Notes (Part II)

Alhamdulillah, Nusayba also writes us sweet notes :)

She said the sad face wasn't supposed to be there--I'm going to gladly believe her!

Abdurrahman and books

Abdurrahman has developed interest in books, but it's quite amusing to watch :) He grabs a book from the shelf, sits down and flips through it, closes it and grabs another. He chooses another location in the living room and repeats. I took all these shots (except the last one) in the same sitting. He just kept going from one corner to the next.








He's developed an attachment to one particular book, a version of The Three Little Pigs. Every night I tuck him into bed and leave the room. Two minutes later he's calling me back and requesting, "qisa-tha'lab-maktaba" (story-wolf-bookshelf)...of course I oblige!

Notes (part I)

Not sure how much I'm looking forward to this stage of Nusayba's development.

She wrote a note and handed it to me a few days ago--right after we had a little disagreement.

"No talking to Ummi today"

Nusayba's First Blood Test

At her annual physical after turning 5, the doctor ordered Nusayba's first blood test!



On the way home when I was trying to explain to Nusayba the idea that we can donate blood to those who may have suffered blood loss. She was very concerned with the blood donors and if/how/when the blood would be returned to them?! :)
