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.

Taught Well

CJ's grandfather told me that

Suddenly Silent

Tonight we had company over. So Daddy prepared dinner and Mommy laid out the appetizers. Mommy really knows how to entertain. She pulls out all the stops and swears she does not like to have folks over. Anyway CJ did not want to wait for the guests. She wanted to grab all the cheese she could. She also wanted to drink from the empty cups Mommy put out. She decided she would eat the napkins too. Mommy fussed with her a bit but CJ with her determined personality kept going back for more.

The odd thing today was that CJ went silent. CJ usually has the gift of gab. She will get personal with people rather quickly. Tonight when the guests came one her cousin she decided to stay close to her Daddy. I was taken aback because CJ is a bit more extroverted than that. The behavior was new. I will also report that by the end of the night she had warmed up a lot. I guess they had to meet her approval.

So CJ, after staying up way past her mothers desired bedtime for her was taken immediately to bed once the door was locked. Mommy of course fell asleep to. She always does. So I will remind you to pray folks. Prayer changes things, people, and situations. Good night.

NOTE TO CJ: CJ, remember to always greet people when they enter into a place where you are. You should make them feel welcomed!

A Nice Ride

Today CJ and Daddy spent their quality time together in the truck riding back and forth. Mommy was a little under the weather so it was just Daddy and CJ who had to venture out today. As we traveled CJ sat in the back and bounced to the beat of the music. I get excited when I see her respond to music, she seems to really enjoy it. that is a good thing because her daddy is really into music and will dance around by himself if need to.

When I arrived to pick CJ up from the sitter she looked like she was having fun. So much fun that she acknowledged my presence and proceeded to do what she was previously engaged in. One of the kids was playing a boxing game and CJ was displaying her skills. I let her be for a few then asked her if she was ready to go home. She actually turned around and say clearly, "No!" Both the sitter and I snickered. I then asked if she wanted to go see Mommy? Again, CJ, this time without turning around said, "No!" I am really glad she enjoys her time at the sitter but want her to like coming home too. So finally I told CJ bye bye and opened the door. She heard it open then started to come towards me, then bypassed me, said, bye bye and proceeded out the door.

The evening was spent keeping CJ out of everything. Mommy was trying to straighten up he house for company tomorrow but you all know CJ, anything that she can get into she will. She went to sleep without to much fuss tonight. It has been a long week so my poor baby must be worn out. Now Daddy is just listening to what he calls his oldies but goodies. From time to time Daddy needs to listen to real music since their is not much of it left these days. So folks, keep praying, I am a living witness that prayer works. It changes things, people, and situations!

NOTE TO CJ: If you keep your room clean as your Daddy and Mommy ask you to, when company comes by you will not have to be up all night prepping. You can do something more fun with your time.
