It About Time

Well after tonight Daddy will get to see CJ! He talked with her briefly today and he is ready to get home to see her. Daddy is praying that all the students leave early so he can get to her. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

Just A Few Words

Today I spoke with CJ a few times and she did not have much to say. This is odd for her. Usually CJ has a lot to say to Daddy. Daddy wonders if she is upset that he is not around. Maybe the, "Daddy is at work," phrase is not working any longer. Daddy was a little bit sad. Daddy prays that she will understands the sacrifices made by him and how they affect her as well. Daddy's change will come. Prayer changes things, people, and situations.

For July 5th, 2011

OK, so I am a few minutes late. The computer downstairs took to long to load. Well I am back down at the college, away from my Princess. When I called home today it seemed like she and Mommy were having a solid time. She talked to me each time I called and told Daddy bye-bye clearly. Daddy is dealing with the time away by working on CJ's birthday stuff. Nothing much just a family trip to the zoo and a Dora cake. CJ loves Dora and Diego so Daddy wants to surprise her with a cake reflecting such.

Today was OK but Daddy hopes that the week will go by quickly so he can see his baby girl again. God is moving and we will not have to be separate during the summers much in the future. Keep praying for us, prayer changes things, people, and situations!

I Love You Daddy!

While everyone else in the world was watching the fireworks in New York on television or at their local park, CJ was creating fireworks of her own. Ladies and gentlemen CJ is close to clearly saying I Love You Daddy! She is saying it now and Daddy understands it but the clarity is close. This will be the moment that Daddy is no more good.

Daddy spent the entire day with CJ today becasue he has to go to work for the week tomorrow morning. So that meant whatever CJ wanted for the most part she got, Mommy of course was not pleased. When daddy went off to bed she told daddy that she loved him. Nothing could have made my day brighter than that staement. Daddy is going to miss his Princess for the next few days but will call her daily to hear those great words.

Keep praying for us folks, prayer changes things, people, and situations!

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.
