$2

Today when Daddy came home he was greeted by a screaming daughter. She her the door open and took off towars the stairs. Daddy could hear Mommy telling CJ to wait so he quickly looked up and motioned for CJ to stay put. CJ actually listened for a change and waited for Daddy to come up the stairs. We he got to the top daddy gave CJ a hi-five.

Daddy brought chicken in for dinner tonight and wanted to eat quickly. However not as quick as CJ who intead of allowing her food to cool down went into the fridge and took her checken leg out. She did let the rice cool though. She then as always proceeded to try and get into Daddy's plate. Why she does this we may never know.

CJ went to sleep without incident today. Mommy said that she had not taken a nap so it was only a matter of time. Daddy is glad becasue the tantrums were becoming a bit much. Now the $2, CJ came to Daddy and just kept saying two dollars. Daddy asked her is she wanted $2 but she said no. Mommy then informed him f the yellwo paper that CJ referred to all day with regard to the $2. Daddy ws glad, at least he got to keep his money in his pocket!

Mommys Phone

CJ lost mommys phone three days ago. Today it is still missing. CJ told Daddy, I miss you Daddy, I love you Daddy. How special Daddy felt.

Touchy, Touchy

You can tell CJ not to touch something and it is like your talking to a wall. Today it was the speakers Daddy had connected to the laptop. Daddy did not want her to touch them since they were playing very loudly. So CJ is told to put the speaker down, instead she chooses to put the speaker all the way up to her ear. Daddy knows this is not a good thing that is why he tried to help his daughter. However her stubborness and attitude cause her to want to do what she wants to do, when she wants too.

This child is a trip and a half. Peopl always ask how she is doing and Daddy tells them wise beyond her years, lol! We are working on Ms. CJ, she will learn how to listen one way or another.

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!
