So when I dropped my child off today her hair was decent. When I picked her up her hair looked like she was the long lost descendent of Medusa. Hair was all over the place. Then Daddy had the nerve to need to make some runs before they went home.
The sitter informed us that her daughter (who does CJ's hair) will be leaving on Friday but wanted to make sure CJ's hair was done so they took it out today. We beat the heat and we are all in one piece. CJ still has to learn to listen but we are working on that daily. Keep praying for us as we continue to develop. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.
This blog will chronicle the journey between a new father and his daughter. It will highlight the ups and the downs, and all the lessons learned. It is my prayer that "C.J. and Me" will be an inspiration to all that the bond between father and daughter can be strong. It will also show the world that there are REAL men who help develop stellar women who will go on and shake up the world. Enjoy the journey and look daily to see what new and exciting things are going on in our lives!

Simply CJ
Some things Daddy has come to learn that CJ will simply do.
CJ will eat anything that resembles paper.
CJ will close the refrigerator door when she sees it open.
CJ will go into the refrigerator and get her cup of milk if she feels her receiving it is taking too long.
CJ will go into the bathroom and shut the door, the bedroom and even the closet.
CJ will grab her coat and say, "I want to go." if she sees Mommy or Daddy hit the top stair.
CJ will remain asleep when Daddy dresses her in the morning but fuss with Mommy the entire time.
CJ will throw her dinner plate when she is finished with it.
CJ wil speak to any and everyone she encounters no matter how much it embarrasses her mom or dad.
CJ will drink from any cup she finds.
CJ will tell you what is on her mind if you ask her.
CJ is simply CJ folks. She is one of a kind and developing more and more of a personality daily. We can really begin to see that she is her Mommy and Daddy's child, interesting I know. Daddy loves her though. She is his Princess and anyone who has to, must deal with it. Mommy included. We continue to pray that CJ develops into a remarkable young lady; respecting of self, intelligent, beautiful, athletic, strong, independent, compassionate, witty, humorous, and so much more. Daddy will do his best to raise her up right and show her what a MAN is and how one acts and treats women. He will also learn to let go and let her live trusting in the job he has done! I will need prayer but I will get there. We all know Prayer changes things, people, and situations!
NOTE TO CJ: One thing Daddy wants you to do in life is to fully trust and respect yourself.

In And Out Of Trouble
So CJ for the past few months has been living to create trouble for herself. She will go where she does not suppose to go. She will touch what she knows she should not touch. Now recently, she has been getting bolder about hearing someone say stop but continuing to do as she pleases. So needless to say CJ has a lot of lectures from dear old dad. What Daddy can not seem to understand is that after i discipline her for doing wrong then she wants to come make nice with him.
She will come to Daddy and smile with all her cheeks then say, "Hi Daddy! I'm sorry Daddy!" then hug me. So now what am i suppose to do, continue to be mad? I think not, She understand when Daddy is not playing. He could be a little more stern but he never wants CJ to be scared of him. Daddy will be respected though and CJ is gaining that understanding.
Some people may say Daddy is soft but Daddy knows what he is doing. No need having a young girl afraid to approach her Dad. If that is the case she will go find some other man to fill his place. So CJ plays the line. She is in and out of trouble quickly sometimes. Something we both will need to work on.
So you all pray for us as we continue to develop the foundation of our father/daughter relationship based on love and respect.

Take A Nap
So today was an impromptu day all around. What Daddy believed would simply be a day he could sleep in and have one conference call meeting today turned to something a bit different. Even though we made an appointment we were still back and forth on whether or not we would take CJ to the doctor. However when CJ woke up literally with her eyes glued shut with mucus we knew we would need to go. That appointment was at 9:15am this morning. So while we were out Daddy figured we should go ahead and start our day. CJ and Daddy dropped Mommy off at her mother's and then continued up north.
When we arrived up north of course CJ started to cry when we arrived to the yellow house. Why she still does this is a bit annoying but she gets over it. When we arrived to East Orange today we were met with a picture Daddy never thought he would see in the hood. There was a goose perched in someone's yard. Daddy was so surprised that he took a picture of it. That goose hung on the block all day long. CJ was too busy crying to really understand what was going on. From there Daddy made a senseless trip to the bank. For some reason it was closed and of course Daddy had limited funds and the gas light came on, lol. Daddy handled the problem of course and then it was back to the house.
Daddy had his meeting and then Daddy and CJ enjoyed lunch. CJ was at her best today. She delighted in throwing a plastic vase of Christmas balls all over the place. She then wanted to play with the computer and press every button on the the printer. Everyone would tell her to stop but she would get tickled by trying to sneak and touch it when she thought no one was looking. She continued by sticking her hand in the cake batter her great-grandmother was baking. Then when the cake was done and cooling we noticed two finger holes in the cake. Low and behold the girls had gotten into the cake.
The problem of the day was that though tired, CJ would not take a nap. Daddy held her and she would not go to sleep. CJ would get her blanket and lay it out but then snatch it up and keep running through the house. Even Breezie trying to be nice could not get CJ to lay down. She did manage to keep her in the room watching television so I guess that was an accomplishment. When we left from up north CJ went to sleep as soon as we pulled off. Daddy figured that. Daddy and CJ had a great time today even though it was not planned but those are the best times anyway. Times when things just happen. Hopefully CJ is back to 100% soon. You all keep praying. Prayer changes things, people, and situations!

Another Doctor
When CJ woke up this morning her eye was full of cold. Mommy called the doctor but he is out. She got a reccomendation from a coworker so we will try that tomorrow. Pray for us, prayer changes things, people, and situations.
