I think I'll call the Dining Room the Diamond Room for the rest of my life...
Ceal likes to say the names of the rooms she is going to or is in for some reason.
"Bye, I'm going to the library room." Which is her book room.
Last week Ceal said, "Mommy, come watch me, I'm in the Diamond Room!"
I had to ask her again, because I couldn't understand, and sure enough she calls the dining room the Diamond Room, which is what it shall me called from now on.

The innocence of my Ceal.
I love the innocence of a two year old. I love the small things that make them so happy. I love how going to home depot is like going to Disney.
Ceal is so innocent. She is asking so many questions lately. She tells me it makes her "kinda sad" when I ask her to clean the book room or help fold the laundry. I can't help laughing, giving her a kiss, and then making her clean the book room.
Her imagination is so fun. We do not watch T.V. during the day, so when I am off cooking or cleaning, she has to think of all the different things to do. At first I always felt she must be so bored, or I need to give her something to do, but then I started watching her make things up.
I just love two years old. She will be three in July, and I hope this innocence continues for a long time.
She just saw a picture of her friend, Taylor, whom she prays for every night. Taylor had on a mask on the playground, because she is fighting cancer. Ceal said, "Mommy, I want a mask. Please mommy, I want one. Taylor is so cute, Mommy." Taylor is beyond cute.
I have been telling Ceal all I can about Taylor. She asks about her often, because we pray often. Then we went to Drew's (Taylor's cousin) house today, and Ceal said, "But Taylor won't be at Drew's mommy?" And I said, "Not today Ceal, but soon, very soon."

"I'm feeling kinda sad."
Ceal will say, "I'm just feeling kinda sad," just loud enough so that I will hear her from the kitchen. I know just where to walk and find her as this is her stair when feeling sad.I ask, "Why are you feeling sad Ceal?"
Ceal says, "My friends can't go camping, and that kinda hurts my feelings."
I am puzzled at what to say at this point. So I say, "Well I am sorry, but you can help me and brother fold the laundry."
She comes in a couple of minutes later...

And says, "Bye mommy, I'm going camping with my friends. I am so happy."
A giggle a day...
Keeps the doctor away...I wish.
Ear infection meds...Sebastian hates these meds. Ceal loves them. She cried and said she too had an ear infection, so PLEASE give her some amox. I had to give her water in the medicine dispenser.

My Ella.
This is Ceal with her bestie, Ella. They are goofy all day long even when I turn on a show for them. Ella's mom is one of my best friends, Courtney. When Ella was born, I remember holding her and being in shock that my best friend had such a beautiful baby girl. Courtney was brushing her hair on the day she was born. I absolutely love her. Then I had Ceal, and her and Ella played together since Ceal could walk. Now Ceal asks her to come over everyday. Ella is a year older than Ceal, so Courtney always laughs that if Ceal gets in trouble for something, go to Ella first. They will be quite the adventure for Courtney and I.

Spring Fun!
Cealy loves to read. Her book room is on the main floor so we are in there most often. She acts out scenes from her favorite books. Show her any book, and she will tell you the title, not because she can read, but she memorizes everything! The other day I heard her talking to a character while running from the rain in our house. "Dotty, don't get your polka dot dress wet, lets run!"

I feel like it's Summer!
The weather is out of this world amazing, 80 in March for weeks!!
Sebastian is big and adorable! It is hard to carry around a 23 pound baby, but he wraps his arms around my face and kisses me, and I just don't mind that I need back surgery. Ha!
He is 7 months. I cannot even believe it. I still tell everyone he is 6 months, because 7 months seems to old.
No, he doesn't sleep through the night. He gets up and screams until I come in and hold him. I usually take him in my room and sleep with him. Go ahead and tell me you would never do that, because I also said that when I had my sweet Cecilia sleeping through the night by 5 months. You will do anything to sleep by 7 months.
I cannot stand to hear him cry. He is obsessed with me, and it breaks my heart. Dan won't let me talk during his night bottle, because if I do, he bursts into tears, until I hold him. I am learning sign language to speak when others are around. If he thinks I am in the house, screams of terror come roaring out of this child. I love it.
The chunk is not crawling, and cannot sit up completely yet. We need to work on the core of Sebastian. Oh how I love this child. He makes having a boy absolutely necessary in life.
My Ceal gets more fun by the day. Kenzie left for Switzerland, and she happens to be Ceal's best friend, so I get to be the stand in while Keke is gone. She really said to me the other night, "You are my best friend mommy, but when Keke gets back, she is my best friend." Thanks.
Ceal tells me she loves her daddy about 30 times a day. "I just love my daddy, do you?"
Cealy is painfully shy. It breaks my heart. She will run around and talk your ear off at home or at my sisters, mom's house, or Pop and Nana's. I took her to a birthday party last weekend, and she didn't say a single word the entire time we were there. Not a single word. She watches little kids play, and she loves to play, but she is just so shy.
Ceal is the absolute sweetest sister in the whole world. If Sebastian is crying she runs over to him and makes sure he gets whatever he needs. She always tells him she is there, and everything is okay. I just love it.
If any child cries in class or near her on the playground, she can't stop thinking about it. She talks about it all day long. Sometimes she cries too. Today one of her friends came over, fell and started crying. Ceal cried with her. She was so sad her friend was hurt. Cealy is the most sensitive child. She is just so special.
Now let's not get ahead of ourselves. I certainly have my moments. I want to pull my hair out at night when Sebastian is screaming and I can't put him down. Cealy is demanding, and wants to be played with. Today I told her to watch herself, and do you know she said, "You better watch yourself." I rattled the house with how hard I walked to get her and place her in time out.
Ceal locked Dan out of the house last week. I went running with my mom, and Dan went out to the garage to throw the trash away and boom Ceal bolted the door. Sebastian was inside on the ground. Dan had to call his dad for keys and talk to Cealy through the garage door. He told her she would get a sucker if she unlocked the bolt. A couple seconds later, Ceal unlocked the door, and said "Where's my sucker?" This kid is too funny.
