Ceal's World.

I asked Ceal to smile for a picture and this is what I got. Below was the second picture I tried to get. Then check out the picture her father asked her to smile for...Really?

How does this happen? Danny says, "Ceal will you smile for me?" And boom, she smiles.

Ceal is particular about what to wear, and she does NOT want any help. So there are days we leave with a bowtie. There are days we leave with our shirt backwards. Most days we leave with shoes on the wrong feet. But she feels confident, and I can't break that so...I have that kid at Target.

Ceal does not lack in the personality department. I laugh a lot. We go to time out quite often. She is a peach most days, and still loves to nap and go to sleep at night. I just can't get enough of my Cecilia.

We go to the library once a week for books. She loves getting books, and reading them all week.

We go to My Gym, a gym for little tykes, and work it out for an hour. She LOVES it there. Parents have to be there too, so I get to wear the good backpack with Sebastian. That is my work out.

Ceal hides everything. "Ceal, where are Sebastian's toys?" "Ummm, maybe behind the curtains." Why?

She says she is frustrated a lot. Then says she is sorry she was frustrated. I wonder where she got that from.

"Can you be quiet please? I'm on a call. Yeah, hey it's Dan. I'm just playing in the basement. HAAAAAAA. Okay well got to go, Bye." That was Pop and Nana. Ceal talks on her pretend phone with these conversations.

Ceal has an invisible friend that only comes out at dinner. Her name is Marm, which happens to be her grandmother's name. She feeds her and tells me if Marm liked her dinner or didn't. Ceal hoards Sebastian's baby food and feeds Marm and sometimes Steve in her book room.

Ceal is very sensitive. She cries if she sees someone else crying. If there is a page in the book where a kid fell or is crying she can't get over it.
