A Fight On Our Hands

So as soon as the Princess tunred two she decided to do things by the book. CJ's attitutde is becoming more and more terrible. She is not paying attention when she should. She purposely does the opposite of what she is told. She will not eat her dinner, instead she will put cheesy bread in her hair and push food on the floor, and putting CJ to bed has become more of a chre than anyone would want. If you were to tell people they would say that she is going through the terrible twos. Daddy does not want to believe that. CJ needs to learn what she can and can not do. She must understand that she should listen to her parents. Daddy will not chalk this up to developmental behavior. he may place the blame on her stubborness and yes, her being spoiled. Daddy will admit a little of her issue may be because he can not bear to hear her crying in hysteria. he is not as tough as Mommy is in that area. All he hears is that his Princess is cryin and he wants to stop it. Daddy knows that will create a monster and is dealing with how he will overcome this. until then you all pray for Daddy because CJ will have to learn and he will have to toughen up with regard to her. Enjoy the rest of this cool evening.

When CJ Get's Tired

Folks, when CJ gets tired she is a big mess. This morning we had to get to 8am Worship and CJ course her usual self once she woke up fully. Now she behaved well in church but afterwards she wanted things to go her way. CJ almost got her little self left at the church because her Mommy refused to pick her up. Luckily for CJ her "Pop" was near and picked her up and escorted her to the car. CJ was more than grateful.

Once we arrived to "the yellow house" CJ is was in full gear. She was all over the house. On the table, pulling plants, on the computer, and anything else she could get to that was not nailed down. Her great-grandmother bought her a toy that lit up and CJ was all into it. She stays near her great-grandmother because she knows she will get fed when she does and she has not been failed yet. CJ still has to learn to listen and not touch things she should not though. She was getting tired after brunch and would not settle down with no one. Mommy had to literally hold CJ and not let her down to get her to relax a little. Mommy and Daddy both knew CJ was tired and when she got to the car she began to doze off and finally about midway down the fist leg of the trip home she was asleep.

It is sometimes funny when CJ gets tired because she does bot now what to do with herself. Deep down within I figure she wants to say, "OK I quit and will go to sleep." However her body continues to do whatever it it able to do. Sometimes it leads her to do the wrong things and then she gets into trouble. Daddy does not like to see CJ in trouble and tries to help her out but sometimes she is in too deep to help. One day she will learn that when she is tired she should just lie down. Be blessed folks!

Walmart

CJ has been wanting to go to Walmart for a few days now. Daddy was able to honor her request today, She got herself some crayons and paper and was satisfied.

For August 12th

CJ and Daddy went to Sesame Place. We both were tired when we came home. CJ got to see Elmo too. Oh yeah and Cookie Monster.

Up All Night

CJ has the capability to stay up all night if she is allowed too. She can beat her sleep easily and if you mention any word that relates to sleep she will begin to get antsy and cranky. She does all this while on the inside she probably is already sleeping.

Tonight CJ irritated Mommy a little bit so Daddy had to step in and discipline CJ. CJ knows what she does a lot of the time but sometimes she is just trying to pay but she may be to rough or she chooses the wrong time. Daddy asked her to sit next to him and go to sleep. She managed to get the first one right.

We have to pray that CJ transition with listening happens fast. daddy knows she must go through this phase but she has to work with her parents a little bit. The bad thing is that she has both of her parents personality and that equals stubborn.

So as she continues to fight her sleep Daddy changes CJ and then takes her to bed. She is very upset but Daddy had to do it. Even though he does not mind her staying up he has to keep the upper hand. Until tomorrow folks, take care of yourselves.

Old Bridge Tea Party

Forthcoming

2- Year Old Visit

Today was CJ's scheduled visit to the doctor. Daddy had to take her alone because Mommy had her own doctors appointment at the same time. CJ was a bit loud because when we entered the office she saw a picture of Elmo on the wall. So we all know there was no calming her down after that. CJ had a good visit, she is growing rapidly as she always has. The 90% is where she hangs out. The doctor was thrilled to see how big she had become. She of course cried when the doctor entered the room. I really do not understand why she acts like that. The rest of the day was spent with C getting into trouble. She really needs to curb her attitude. She has been catching tantrums when she does not get her way. We usually ignore her but today she needed to be talked to sternly. She is getting a little beside herself and both Mommy and Daddy are taking part in correcting her. She believes that if she smiles at Daddy or clings to him he will stop being mad but she has to understand it does not act like that.

Today she finally said those magic words, "I love you Daddy!" That erased all of her problems for today but Daddy knows he has to be strong and stick to his toughness. Pray for Daddy folks, prayer will work this situation out!
