The Johnnie Barometer

I let Johnnie sleep in just a bit longer this morning. But that was actually me selfishly making time so I could do some meditation first thing. I'm back to intending something yesterday and got the exact opposite. Which meant I ended up focusing on the opposite of what I intended to manifest. So just like exercise I need to keep at it and get it done right. And also to work on asking my Higher Self, All-That-There-Is for answers, even to the question of why it didn't work out the way I intended. No better a barometer these days on how to become aware of my vibration as when i am with Johnnie. He will do things like give me a trivial drawing of he and I, instantly creating a Magical Moment and my heart leaps and my vibration is high. And then I watch my vibration as I lose patience when he is trying to make an "S" and writes it backwards. He needs more practice at it, that is all. And here I am doing the very thing that would keep him from practicing it. My disapproving way. THAT is what I need to work on the most. And I've got all day with him. Fortunately, i do manage to breeze through his morning lessons so he could be totally ready by the time we do his Zoom call with his class at 11 AM. I even got PE done, both online and by doing our morning break sprint down the hall. I must say THAT little exercise breaks my little routine too. 
The Classroom 4 Zoom call is starting to feel routine as well. All the kiddos hopping on a call. Dylan Ji showing his "homework" that clearly his older brother did for him. [What's the point in that I ask?] I felt proud though that Johnnie did share is stagbeetle drawing of his insect, along with the poem that Lisa told me they took hours to write. I will admit that the competitive dad in me came out and I was aware of my own thoughts... [Hah Johnnie stuff is better than all you other kids!!] But that is for me to work on. Call done in an hour, now a part of the Thursday routine. After which I have to decide what Johnnie will feel like eating for lunch. Today it's pizza for him and beef chow mein for me. And later on I will go through the process again for dinner LOL.

But in the afternoon for SURE I need for Johnnie and I to go outside and enjoy the sunshine. And so we played baseball for a bit. I want Johnnie to keep his hand-eye reflexes sharp while he gets used to his new toy bat. And it isn't such a toy after all. More like the same bat real Little Leaguers use. But Johnnie is developing a nice stroke and although he misses, when he does makes contact, it's some very nice contact. My little boy is growing up quite nicely physically I'd say. With that I cruise through the afternoon until the Huddle meeting and for dinner, Johnnie decided he'd be ok if we went to get those chicken strips from Carl's Jr. And if we did that, then I'd have to get the Impossible BBQ burger as well don't I? Tonight at my request, Lisa called me when she got home from her bike ride and so I dropped Johnnie off around 7-ish. Of course Lisa would be there entertaining a couple of people. Some new staff from her office she had gone bike riding with. Strange that enough time has passed that I actually don't know most of her staff anymore. But that is also a normal thing. Of course Lisa forgot to introduce me and immediately put Johnnie as the center of attention, which was just fine with me anyway. I drove down the street and proceeded to finish my steps for the day. Up and down Maplewood Elementary school as a change of scenery. And by the end of the evening I finished with another call to Jodi. For now I'm just seeing where this goes. Way too early to see. But I'm still willing to explore. And I'm happy that she too is interested. And that will be ok for now. And so it was that I went to bed happy that I think I did pretty well with the Johnnie barometer. Meaning I did accomplish my intention of having a nice day with my son. Everything else is gravy.
