up north of course CJ started to cry when we arrived to the yellow house. Why she still does this is a bit annoying but she gets over it. When we arrived to East Orange today we were met with a picture Daddy never thought he would see in the hood. There was a goose perched in someone's yard. Daddy was so surprised that he took a picture of it. That goose hung on the block all day long. CJ was too busy crying to really understand what was going on. From there Daddy made a senseless trip to the bank. For some reason it was closed and of course Daddy had limited funds and the gas light came on, lol. Daddy handled the problem of course and then it was back to the house.

Daddy had his meeting and then Daddy and CJ enjoyed lunch. CJ was at her best today. She delighted in throwing a plastic vase of Christmas balls all over the place. She then wanted to play with the computer and press every button on the the printer. Everyone would tell her to stop but she would get tickled by trying to sneak and touch it when she thought no one was looking. She continued by sticking her hand in the cake batter her great-grandmother was baking. Then when the cake was done and cooling we noticed two finger holes in the cake. Low and behold the girls had gotten into the cake.

The problem of the day was that though tired, CJ would not take a nap. Daddy held her and she would not go to sleep. CJ would get her blanket and lay it out but then snatch it up and keep running through the house. Even Breezie trying to be nice could not get CJ to lay down. She did manage to keep her in the room watching television so I guess that was an accomplishment. When we left from up north CJ went to sleep as soon as we pulled off. Daddy figured that. Daddy and CJ had a great time today even though it was not planned but those are the best times anyway. Times when things just happen. Hopefully CJ is back to 100% soon. You all keep praying. Prayer changes things, people, and situations!

Another Doctor

When CJ woke up this morning her eye was full of cold. Mommy called the doctor but he is out. She got a reccomendation from a coworker so we will try that tomorrow. Pray for us, prayer changes things, people, and situations.

In The Middle Of The Night

Today's action occurred early this morning at about three something. CJ woke up restless and could not go to sleep. When Daddy went to pick her up and comfort her she was pretty hot. Mommy attempted to take her temperature rectally but CJ was not having it. Daddy recommended trying the under arm but she did not allow that to happen either. She kicked and screamed as we tried to give her some medicine, eventually we administered what she needed.

Daddy kept her in the bed with him for the rest of the night and she balled up under him and finally went to sleep. Needless to say this morning was rough for Daddy and CJ. We need to be out the house by 6:30am and it was after 7:00am when we left today. Thankfully CJ did not get sick and MOmmy is getting better. Daddy missed a moment tonight, CJ reading looking like her Mommy. She tried to get it on camera but things did not work out. As long as she was imitating reading, Daddy is satisfied for the time being. Keep praying for us, we have a few problems right now and we know prayer changes things, people, and situations.

MIni-Session

Today CJ and Daddy had an impromptu mini-session. Mommy needed to go get her hair done so that meant that Daddy and CJ would be alone for a few hours. Usually that means fun for Daddy but today CJ just wanted to be clingy. Today was the first day I saw her pay more attention to Daddy than the television. So Daddy held her and made her feel comfortable. They researched some stuff online and then listened to music of course.

The time together was appreciated and needed. Anytime Daddy and CJ can be together is a great thing. Daddy really desires for the father/daughter relationship to be strong. So he does not mind spending quality time with CJ.

So keep praying for us! Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Memorial Day 2011

Well today CJ and Daddy celebrated Labor Day a few months early. Since we were intelligent and had our barbecue yesterday we were able to stay home and relax today. This was something we both needed, too. CJ and Daddy live life going all the time. Going to work, going to the sitter, going to meetings, going to outings and many other goings. So when a day comes that we can do absolutely nothing we grab hold of it. Today we woke up late, praise be to God, watched all our favorite television shows, we ate snacks, listened to music, we got a little bit of reading in, and lounged all day! At the end of the day we do not even know what to do with ourselves. CJ is quiet but now fighting her sleep. Daddy is well rested and ready to hit the bed, and Mommy is trying to fight some sort of sickness that CJ and Daddy both pray we do not get.

At 10:12pm CJ is still up. She is very delirious but still will not give in. This was a very memorable day. We remembered those who fought for our freedom and we remembered to take some time to ourselves. Praise God for relaxation. You all continue to lift CJ and Daddy in prayer. We have a long road of ups and downs ahead but we know the rainbows will out number the clouds. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

BBQ on Memorial Day

Today was an action packed day for CJ during the BBQ after church. The HOly Spirit worked through Daddy but today CJ fell asleep. After worship today the family cooked out on the grill. CJ decided that today she would be a walking terror. CJ had a ball. She went throughout the house in search of anything that looked like it could a beverage. She took cups of water, cans of soda, and even her cousins cup. She drank what was left and in some cases poured out onto the floors the contents. At one point CJ had a cup with a little water in it. She decided that she wanted to splash her uncle King Duke with water. So she lunged at him unexpectedly and she got him. All he could do was laugh as CJ sprawled on the floor cracking herself up. He could not do anything but laugh too.

CJ was so tired from all her activity that she fell asleep in the car during the ride home. Not to worry though, she woke up as soon as Daddy put the car in park. She continued to wear herself down until it was bath time. She went to bed without much fuss tonight. Daddy enjoys watching CJ be a inquisitive menace. She is not bad but explorative and wants to get into any and everything she can. Daddy finds it cute! This evening Daddy watched "My Family Wedding" tomorrow he will critique during the day because the father daughter relationship in the wedding taught him something that he wants to ponder. So as you pray keep Daddy and CJ's relationship in mind. Prayer changes, things, people, and situations.
