Black-Eyed CJ

On the way home today Daddy received a different phone call. As Daddy strained to see the car ahead of him through the hard rainfall Mommy told him that CJ had fell and bruised herself pretty bad. So Daddy was interested to see this face when he picked CJ up. When Daddy arrived to the sitter he was met with a running and cheerful CJ and a very sad sitter. The bruise is bad and CJ will black and blue up in by the morning but these things happen. Daddy ssured the sitter that all was well and that she should eat and calm down.

Mommy brought every medicinal item she could to treat the eye. Daddy somply said, "Its her first black-eye," of course he is not loving the fact that her face is jacked up but she will be OK. CJ seems to be fine and Daddy talked with the sitter to let her know that. We will pray that her healing is smooth and clear! Prayer changes things, people and situations.

Walmart

Daddy does not understand how but CJ recognizes Walmart. Whenever we are there she days "Walmart" throughout the store. Today was different. She picked up a receipt and said, "Walmart". Mommy and Daddy both are stunned. How does she know this?

Fathers Day 2011

Daddy made it. This was the first Father's Day Daddy and CJ were well and together. We woke up this morning and headed out to worship early. Today we had two services. CJ was well behaved in both. After dinner with the family, Mommy and CJ took Daddy to get his gift. Daddy got his helmet and the bike is soon to come. As Daddy said earlier, CJ celebrates him daily every tome she says, "Daddy" Daddy will take that over any gift.

You all know to pray for our continued development. Prayer still changes things, people, and situations. Prayer helps in development too!

CJ Seems To Be FIne

So Mommy was diagnosed yesterday, she has strp throat and has been walking around the house with masks on to keep her disease to herself. Today was Daddy's turn at the doctor. The good news is that Daddy does not have strep throat. However he has someting and the doctor prescribed some medication to clear it up. So Daddy is still running strong and now is getting the assistance he needs. The great thing about all of this is that CJ is fine. CJ is walking, talking, destroying and getting into any and everthing she can. No coughing, no eating issues, and no diaper issues to be concerned about. Daddy is glad becasue he gets miserable when his Princess is not reigning as normal.

Today CJ played a trick on her Daddy. It is normal for CJ to run and hide in different places around the house. Usually she does a horrible job, lol. Today as Daddy used the laptop CJ was off and running. Out the corner of his eye Daddy saw he r go into the bedroom. The problem was that when he went in there was no sign of CJ. Daddy called out her name but no response. Daddy then went into the bathroom but CJ was not in there. Back into the living room he went but CJ was nowhere in sight. Just when he was about to ge concern he heard something bumpo into a wall. He went into the closet and who did he find coming from behind a bin but CJ. Daddy will admit loud and clear that he was getting very concerned until he heard that thud. He could not get mad at her because Daddy is a prankster too and he now has to wait to get CJ back some how.

SO folks lets pray that Daddy's health progresses, and CJ remains unharmed throughout the weekend and beyond. Prayer changes things, people, and situations!

Strep Throat

The diagnosis is in, Mommy has Strep Throat. It was this exact same time last year that CJ had strep and then Daddy caught it from her. Daddy missed the big Father's Day lunch at the church and he missed Father's Day worship service. Daddy spent the entire morning in the emergency room. His first Father's Day will always be memorable. So it is today a year later and Daddy is yet again the recipient of Strep Throat maybe. Daddy's throat has been in pain all week, towards the end it became better but it is sore none the less.

Daddy is just trying to enjoy his second Father's Day. he goes tomorrow to get his diagnosis, which he hopes is not to bad. The good thing is that CJ is seeming to have immunity this time. Daddy prays that she continues to be strong because he does not want to go through her being sick.

So keep Daddy and CJ in your prayers folks. Pray we get to enjoy our second Father's Day together! We know prayer WILL change things, people, and situations. We also know they sickness is a joke to prayer!

CJ and Names

So when Daddy and Mommy went to pick CJ up she was outside enjoying the sun. When she came in the other child's mother was walking down the hall and CJ looked up and called her by name. Both Daddy and Mommy were taken aback but the sitter just said, "You got a smart baby!" Let's pray that she continues to value learning. Prayer changes things. people, and situations.

Graduation Day

Today was CJ's Uncle Duke's graduation from high school. CJ and Daddy had to ride as a duo because Mommy is really sick. Daddy and CJ got a late start this morning because Daddy just could not get it all together. This even though he prepared much of CJ's stuff last night, it was his stuff that held them up. Their lateness resulted in a meeting needing to be pushed back for Daddy. That was the only time they were late the rest of the day.

Daddy left work early to make sure he picked CJ up and beat all of the Garden State Parkway traffic. He was in East Orange by 4:00pm. Daddy was also the driving force to make sure everyone arrived to the graduation site on time. The graduation was nice. The school did what was right and focused everything on the students. CJ sat well for the most part. For a long while Daddy forgot she was there because she actually wanted to sit with her Pop! After the graduation the family went out to eat. This is where CJ showed her butt. She just would not stop talking. She whined, she screamed and just did anything that would annoy her Daddy. It was a long day for her and she held out as long as she could.

We finally arrived home and CJ has been sleep since we hit the Parkway South. We have to be up and at them tomorrow and I bet she will be a little cranky. We just pray that she learns to behave when she is tired. If she is tired, go to sleep. Pray for her folks, prayer changes things, people., and situations.
