Laying Around

Daddy can not recolect much of the evening. What he can remember is that he and CJ did a lot of sleeping. Daddy tried to stay awake through television shows and CJ climbing all over her him but the weariness upon his body set in. CJ was weary too, she slept through the early part of the night, Cj climbed on her Daddy's back and rested. Daddy and Cj also shared popcorn together. Even though daddy tries to limit her intake CJ gets handfuls of kernals and stuffs them in her mouth.

Daddy and Mommy both recognized how CJ was behaving better in church lately. She did yell out, "Good Morning, Daddy" when Daddy stood up this morning but after that you did not even know she was there. This is with no toys or gimmicks people. Daddy is pleaased with the progress and prays it continues. Prayer changes things, people, and situations! Now Dady needs to occupy himself since he is well rested now.

Broken Glass

The day was suppose to be spent in the house relaxing. However midway through the afternoon Mommy decided to change that for CJ and Daddy. Now, CJ and daddy upon waking up this morning enjoyed pancakes for breakfast. They each had a drink Daddy of juice and CJ of milk and then began to watch television. Daddy was even able to read part of a book to CJ. It was about different shades of brown. Daddy read until CJ left him with book in hand.

When Mommy changed the plan, Daddy and CJ adjusted. They dropped her off where she needed to be then proceeded up north to wait and save gasoline. CJ was sleep the entire ride up and when we arrived was groggy and grumpy for about 20 minutes. Within that time her cousins came over and she warmed up quickly. CJ dined on an ice pop and then went to watch television with her great-grandmother and cousins. She actually volunteered to be away from her Daddy whom she usually clings to all the time. Sooner than later she came out and managed to get near some glasses she should not have been near. We tried calling her cousin Brooks softly as not to startle her but we were to late and the glass shattered on the floor. CJ who tried to get away was not harmed but she was put on time out. She was upset and of course performed a tantrum but Daddy paid her no mind and began the clean up process.

CJ must learn that she can not just touch anything when she wants. CJ sat in that place until Daddy told her it was time to go get her mother. We are really working on CJ's lack of listening to people an her selective listening to her parents. We will have to pray daily so we do not have a child who feels she can do what she wants when she wants too. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

No Bags

Daddy took CJ out today. He did not find sneakers but CJ liked some Crocs that she liked. Mommy got some shoes too. Everyone had a bag but Daddy. Felt nice spoiling his Princess too. Keep praying for us. The prayers do help. Prayer changes people, things, and situations.

I'm Coming Home

I see my Princess tomorrow.

Not Much From CJ

Today was a busy day for Mommy and Daddy so the conversation was brief during the day. By the time the parents spoke in the evening CJ was sleeping soundly because she did not take a nap during the day. Mommy did manage to tell me that CJ was running around the house with no clothes on saying, "Naked!" I think she picked that up from her uncles.

We have two more nights to go before Daddy gets to see his Princess. Daddy is planning a short trip for them to get CJ some sneakers. he promised to get her a new pair when he came home. Also Mommy needs a break from her. Daddy is going to make sure that he has his Skype set up next week so he can chat with CJ live. Daddy has a big day ahead of him that will impact the families future. Daddy will make sure he is prayed up before entering all of his meetings. Daddy knows that prayer changes things, people, and situations!

Careful Daddy

Well today will be the third night I am not there to see CJ to sleep. As Daddy sits and chats with his staff he ponders what he will do with CJ on Friday. he promised her sneakers but that will not be to fun. So he must think a bit more. Of course he made sure he called CJ bright and early. When he finally heard from CJ she talked to him well. She said, "Careful Daddy." So Daddy must be on his best behavior. So far Daddy is getting his rest, eating properly, and even walking across campus versus driving.

So Daddy is listening to his Princess so he can arrive back at the castle safely as directed. Keep praying for Daddy as he wrestles with work and life. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Day Two Away

CJ finally got to go on a swing.
