Daddy woke up, then CJ. We came in the living room and CJ took in her morning dose of cartoons. Daddy prepared us some grits and toast and we dined together as we do every morning we are on vacation. The day was rather dull. CJ did what she did, that is get into any and everything she could. Daddy relaxed and watched television and chatted with Mommy. CJ and Daddy did get a mini concert in today. We performed some of our favorite Earth, Wind, and Fire cuts. CJ is a real songbird when she wants to be, though she enjoys dancing much more.
She went to sleep without much fuss tonight too. It was a little later than normal but we will take what we can get. So, keep praying folks, prayer changes things, people, and situations. It can changes CJ's bad attitude at night as well!

Blizzard Clean-Up 2010
The day after the blizzard is always interesting. Daddy spent an hour and twenty minutes digging out the car. he was going to take CJ for a ride but he opted to use caution and leave her home.
She tried to stay up late again and we had to put her in her crib and leave her. CJ is really feeling herself these days. She is trying her luck and testing both Daddy and Mommy. She will do something and look to see our response. She also act like she cannot hear at times. Which annoys Daddy but he is trying his best to be persistent and uniform with his discipline.
She is sleep now and we will see what tomorrow will bring. Keep praying folks, prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Snowed In
It is very rare that Daddy does not see the outside world. Today was the first time in a long time where Daddy did not even make it to the front door. Since the northeast was hit by a blizzard last night and Daddy and CJ are on vacation no one had plans or saw it necessary to go out in the bad weather. Daddy's switch from a truck back to a car may have played a huge role in him staying home as well. Nonetheless CJ and her Daddy had an eventful day. Daddy woke up for his Monday morning conference prayer call and stayed up from that. So the next person to wake up in the house of course was CJ. It seemed as if she called out for Daddy to come get her because Mommy would not respond to her beckoning.
Once CJ was up and roaming around Daddy decided to fix some breakfast. Pancakes were on the menu for this morning. Mommy chose not to eat with us so Daddy and CJ dined together. CJ sat and ate all of her pancake too, she must of been hungry. CJ then proceeded to undo everything Daddy had done. Daddy was particularly upset with CJ because she emptied out all of her blocks and scattered them around. Before you say that she is a kid and that is what she is suppose to do let me tell you something. I am OK with her using them, but when she pours them all out and then kicks them then moves on to something else, especially after Daddy has picked them all up is where Daddy has an issue.
CJ also played a cruel joke on her Daddy today as well. Daddy was laying on the floor minding his own business. Then I felt a body on my back. That was OK, Cj usually will sit or lay on my back. What was next created the problem, I felt something very cold slide down my neck. I did not get startled because I did not want to scare the baby. I eventually felt that she had spit milk on me and then proceeded to laugh hysterically. All I could say was Mommy get your child. It is a prank daddy would play so again, this girl not only has my looks (that is a good thing) she also is developing some of my personality which in some ways is good and in others may be problematic.
So now I guess I have to prank CJ next. She has awaken a sleeping giant in the prank category. One who she might have wanted to stay asleep. In any event it shall be fun to see how she responds when I get her back. I know you along with her mother will say I should be the adult but what fun s life as an adult. I want to be a kid again, lol!
So the night ended as usual. Daddy tried to save her from the crib but she refused to come a lay with her Daddy. So Mommy took her in the room and put her in the crib and she cried as she normally does for five or more minutes straight. Currently she is quiet but still awake and mommy's foot is still on her neck. If CJ would only listen to her Daddy she would be at least out relaxing with her Daddy instead of in the dungeon that is her crib, at least at night it is.
So folks CJ needs you to pray for her night time situation, Daddy knows and she is learning that prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Happy Birthday To Daddy - Blizzard 2010
Today was Daddy's 31st Birthday. His Princess bought her king a Wok! Now some of you may say that is a weird gift but if you knew how much Daddy loved cooking stir-fry you would understand. CJ also gave me a card that will be laminated and framed as soon as the weather allows me the chance to get to the store. Today was a Sunday so Daddy spent the day in Worship of course, what better place to be.
CJ's day started out a little rough. Her first outfit had a spot on it, her shoes did not fit, and all this while we were running late. It was all good though, Daddy had already said better late than never but we made it on time.
Today also brought about a blizzard. At this very moment, as CJ sleeps soundly, the snow continues to mount up inch after inch. The ride home from church was slow and steady. Praise God for traveling mercy. Once we arrived home Daddy prepared a scrumptious meal of steak, mashed sweet potatoes, and string beans. Looking back at it, it was a very colorful pallet. CJ refuses to let anyone feed her these days. She insists on doing it herself. Even though it gets messy and Mommy gets so annoyed at the mess it creates, it shows she is growing up and maturing.
For some reason Daddy did not want to plan anything for his birthday. He told Mommy he had foresight because if they did plan something the weather would have ruined it. Mommy did keep with the tradition of Daddy having an ice cream cake for his birthday, which he thought was very special.
The highlight of the day for CJ and Daddy was after dinner. (Daddy needed a pick me up since the Giants were obliterated tonight) So after CJ fed herself sweet potatoes, she has them all over her face. Of course Daddy asked for a kiss and she gave him one. Daddy looked at her and then told her very loudly that she had a sweet potato face. Not to be outdone CJ said something back to Daddy very loudly as well. Then they spent the next few moments loudly talking to each other. They found it to be very funny but I bet Mommy wished they both would shut up.
I guess we will wait out this snow and go out and play tomorrow. CJ has her snow suit so she can make her first snow angel. So as we praise God for the snow continue to pray for healing in the land tonight. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says this, "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." We know that prayer changes things, people, and situations. This has been on my mind all day and the world is suffering from many chronic illnesses.
NOTE TO CJ: It is always important to remember to pray for others!

