Happy Halloween, everyone!

I took a picture of her at school when they had a parade, then paste our pumpkins as the background. Pretty cool, huh ? Well, Nadia enjoyed being a Phillipe for the whole day.

4 things

Nadia just gets so scared of anything right now. She is afraid of being alone in her bedroom, so she kept coming to our bedroom.

She talks.. talks... and talks.

One that was really really funny was :

Nadia : "Daddy, do you know things that make me healthy ?"
Daddy : "What ?"
Nadia : "Eat, sleep, jump and play, AND.... Watching TV. Those made me very healthy."

On the road

On the way to Milla's 4th birthday party, I stopped on the side of the road, just to take picture of the beautiful red maple tree.

Nadia : "Mommy, why you went on the grass ?"
Me : "The tree is so beautiful. Look at those really nice tree. The leaves are all red!"
Nadia : "It's Fall, Mommy."
Me : "Yeah, isn't that beautiful ?"

Then I started driving again.
Nadia :"Mommy, you are the best ever!!! You save our life, you took the car out of the grass!!!!"

Another conversation :
Nadia : "Mommy, when It will be snowing ?"
Me : "Another 2 months, Nadia."
Nadia : "Remember me and Daddy made snowman ?"
Me : "I remember, the snowman was so cute!"
Nadia : "And the chocolate was so good, too."
(Note: I provide them with chocolates for the snowman's eyes and buttons!!!)
She still remember!!!! It was 10 months ago and we never mentioned anything about it.

Other :
Nadia : "mommy... we live on the earth. There is so many stuff on the earth. There are cows, houses, windows, lakes, sea, whales, forests, .... on.. and.. on.. and on... and on......
(Wow, Nadia, you learned so much from school!)

Nadia is so talkative and full of imaginations, a little clown she is, I can't even remember everything she says every single day.

It's a secret

I picked up Nadia at school. Miss Andrea told me that Nadia didn't take a nap, then I got a phone call, Amora told me that he has so much work that he would come home late finishing up the paperwork (FYI, he is in service until the next weekend, when he is in service, I am in service, too... working harder than usual, taking care of the house and kids).

Aidan slept at 7 pm. I changed Nadia's pajamas, then I fed her dinner, she told me that she was tired... Great! I sent her right away to her bedroom.

I read her book, I rubbed her back and singing her sleeping song (we created sleeping song just for it, my version is a bit different than Amora's version). That's what we do every single night.
I sat in the corner of her bed, thinking that maybe she would be scared again from the leaves shadow from our house lights. Her bedroom's window has the top half moon glass window which is not covered, so Amora's house light centered to the tree up to her window, making shadows.

Nadia : "Mommy, why you sat in the corner."
Me : "I am just here to watch you so you can go to sleep right away"
Nadia : "Why you need to watch me, Mommy ?"
okay then... I thought no need to do that...
so I said : "Good night, Nadia. I love you."
Nadia : "Good night Mommy, I love you too."
When I opened the door....
Nadia : "Mommy, I am scared of the shadows"
Me : "It's not scary, they are leaves"
Nadia : "Okay"

I called Amora at work, telling him that the kids are sleeping, so he could come home and eat his supper.
I prepared meal for us. He came home 8.30 pm.
After we finished eating, I heard Nadia called her daddy from her room.

Amora : "I am tired.. should I come to get her ?"
Me : "Wow, she must be waiting for you."

Ammar went to check on Nadia.

He came back, and told me : "Nadia told me, she is hungry, she said Mommy didn't give her desert. Is it true ?"
Me : "Yes.. it's true..."
Ammar : "What should I give her ?"
Me : "Let me warm up some milk and you can give it to her."

He went upstairs and gave Nadia milk. He came back so fast, with a big smile.

Amora : "Look, she finished it so fast."
"Do you know what she said, too ? She said : "Now, Daddy, can you give me desert ? Something round and sugary ?" and I told her that I want to ask mommy first... then she said : "No, Daddy, don't tell mommy, it's a secret!!!!"

While I was cleaning the kitchen... I can't stop laughing, hearing the story...

That's a nice thing for the end of the hectic day tonight.

God Bless you, Nadia. You are such a funny girl.

Nadia's turn getting her presents

 

 

 

She got Belle's tiara, Belle's dresses.. thank you so much, Debbie.

Eid Morning

 

Nadia got so happy finding out the minute she woke up that she got Eid Present, the whole complete set of 10 horses with the stable barn.

 

On the way to Cleveland, OH with one of her horse.

Something wrong

We got back yesterday from Cleveland, OH.

On the way back home, when her daddy stopped at the gas station, filling up the tank, Aidan made baby noises, looking at Nadia who was drawing and laughing so happily.

Me : "Nadia, Aidan is talking to you. He is so happy. He likes you so much and wants to play with you."
Nadia : "Mommy, Aidan can't talk..... Hi Aidan."
Me : "Aidan can't talk, but he is trying to talk to you."
Nadia : "Mommy, there is something wrong with his brain. He can't talk"
Me : "Hahah... Nadia, there is nothing wrong with his brain. He is still a baby. He will talk when he grow up."

Eid Mubarak

Projects from school

This is how Nadia writes her name : N A I DA, I am now worry that she is dyslexic like her dad.


Miss Andrea, her school teacher gave her a kitty cat hardboard, then she has to trace it with pencil. She did a good job.


This was given to me when I picked Nadia up from school. Miss Andrea thought the coloring was amazing for a 3 year old. I agree.

Do you love me ?

Now, every time I said something telling Nadia that I don't like what she did/does, she will asked if I still love her. Of course I love her so much no matter what!... She is quite happy and said : "Daddy loves me, too Mommy!"

15 horses

There was a guy from Glass company came to estimate how much it will cost us to replace our window's glass which was broken by a bird last weekend.

Nadia : "Hi!!! Are you here to play with me ?"
Guy : "Hi... I come to see your window"
Nadia : "Oh.. it was broken.. there was a bird flying there and the bird looks like a shadow"
Guy : "Wow... what's your name ?"
Nadia : "My name is Nadia. I am 3.5 years old, when I grow up, my daddy is going to buy me FIFTEEN horses!!" Do you want to see my horse ? Her name is Sugar."
Guy : "Sure.... "

So he checked on the window, did some measurement... he walked out to the door and ..
Nadia : "Are you going to come again and play with my horse ?"
Guy : "You bet I will. You are very friendly!"
