So I am entering the mothering phase where you start hearing your child tell you things that just make you want to cry. For the last few days, Cecily has had a few instances where she has totally lost it (usually when she doesn't agree with me telling her she can't do something) and cried, "I want brothers and sisters!" She still cries her huge crocodile tears, and it's seriously so dang sad to hear it! And unfortunately, it will be a while before that wish of hers will come true. (I don't think she actually considers Ainsley a "sister" yet. At least in the sense she has been using the word. I'm guessing she wants kids who can play with her all the time).
She's also been asking for a doghouse for Christmas. Now, anyone who knows me and Derrick knows that we aren't animal people. We will NEVER have a pet. We joke with Derrick's parents all the time that if their dog outlives them, he's going straight to the pound. No offense to anyone who loves animals. I think that's great. You are way better people than we are! Anyway, I'm hoping that with Cecily's doghouse wish she'll settle for a stuffed dog to put in it. That is....if Santa decides to bring her a doghouse!
Cecily went to Disney on Ice with her cousins last week. She thought it was pretty great. It's so fun to be so close to fun events like this again. That was one thing I really missed when we were in NM. Here are a few pictures of Cecily with her cousins Ashley and Ashlyn.
