Nadia had the best time in her life today. She woke up this morning, finding out that her "mommy froggy" (my sister, Fina) woke her up. She jumped up and hugged her and said : "Mommy Froggy!!!!!" She played with her the whole morning while Ammar and I finished up the flower beds around the house... then we cooked for the guests who wanted to come to see my mother and my sister. This guests are Swedish American family who used to live in Medan (Sumatera, Indonesia) in 1958. They had the whole world living there, and when they met us at one of the fair, we became friends. The loved the food, and they missed the food so much, we made some Indonesian dishes and they brought the deserts (yummy....!). Auntie Lisa and Uncle Bill also came from Bay City, my sister brought her some stuff left from Indonesia. Nadia had so much fun playing with auntie Lisa, Uncle Bill, Barbara (the daughter who is now a 6th grade teacher) read the books for her, and she enjoyed the gifts she got from the couple as well.
Nadia was in heaven for the whole day. She had so much fun and she looked so cute today, wearing the dress my other sister sent from Indonesia.
PS : No nap today, too!!!

Get ready to get embarassed
I promised Nadia after she took a nap, we will go out to have ice cream downtown. While she was sleeping, I went to cut the grass with the tractor. I looked at my mom's bedroom window, I saw Nadia waving bye bye, I went inside, asking why Nadia was not sleeping. She told me she saw a bug in her room. I went inside her room and she pointed out where she saw the bug. I saw a carpenter ant on one of her chair, I killed it and took it out. I sent Nadia to bed again, and she slept, for real.
We went to the ice cream parlor, eat yummy ice cream and she saw a father with a pony tail, she (which has 2 ponytails today) pointed out on him and said : "Look mommy! He has ponytail. I have ponytail, too, but my daddy doesn't have ponytail like he does." Oh no...
Then we went to the playground next to the fire house, she saw the firetrucks, then played on the playground. She instantly make friends with a 5 year old girl, Alex. She played with her as if she is her bestfriend for life.
She came to the playground with her baby brother, a 6 months old, and her mom and dad. I told her that she is a big sister too and has a baby brother, too. Nadia was so happy that she also a big sister and has baby brother.
They played on the swing, and the mother (who is very obese) pushed her daughter. Nadia watched them and told me (I was pushing her swing, too) : "Mommy, the mother is very big, and Alex is big, too (Alex is obese,too, but not as bad as her mother).
I got panic, I was frightened that they heard her... I whispered to Nadia : "Nadia, you cannot say something like that. It is not nice... okay ?"
thanks God, she got it right away... and stop talking about it...
Oh boy, oh boy... oh boy.. She is so observant and so smart... I should be careful, I think next time I will be so embarassed... just wait..
