This makes me teary-eyed thinking about when my baby-who's-not-a-baby-anymore was born. And becoming a new big sister is a great reason to have ice cream!

This is so cute! I snorted out loud when I got to Merv's ride on the rubber duck so he could have a bath with Cece. I'm glad I wasn't drinking at the time!
Author's Response: Vampiric Blood, so nice to hear from you! I am glad you're enjoying. The rubber ducks thing I pulled straight from my own 4-year-old self...I'm glad it worked!

I just wanted to let you knowI have had to read this again, because it was so deliciously cute. You really do havethe four year old down!!!
17 is old...oh, I love when kids think anyone over 12 is OLD. The way they think is jus so innocent and cute, and you really have captured how I imagine Cece to be :)
Moreeee please
Author's Response: Awww, HH! You're toooo sweet! I am SO happy you like this and I will try to update asap!

I am in love with this story. You are doing a fabulous job of getting in CeCe's head, and the small child POV is so refreshing. Please continue - can't wait 'til she meets the new baby. Favorite line so far:
Then I show Anna my goldfish Merv and tell her how sometimes I feed him real goldfish that I eat for snacks instead of his flakes.
This is so what a kid that age would do. Adorable!!!
Author's Response: Thanks, Jazzfan! It's hard to write from a child's POV but I'm glad it's working for ya.

Kaat, this is incredibly sweet and I do hope you continue with it. There are so many little moments that not only are spot on for the characters but actually remind me a little of my childhood as well. Fantastic job! :)
Author's Response: Why thank you, spaceorphan! update is coming!

Very much Yay. Cece is so cute and the way you have written her is exactly how I imagine she'd be. It's so cute seeing something like this from her POV.

Oh my goodness! This was so sweet I want to lick it :D I love all the silly and happy and cute and delicious. May I have another scoop, please?
Author's Response: Comparing my story to ice cream - now THAT is the highest compliment! Digging some more stuff out of my freezer as we speak. :)

Well, I love Cece's recount of the Halpert's bedtime ritual, it's just the sweetest thing! And I'm not sure why, but imagining Jim crying the most when Cece was born made me love him even more lol This is so precious, and you've really got down pat what a four year old sounds like when they talk. This is so adorable I read it twice! My favorite snippet is when Cece says 'Anna is 17, that's old.' How true of a four year old to think that way! Hope there's more on the way soon!
Author's Response: aww Deedldee, thank you! I am so honored you've read this twice. :) I totally love the Jim crying the most thing too. More's coming!

i'm really loving this. it really reminds me of the junie b. jones books, the way it's written in "kid form".
“Is it totally totally 100% completely truly real?”
“I'll try my best. Do you ask Daddy those questions every time?”
“Yes I do. I need to know what's happening.”
that made me lol!
Author's Response: hahaha JUNIE B! I loooooved those books, so what a compliment, Flonkertonchamp!

Loving all the little details. The hiding place under their bed was somehow so vivid. The puppy, how sad! But she's fine because now there's Merv! And "real story or pretend story"-- I love that and can totally see that being Jim's ritual with her.
So cute! Keep it coming, I love it. :)
Author's Response: Thanks, callisto! it's been great to tap into my own childhood - I used to do half the things that Cece did. I'll try not to disappoint. :)
