TIMEOUT

OK, CJ tested some limits today and had to get checked. We are in the midst of CJ developing her little attitude. What she wants to do, she does. You ask her to do something and she acts like she does not hear you. That pains Daddy. She played that game today but played herself. Mommy said it was timeout but Daddy calls it, "sit your butt down and don't move." CJ needs to learn that when Daddy asks her to do something she must respond. Now CJ did not like the time she had to be still and stay on the couch. She tried to be coddled but Daddy mesnt business.

Fat Lip

So I drop Mommy and CJ off and not to soon after I get a text that CJ had an accident. I Daddy asked what happened and it seems as if CJ ran into bedpost. I should have called the authorities but I let Mommy off the hook. Daddy and CJ did not see much of each other but when CJ saw her Daddy she ran up to him and hugged his thighs as she has grown accustomed to doing. So after Daddy and Mommy came home from their old folks date, CJ was already sleep. She woke up for a bit to acknowledge our presence but drifted back to sleep in the car.

Before I go, remember to pray. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Happy Birthday Mommy

CJ actially wished her Mommy a Happy Birthday!

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.
