My own bed

At night, Nadia for some reasons doesn't want to go to bed. For the first time in her life, she went out of her bedroom by herself, checking on Aidan's room and saw me nursing Aidan, she told me she was thirsty. I asked her to go to my bedroom to see her daddy and have a drink. She came to her daddy. After I finished nursing and tuck Aidan to sleep, I checked on her. She was ready to bed (in our bed) with us. I slept next to her.
She doesn't usually want to sleep with us, she loves her bed so much. I sometimes miss cuddling with her in my own bed, Ammar has the same thought, too. So we agreed that she is sleeping with us tonight.
After 3 minutes lying down together.. she sat up, and she whispered to her daddy and said : "I want to sleep in my own bed, Daddy!" Ammar said : "Okay, let's go... oh.. you go yourself, you are a big girl"
Nadia : "No, you take me. I am scared"
Daddy : "Okay, I will come with you."
They left to Nadia's bedroom. I am laughing myself, thinking that I will never have my daughter sleep with us.... Lucky ? I guess. She is such an independent girl. At least, we won't have a problem which some kids keep coming to their parents bedroom and sleep with them all the time.

Work on the yard (again)

This morning, I helped Ammar sharpened the blades of the mower to be ready starting the job cutting the grass. I got used to drill so much that Ammar trusted me with those drills.
Terri, our neighbor, asked if he could get the old mulch we are getting rid off so he can put it on his new flower bed as the base. He came with his tractor to get the mulch from us.. Nadia got so excited to see Terri and the tractor. She came and chatted with him. It was a bit cool outside so Nadia wore the teddy bear outfit.. so Terri called her Grizzly Bear. She loved to be called Grizzly.
Nadia came back home telling my mother that the grizzly bear is hungry and thirsty. My mom made her good amount of Mac and Cheese, she finished it all in no time. The time that we got home from the yard work for lunch, she had already finished her lunch and she was so proud of it.
After lunch, we got a guest, Terri's wife, June came by to see Aidan. Terri told her how much Aidan looks so big now, so she came by to check on him. We sat down in the sun room, had a nice conversation. Nadia was busy serving us food... she was so cute.
After that we walked around the grass in our yard, and Nadia picked lots of weed's flowers, and she counted them and said to me : "Look, I got lots of flower for my wedding. I am going to get married with LUCA"
(Maria, if you read this, be careful.. my daughter had crushed on Luca...."

King and Princess

Ammar got home and he kissed Nadia.

Ammar : "Hi, my Princess!!"
Nadia : "Hi, my King!!"

Today, she helped out to change Aidan's diaper.
Nadia : "Let me help, Mommy"
Me : "Can you take the buttons off, please ?"
Nadia : (grunting... ) "I did it, I am strong, Mommy. Aidan is naked"
Me : "Good, you are great big sister" (took the diaper, wiped him)
Nadia : "Euw... he smells poopy!!!"
Me : "Yes, he has stinky bump"
Nadia : "Hahaha...., that's okay, baby Aidan!"

Bath

Nadia has been taking a bath in the afternoons instead of the evenings with Daddy. I feel sorry for Ammar lately, he got home so tired from work, wakes up with Aidan in the middle of the night, doing the flower beds around the house and kills his back because of it.. so since in the afternoon I am not yet exhausted, I decided to put Nadia to bath in the afternoon right after she woke up from nap, drinking her chocolate milk in the bath tub, too. Yummy.. She loves it.

Daddy came to the bathroom, checking on her after he himself finished up his work at his office room.
Daddy : "Which one you like better to bath you, Mommy or Daddy ?"
Nadia : "Mommy.. because she doesn't pour water on my face."
Daddy : (filling up the bucket with water, pouring on her head brutally, laughing) "Like THIS ?"
Daddy and Mommy : (watching Nadia, thinking that she would get angry and scream like usual when her daddy does that)
Nadia : (out of breath, took her a while to react, and sweetly answered) : "yes"

We both laughed so hard.

Loves him!!!

Morning, enjoying the sunshine through windows, Nadia loves it when her finger is hold by the baby


Do you think we both have cute noses ?

First time dental appointment

I cannot be more proud of Nadia. She was so quiet, calm, and follow the instructions during the whole procedures, from introducing the instruments, checking her teeth, cleaning, polishing, taking x-rays, and final check up.
I can't wait for telling the whole story to Ammar when he gets home from work.
We ate at McDonalds and ate ice cream after.
I love the girl so much. The hygienist told me that Nadia's attitute towards the whole procedure was way beyond her age, she acted like she is a 5 year old. Yay Nadia.

Every body's wife

After dinner, we sat in front of the TV.

Ammar cuddled with me and gave me a kiss.
Ammar : "This is my wife." (looking at Nadia)
Nadia : (protesting) "No, She's my wife, too." (jealous)
Ammar : "No, she's MY wife."
Nadia : NOOOOO.. She is my wife. She is every body's wife!"
Me : (laughing).. "Oh, that's too scary to be every body's wife!"

Happy

 

 

It's too cold outside to play.. yes, it's April but we have the minus 5 celcius outside with snow showers on and off ... crazy!! Despite of the weather, Nadia had fun running around in the family room.

Now, enjoying the eggs

 

 

 

 

Egg hunting (part 2)

 

 

 

 

Nadia was so competitive and enjoyed her egg hunting so much this year. She got the full bucket of eggs at no time. Then she sang : "Na na na na na, I got all the eggs.. na na na na.. I win I win..."

Jungle Java

 

 

 

The new Jungle Java just opened days ago and we went today, had fun with Bella as usual. It's so big and much nicer than other kind of indoor playground around. The food was better but much more expensive. It was worth it since it is nearby. What's more, Nadia had a wonderful playdate!

April snow

 

We woke up with the snow on the ground on april 5, 2007

 

Still snowing the next day, April 6, 2007

 

He is my baby, too

Ammar called when I just finished up with Nadia's bathing. He talked to Nadia then talked to me, then I said : "Bye, baby". After I hung up, Nadia asked me : "What did you say to Daddy ?" I said : "I said bye, baby." Nadia : "Is Daddy a baby ?" I said : "He is my baby." Nadia : "He is my baby, too....."

Last night, Ammar took care of Aidan, he was fussy and I was exhausted, so he put him to bed, Nadia called him from her room. Ammar said : "I will be right there, nadia..." then after he put Aidan to bed, he came to Nadia's bed and rub her back, but then not long after, Aidan cried, and Nadia told her daddy : "Go, daddy. Go rub baby Aidan's back, too so he can go to sleep." Atta girl!!!!

Baby swing

 

 

Yes, it was Nadia's favourite swing when she was little, but now, she loved it again!!!! No, Nadia, it's Aidan's and you are too big for it...
Nadia : "It fits me, Mommy!"

I love my baby brother

Mommy, his hand is so small!!!! I am so big girl!!!!
