Fire Alarms

One for the memory books: Cecily calls the light from her smoke detector her friend. She talks to him and shows him things. At first we thought she was talking to talk, then an imaginary friend, and then a ghost (especially as she only talked about "him" at night). 

Oliver used to call it the cricket because it chirped as we needed to replace the battery. He was pretty terrified of it and wouldn't slew at night because of it. 

The Language of Cecily

Frog-its: frogs

Prince: dad

Oliver-isms

"When you die will you be my angel?"

Crunching on a pickle: "Do you hear that song that I make with my teeth?"

Night-time Chats With Oliver

"Heavenly Father, please bless all the sick people in the world to get better. In Jesus name, Amen."

"I want to be a bee-keeper when I'm a kid".

"Let's make a new-robot that stings. How do we make it sting?"

"How do you make light?"

Cecily's lullaby

Rock-a-bye baby, I wanna be rocked. 

Rock-a-bye baby, I wanna be rocked. 

Rock-a-bye baby, I wanna be rocked. 

Marriage

Sneaks into our room at night.

Cecily: "I need a hug and a kiss".

Mom: "Fine, come over here".

Gives kiss.

Cecily: "We get married! Now I want to marry the baby".
