Bath Time Resistance

Up until today bath time with Daddy has been calm and able to be conducted with ease. I would run the bath water, get the washcloth, the towel, and the soap prepared before I placed CJ in the tub. Then I would let her play, just a little bit and proceed to bath her. We would usually be done with everything in about twenty minutes to a half hour.

Well today homegirl flipped the script. She saw me get up to go into the bathroom and she started to whine. She then darted to me and stood next to me trying to prevent me from finishing what I was doing. As I started the water her cry got louder. I asked her what was wrong but she did not indicate anything. So I put her in the tub and she continued to whine, she even tried to get out. So Daddy operated quickly to help her not get to hysterical. I do not know what it is theses days but I explained to CJ that being clean is something she MUST do. Daddy and Mommy are holding you down now, but just as soon as she is able CJ will be bathing herself.

I hope bath time gets back to normal. The time CJ and I spend together helps to foster our great relationship. So keep praying, prayer changes things, people, and situations!

Daddy Was Not There

As the father of a girl one thing that stays on my mind is always being there for her when she needs me. From the moment she entered the world Daddy's protective instinct went to one hundred. So when I came in from church the news I heard was not pleasant. I know this may be a bit much but do not judge me. Mommy told me that when she washed CJ's hair she called out for me. The only thing was that Daddy was not there. I admit it hurt me to hear this so I went in to check on CJ as she slumbered.

Please keep us in your prayers. Pray that CJ and Daddy are provided with more time together. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Normalcy

Today was a normal day. CJ is doing well and Daddy is working hard.

Boston

Everyone in the world knows that Daddy is die hard Los Angeles Laker fan. Through the miserable day of Threat, Campbell and Divac I stuck by there side. The church knows it, my students know it, my wife knows and the babysitter family knows it! They hated when the Lakers won another championship last year. So you all can imagine my dismay and astonishment when I walk into the babysitters and find my child adorned in the green and white of Boston. I almost vomited. The sitter's daughter thought it amusing to get CJ a Celtic jersey, OMG! Now Daddy smiled and let her her know that CJ knows what team she supports. Not even a jersey can get her confused. The sad truth is that she will support the Lakers until she is old enough to state otherwise and then she should be careful of who she choses because she will need a place to live. It was a cute joke, so now she will really get the Kobe sneakers and a few other Laker related items.

So, when you pray tonight lift Daddy up in prayer, he needs it. Prayer changes things, people, and situations and only prayer can fix this.

Not Sleeping Beauty

So CJ did not take a nap today. She stayed up in church. She played during the entire time we were at dinner. So then, when we rode home she dozed off and while we shopped for her weekly needs she slept. When we arrived home we put her to sleep for what we thought was the night but CJ had other plans. It is 10:55pm and she is awake. Lets see when she goes to sleep.

Until The Night

Today was a long day. It started off well but once the day ended CJ turned into another person.

Runny Nose

Well today did not go as Daddy planned. He planned to drop Mommy off to work then head down to his office to catch up on some missed work. However Mommy had other plans and insisted that he not take CJ away from home and reluctantly he obliged. This stirred the pot a little but these things happen. So CJ and Daddy dropped Mommy off at work and returned home. CJ watched her TV shows while Daddy prepared breakfast. We feasted on Cream of Wheat this morning. Now Daddy, knowing that CJ was suppose to get her hair done wanted to keep her breakfast out of her hair so he put her hat on. That is right folks he put her winter hat back on her head to protect her hair. It worked for a little then CJ did as she normally does and took her hat off. Daddy gets a B, the hat could not be worn after breakfast.

Today CJ was still spunky but she had to contend with a runny nose all day long. The substance was not usual and it flowed all the time. When she fell asleep it slowed down which was good. SO Daddy kept a wet burp cloth handy to keep up with her nose. I guess it frustrated CJ so much that she was looking for tissue and using it properly. I felt bad for her but let her do it herself sometimes to help with her development.

The past three days have been OK. Daddy will admit he does not like staying indoors. He is a busy body that needs to see other people and the outdoors. However when CJ is sick he must do what he can to make sure she is cared for. These are the things they do not include in the book and you must learn for yourself. So hopefully we are out of the woods with this surgery. We go for a follow up in two weeks and the report will be good. CJ will be back to her usual schedule on MOnday prayerfully and Daddy is dreading the return to work. Not only will he be behind but he has presentations on Monday. So you know what we are praying for I hope. Pray for CJ to continue healing and for Daddy to have patience. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.
