Pippin and Cecilia's Log

[Breezysaurus Rex]

Dear Diary,

Raising a child is much more difficult that I anticipated. When I received that letter and saw Pippin, I was in love. Some people don't believe in love at first site, but this was it. Though I do suppose it's a bit different since it's a child and not a lover... oh well you get the idea.

I'm doing the best I can, I really am. I try to make sure he gets everything he needs, he's fed well though he's still such a frail boy. I take him out, he gets plenty of sun and such. I've tried to teach him myself, assisting in his education as much as I am able (which, mind you, is not very much). We decided on a tutor, for I wouldn't want him to lose something because I couldn't teach it to him correctly. Though I do work on manners with him, and social skills and such. All of the practical things in life you don't need a degree to teach properly I manage to handle alright.

It's just, I wonder if I'm doing enough still. I have no child rearing instincts, though I certainly have enough love for him. I constantly wonder if I'm doing this right, it's so hard to do all alone. My own parents are far too busy for guidance, and I hate to bother most people.

One thing that gives me hope is his friends. He already has a few, and I'd like to say I've made friends through them as well. Some of the parents are quite enjoyable, and some are even cute~!

But enough about me, Pippin seems to be doing extremely well. I feel like once he's been dragged outside he ends up enjoying himself, and likes the company of others. He talks about a select few all of the time, it's so exciting! I'm just so thankful every time he smiles and tells me about what he did today, it's such a relief to know he's a happy young boy.

I can't wait for him to grow older, though the thought scares me. I wonder how my little boy will be when he's all grown up. He already grows so fast, it's exciting yet sad all at the same time. I'll miss the little boy with the oversized headwings and huge glasses, but I know it will happen eventually and whatever he chooses to do with his life will be great.

I have so much faith in my boy, and he's so cute to boot. I wonder what I would have done without him, how different things will be, but then I look back and say "No! Don't think about it! Because without him life would undoubtedly not be as good." did that even make sense? Oh dear, well, it did to me~

Excuse the seriousness of most of this, I know I'm usually much more bubbly, but, well my diary, this is why you're here. So I can tell you the things I have nobody else to tell. You're doing your job quite well I should say. Thank you~! <3

Love,
Celi Lafayette

It would be on a Saturday that you open your mail box (if you have one) and notice there is a rather thick envelope stuffed in there. There is no postage stamp and a very vague return address. But you recognize the font and the company's name. 'Seven of Seven Inc' scrawled in majestic font across the upper left hand corner. As you open it, you may strangely find yourself drawn to the letter, there is a mass of notes inside. They read as follows:

Letter

Congratulations! You have managed to succeed in raising your child. (IE: Not killing him or her or getting killed yourself. Haha we kid of course.) We would like an update from you on the following:

Guardians Name:
Child's Name:
Sin:
Virtue:
Gender:
Current Attitude:
Likes:
Dislikes:
Any abnormal growths: (if any, example: Feathers molting, horns growing larger, scars )
Current hair style:
Current clothing preferences:
Dominant celestial trait: (The sin or virtue)

Please summarize in your own words how difficult or easy it was taking care of your child. Did you manage to care for them in a kindly fashion? Or were you forced to discipline them?
As well do not be alarmed if you suddenly find your child achieving a massive growth spurt in the next little while. We are finding that the children from our facility have strange growing patterns and are rather unpredictable. Although please let us know if anything unexpected occurs.

Sincerely the technicians from Seven of Seven Inc.

Ps. Please just leave your letter back in your mail box one you have completed it our courier will pick it up.

Thank you.

You would notice the letter seems overly friendly...strange since the scientist were so ...cold before.

(Just take the from Guardians name to Dominant Celestial trait and pm it to the mule, the summarization doesn't have to be long just have fun with it.)

Dear Diary,

My little boy is growing up! My sweet, sweet baby has been more social in the last few months than he's ever been, and let me just say I'm very proud of him. I always wondered if he would be a... shut in? He was always so quiet, I honestly wondered how he would deal with making new friends and meeting new people.

Now I think that worry is starting to subside, seeing him playing with so many new friends. Of course he does have some he is closer to than others. He refers to Europa as his older sister, and Vali as his best friend. It's touching really, how close he's gotten with them. Though still I sometimes wish he was more of a social butterfly, able to flutter through all of the crowds and remain peaceful the entire time. I think it could get him very far in life really.

But, at least he's making progress, coming out of his shell and talking to more people rather than sitting in the corner with his nose in a book like he used to (though on certain days he still does). But, hopefully he'll be throwing parties and become a wonderful host. Not to brag, but many people say I do throw great parties, and I think it would be nice if eventually they said that about my son as well.

To be quite honest being a parent is a lot harder than I could ever have anticipated. I love him, I really do, which means I always want the best for him. I'm always afraid I'm going to screw up, make him unhappy or something. A few things put my mind at ease though, having friends with children such as Tony makes things a bit easier to handle.

Not only that, but when I see him smiling when he plays with other children, it's such a relief really. He's such a sweet boy, and seeing him happy honestly means the world to me...

BUT enough with the sappy, I'm in such a cheerful mood! The other day Eurie babysat him and Tony and I went out to dinner! It was like one of those breakthrough moments in life, where I realize he really is starting to grow up! I'm sure that sounds strange, but it's oh so true. I had never left him with a babysitter before, and I just know that Europa was the perfect person to leave him with! <3

He's also very close to Vali, he has been ever since they were younger. For some reason they bonded quickly, and I love how they're still friends. Vali is such a sweet boy after all! And is mother is quite nice as well.

I'm planning on having a big party for him when he ages again, it would be his first big one in our house. I think it'll be a big breakthrough moment for him, almost a coming of age thing where he gets to have all of his friends and be a host for the first time. Of course I'll take on much of the responsibility of setting it up, can't have my sweet boy stressing on his birthday. <3

It will be at our house I'm sure, and I'll spiff the place up and all. I'm sure he'll love it, it will be top of the line. Only the best for my boy. We'll invite everyone he knows, then maybe he'll see how many friends he has and how popular he has the potential to be~! Anyways, I'm sure it will be a blast. But for now, it's shower time~!

<3 <3 <3
