Sweet girl

Nadia is off school today until friday for the thanksgiving break. I was making the sandwich for Ammar's lunch.... and Nadia talks to me.

Me: "Nadia, did you hear those bad boys upstairs ?" (teasing... and hearing those noisy "boys" upstairs)
Nadia : "Yeah... and do you know who is nice ?"
Me : "who ?"
Nadia : "Me. I am a nice girl, and my mom is really nice mommy. I am so lucky to have her as my mommy"

6 year old molar

Nadia starts to sprout her 6 year old molar. She is 5 years 7 months and I start to feel the cusp of her tooth #3 (upper right first permanent molar) out of the gum. The left, and bottom ones are big budge....

She has been running fever, only at night, since Saturday, and I am worry sick because there is no signs of runny nose, cough, sore throat, ache, only high fever. If she is not getting better tomorrow, they want to see Nadia at the pediatrician's office. As of today, she has not gone to school for 2 days now.

the school with homework

I enrolled Nadia at the Sunday school at the mosque. Today is the second week.
Me: "Nadia, go get ready, you are going to school today."
Nadia : "Mommy, is it the school with homework ?"
Me : "yes, sweetheart!"
Nadia : "I haven't memorize the homework yet."
Me: "I will help you up."

Nadia's currently enrolled at the Private Montessori Kindergarten, the Montessori method doesn't give homeworks to the students....

hehe

Go to the office

Ammar has been longing to bring his little princess to his office. Today is the last week before Nadia goes to Kindergarten, and also his light day (no clinics), paper work day in the morning.
So, off she goes with her daddy, excited, because her daddy also wanted to teach Nadia how to use microscope at his office.
Have fun Nadia. I will pick you up with Aidan at the hospital and straight to have fun in the pool.

Love,
Mom

Quite an artist

I see close similarity between Nadia and her cousin, Zhara, daughter of my belated brother. Zhara is also Pisces, her birthday and Nadia's are very close to each other.
Zhara is very talented artist, she won a whole bunch of trophies in any drawing competitions. She also is very smart, always the first in her class. I saw her report card when I came to visit her, it was a jaw dropping, from all the subjects, she only had the lowest of 88 in sports, the rests are above 90.
She is also prays 5 times a day, ... anyway, looking at her, it's like a dream of every parent wants their child to be.

Nadia is a wonderful kid, she has been since she was born, but she is not perfect.

Lately, I have seen some resemblance of her drawing talent towards Zhara's talent. She loves to draw under the breakfast table in our great room, and she colored perfectly with pastel, and instantly, the drawing reminds me of Zhara's.

It's holy month... I will pray for what it takes that Nadia grows up to be like her....

I love you so much, Nadia.. for me you are perfectly imperfect that I wouldn't trade you with anyone else in this world.

First lose baby tooth

Just right before she lost her first baby tooth!

Lose Tooth

Nadia is almost 5.5 and she told Miss Andrea, her baby sitter that she has lose tooth when they were playing at the tree house.
Miss Andrea came back home and told me about it. I checked on her tooth, and found the tooth number 66 came lose, and her new tooth was pretty big compares to the older one it will be replacing soon.

Wow, my baby is getting bigger!

Quip

We went to pick up strawberry at the strawberry farm. Nadia and Sam had wonderful time picking the berries together while Aidan was busy eating the strawberry and making strawberry mustache.
Sam never wanted to try strawberries, but Nadia made him try... and he loves them.
We found funny shapes of strawberries and they tasted so good.
Nadia : "Hey, I found this Daddy strawberry.. it's hairy!!"

half japanese

Nadia has been very interested in her racial root.

Ammar and her went to the store, she talked to the cashier and said :

"Hi, my name is Nadia. I am 4 years old, but I am going to be 5 soon. My mom is from Indonesia and my daddy is Syrian, and I AM half japanese."

Such a sweet little girl

Nadia, the more she grows up, she turns out to be such a sweet hearted girl. She would help me out with the diapers, emptying the dish washer, folding laundry, or just kiss me every time I hurt myself. She always says : "You are the best mommy in the whole world!" 

She loves her little brother and always says how sweet Aidan is and how much she loves him.

She loves to write a love letter for her daddy. Her hand writing is rather good, and she loves drawing and playing make believe.

Sometimes I am amazed to see how she grows to be a very cute little girl. I don't consider myself pretty, cute maybe, but not pretty, but Gosh, every time I see her, she looks very pretty.

I hope God will help her, protect her, and bless her whole life. 

She is a precious little girl and I am so blessed to be her mommy, I am so glad that God picked me to spend my time with her, and trust me to take care of her. 

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, MY LITTLE PRINCESS