Christmastime Is Here
Today was Christmas, and before any of you ask, CJ does not believe in Santa Claus. About halfway through the morning I was fed up with CJ because she chose to play with boxes rather than the stuff she received. She did seem to like the ball pit though, so Daddy decided to join her in it. I bet you wish you could see that. She also played with her dolls a bit too. She named one of them Abby. That is, if you ask Mommy. I believe Mommy is going with a sound she produced and trying to pass it off as her name.
We had a shocker today when we found out the water was off. For a moment, Mommy and Daddy thought we would have to go out for dinner and TGI Friday's was the only place open. YUCK. Luckily the water came back on and we were able to stay home and feast on Mommy's great cooking.
CJ put up a fuss tonight going to bed. Mommy was her stern usual self and Daddy came in to play the peacekeeper. Mommy does not like when I play that role but she needs to understand that CJ is Daddy's Princess and we will operate differently at times. To catch you up to speed, Daddy does not believe in forcing CJ to go to sleep, Mommy does. Daddy has yielded to Mommy's request on this one but will always try to find a crack in her operation from time to time. Tonight I coddled CJ until she fell asleep. She had a long day folks, but I am concerned because she did not eat much.
So the day is over and she is asleep and Daddy is heading to bed. You all pray for us as we continue to grow. Prayer changes things, people, and situations!

Twas The Night Before Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, CJ was stirring, I hope we do not have no mouse. Now CJ is to young to even anticipate what lies ahead but for some reason she would not go to sleep. There is one bag that she insists on bothering and it is not even her gift. Daddy sat and listened to Christmas songs, she would dance to some but did not really feel grooving to music. She would rather go into the kitchen and bathroom to interrupt Mommy as she cleaned.
Tonight she tried to get off with falling out which I did not go for at all. I let her know I would give her something to fall out for if she continued the episodes. (I sound like my dad, lol) Moving along, Mommy fixed her something to eat and CJ ate it all. She then laid down but then popped back up. I had enough so I have her in the room with me and she is in her crib about to be sleep for the night. (Even though that was an hour ago and she is still playing peekaboo with her self and pops up whenever she hears a crack)
So I guess she will be one of those who insists on opening her presents at 12:00am Christmas Morning. Well, as long as she says, "Thank You Jesus" first she will be free to do whatever she want. As for Daddy, he will be sleep. So folks as I end tonight, i want to remind you that Jesus is the Season point blank. I pray you did not go for broke and go further in debt trying to satisfy carnal pleasures. You have every other day of the year to show folks you love them and to exchange gifts. Think about this, the Magi brought gift of Gold, frankincense, and Myrrh. Simple gifts yet full of purpose and power. Think about what you give and the meaning and reason behind it. Most of you can not make any sense of it, i know you can not. Give God the PRAISE during this holiday season and look up what the meaning behind the Magi's gift is. Keep praying folks, prayer changes things, people, and situations.
NOTE TO CJ: Daddy want you to know that Christmas is not about receiving or giving gifts. On Christmas in Daddy's house we will always give God the Praise for giving us his son Jesus Christ. If you do not get one gift on December 25th just know your gift is Jesus and that is the most precious gift you could receive! Daddy loves you!

The Night Before the Night Before Christmas
Highlights are as follows:
The house is a mess.
Daddy gets peed on by CJ.
Daddy lets CJ stay up late.
CJ fights her sleep.
Daddy puts CJ in the crib and CJ falls asleep rather quickly.
Daddy fell asleep quicker.
Daddy asked Mommy to wake him up no matter what.
Mommy did not do as Daddy asked her to.
It is 2:38am the next day and Daddy wakes up, CJ is sleep. Mommy never made it to bed, she is sprawled out on the living room floor. Daddy still has things to do before the morning but really wants to go back to sleep.
CJ and Daddy did make out fine during the duration of the time they had together.
Keep praying for us, prayer changes things, people, and situations.
NOTE TO CJ: When will you be OK with going to sleep on your own without any fuss? HURRY! PLEASE.
