The Last One

This is the last Sunday night that Daddy had to leave CJ. Cj did not care for it nor did Daddy. Mommy did the best should could to make the transition smooth but it did not work for the both of them. Pray for Daddy and Cj, they will get through it! Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Reading is FUNdamental!

Today Daddy and CJ needed to burn a few hours while Mommy got her hair done. So what better place than the mall. While looking around daddy saw that Borders was going out of business so he decided to stroll in. Daddy desires that CJ develops a love for reading. It is something he does not have but does all he can to encourage it with her. So Daddy let CJ pick out a book, of course it weas Dora and then he picked up a few more for her. She read one book as we went throughout the mall and then as we drove to get Mommy. Now you might be saying she can not read. I say to you, she holds the book properly, turns the pages in intervals and says words. That is reading to me. Now she may not know what she is reading but that will come.

Let us continue to pray for CJ and her intellectual growth. Daddy will do all he can to encourage and support her growth as well as epose her to the world beyond her wildest imagination. Prayer changes things, people, and situations! Reading will always be FUN in the Johnson household.

NOTE TO CJ: Book open your mind to so much. Never stop reading, there is always more to know and see.

Sesame Place Part Deux

Today the heat index read 107 degrees. So instead of staying home or hanging in the mall to steal AC. Daddy, CJ, and Mommy decided to keep to there scheduled plan to visit Sesame Place with the Brown's. The smart thing was that the visit was schedueld for later in the day. So even though everyone slept late and we were off to a sluggish start we made our war to Langhorne, Pennsylvania.

The first only only destination was the water. No matter what it was we made our way there. CJ fussed in the lazy river and was happy for our early exit. We then went to the wading pool where she had more fun. Daddy took her to stand under the bucket as it poured over top of us both. It was so refreshing but CJ was not pleased. She eventually began to enjoy herself and by the end of the night rode all the rides with her Mommy. Daddy rode the Big Bird Twirly ride with her and felt it was to high for him. We got back in the lazy river and CJ had fun this time. She was a trooper and stayed awake through the night time parade and the walk back to the car. She did not las tlong on the ride home but she deserved her sleep. We can not wait until the next time.

We will pray that Sesame Place is not the only place we can get season passes to next year. Prayer changes things, people and situations!

CJ and Dora

CJ's favorite character is Dora, and when Daddy sees something with Dora on it he usually gets it for CJ. Today to go along with her Dora swimsuit Daddy sought out a Dora beach towel for which CJ now lays on like a blanket.

Daddy was feeling good today so when he came home he and his ladies went out to dinner. The restaurant was a new one for the family named Bensi. Daddy felt the food was average and took extrememly to long to get to the table. CJ, however enjoyed her food, well the bread and Daddy's brocoli. Daddy did not intend to share but she insited and he obliged. CJ was on her best behavior until the end when she tried to hand the waiter a brocoloi rod she had chewed on.

Daddy and CJ are preparing for Sesame place tomorrow. It will be very hot but the only thing on the agenda is getting in the water. We pray that we both stay comfortable and hve a great time. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Not A Word 7-20-11

Daddy has not heard from his Princess all day long. "Houston, we have a problem." Daddy believes it is now time to implement some rules of contact. Some days at work youo can get wrapped up in your responsibilites that anythig you wanted to do does not get done. Calling his Princess was on his miind but the second did not come to do so. He prays that she had an enjoyable and productive day. One more week and I am home daily! Pray for Mommy becasue Daddy and CJ are back together real soon! Prayer changes things, people, and situations and Mommy will be in a tough one, lol.

Daughters

Everyone knows how much Daddy loves songs about Daughters. Daddy heard a new song today that he really likes so he wants to share it with CJ so she has the lyrics. Since he is missing her a whole bunch at the moment this song helped to make him smile and get through the night.


Daughters Lyrics
Artist(Band):John Mayer


I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls are continually changed
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now I'm left
Cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the guide and the weight of her world

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too [x3]

This evening was rough for Daddy. He misses his Princess and some nights it is more rough than others. Pray for Daddy, this summer situation may be coming to an end soon. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

The Cold Shoulder for July18

Stopped home today and Daddy was given the cold shoulder by CJ. When it was time for him to say goodbye, he said, "Bye CJ." Normally Daddy would get a salutation back. He would at least get a smile or a whimper. Today however, CJ gave her Daddy an under the eye look and shrugged her shoulder. CRUSHED was how Daddy walked down the stairs and out the door. His Princess is not happy with the current state of coming and going and quite frankly could care less that her Daddy is working. CJ wants her due time. No money can buy it and no gift will do. she wants her Daddy. This pierces Daddy because CJ has made a choice for him and threw the ball in his court to score or miss the shot. Daddy is going to pray since he knows prayer changes things, people, and situations. This prayer will be that CJ misses her Daddy when he leaves. Oh yeah, yesterday she cried when her uncle left buy not her Daddy. What is a Daddy to do?
