Ammar went home early (yes, almost 5.30 pm is early for Ammar) today and he got Nadia from school. She didn't take a nap today, I expected her to be cranky when she got home. No.. I was wrong, she was happy as she can be, we ate dinner right away (yes, I started to cook again today), and she finished up all her mac and cheese. She also ate the brownie the student nurse brought us today, and of course a lollipop for a desert.
We have a rule ... no candy after finished up her meal.
We spent good time after wards, Ammar was goofing around with Nadia and Aidan.. he made Aidan 'walk', make him as if he can do whatever Nadia does.. Nadia went on the baby swing, pretended to be a baby... and cried like a baby, and of course, putting the pacifier, too.
At the end, we sat together, side by side, I was holding Aidan, Ammar was holding Nadia, we looked at each other, told Nadia that we are family, 2 boys and 2 girls.. no more babies, and only 4 of us. Nadia looked at baby Aidan, and smiled... No more jealousy, she definitely loves her baby brother, and she acted like a 5 year old. She just turned 3 in less than a week and her ability to understand and to act as if she is so much older than her age. She really knows what a family is, even though we have my mother visiting, she knows her family is daddy, mommy, herself and Aidan.
She also have this habit of sitting down for dinner all together, no one allowed to have a bite before everyone is sitting down together. One time, Ammar was still standing up, and he told my mother to eat first, my mom took a bite, Nadia told my mom not to have a bite until Daddy is sitting down together... what a good girl!!
