baba felshoghl = dads at work
kiko potty bravooo
3ayza didich begga = 3ayza sandwich gebna (i want cheese sandwich)
3ayza deel= 3ayza mandeel (i want a tissue)
she says so many other things... a lot of talking that i dont understand anything from except a couple of words I(if any)
This morning she said 3ayza elmo and i said later.. so she looked at the chair that her dad usually places his laptop on to check if it wasn't there to watch elmo on. And when she didn't find it she quit asking for it.
She also kicks the ball or throws it as far as she can and than shouts... goooooooon (ie goal) :)
i think she will talk very soon.

New Night and Day!
YEsterday i was sleeping over at my parents house since its closer to work and my niece goes to the same nursery Leen goes to, so we had a ride.
At night, Leen slept at 8:30pm as usual. I placed her temporarily beside my niece in bed (both sleeping) and then after an hour or so... my sister came out of the room with Leen in her arms all wide awake.
Anyway to make it short... i had a hard time putting her to sleep again coz she expected to be awake and everyone awake too including her best friend my niece who was on her 7th dream by then. She screamed and called for her a million times but i had to shut her up some way or another so she wouldnt wake the other kid too (My sister would have committed a murder hat night if Lamar woke up.. thats my niece). I put her in bed with me, let her play on my mobile and watch some video clips i had on it. Then i fed her and she went to sleep.
What a night it was, i had to wake up every bit to check that she is covered and she is still in bed and didnt fall off since its a normal double bed with no walls blocking either side:) So i would say i had tablespoon full of sleep last night!! (i admit, it wasnt a teaspoon full :))
Anyway, we went to drop the girls to the nursery (After a full of kids morning action) and this was the first time i drop her in person. Its always her dad or in emergencies her grandpa who dropped her. I took both girls while my sister waited in the car and as soon as we went in and i started leaving their hands, Leen started to scream and kick!!
Yeah i didnt see that coming especially that her best friend is with her holding her other hand!! I tried to explain that i am going to work and will be back very soon. But nothing happened.. she kept on crying and reaching out to me. The poor thing... her teacher carried her and told her whats wrong? We will play and have fun! But nothing. SO i just waved bye bye and told her i will come back soon and left.
I dont think she cried too much after that coz by the time i reached the nursery gates i couldnt hear her screams..(oh yes she is loud..i would hear it)
Anyway... it was a lovely night...and morning too. Hope her dad comes soon!!

Potty training ONE day disaster
Well it wasnt that bad..... we just had three Weewee accidents and one Kiko accident. (i felt like i had a dog and was cleanign after him)
And even though everytime i explained that when you want to go you have to sit on the potty, She nods and next thing she is peeing on the ground. Seems to me that she didint have any idea that when she gets this feeling of going something comes out. She just is relieved in some way when something happens. Coz she had the weirdest shocked look on her face when some pee runs down her leg or somethign ELSE falls out of her a$$! :)
The most positive thing she did was do it and then say "Potty"!
Anyway the whole training went down the drain coz i had to go to my parents house on saturday since her dad was travelling... and the 3rd day which was going to be a sunday and thats when her dad was going to handle her is off the list since he wont be here!
Now im not sure what to do? Should i try again next weekend? or wait for another month and try again!! I am honestly not sure. Maybe i will give it a shot next weekend even though its going to be a hectic one since it will be the first weekend in Ramadan!
Oh well lets just wait and see... maybe she will develop more smarts next weekend...Who Knows!

Potty Training Weekend
Today is Leen's first Julie Fellom 3 day potty training.
I have removed the carpets from the ground and places a small washable mat so the floor wont be cold on her now bare bottom.
I have placed the potty in the corner of the room facing the TV so she can sit on it when she wants to. I have placed her toy basket beside the rug in the middle of the room.
i have placed her seat cover on our rocking chair since she likes to sit on it alot.
i explained that when she wants to go weewee or kiko she will go sit on her new red potty.
First thing she did was go sit on it and pull her toys close to her. Now she got up and resumed her activities. I hope she understands and we have no accident today... even though its unlikely!! :) we will see!
bye for now!

Vocals & Tones
Yesterday i had the cook at home. (Yes i dont cook anymore, i have some one whos does that for me and does it so much better too) :)
Anyway, when she was leaving she waved to Leen saying " bye ya Looloo" to which leen waved back and said "Bye loooloo" in the same tone! :)
Then at night her dad was trying to convince her to take a shower so he told her ya leen lets go and tartash (ie splash in the water) Only then did she run to the "ammam" (7ammam) waving her hands beside her in a splashing motion saying "tuttush tuttush". And while her dad gave her the shower, she started imitating every sound he makes... Some are too vocal to be written!!! :) We are obviously a very vocal family!! :)
ANd its so funny when she pukers her lips to make this "Vooo" sound!! :) Its so adorable you wanna bite her!
Lately ive shown her a video of elmo in sesame street with India Arie singing "ABC". Man her voice is amazing. I just love listening to her put some real tune in that song. So leen now says..." 3ayza emmo bc" (3ayza Elmo ABC). And it is so cute to see her try to say abc with the song just mouthing without any sound! Looks like she wants to make sure she can say it on her own first before she can show off! :)
And when the adan (call for prayer) is heard, Her daddy has this SW on his Laptop that plays the Adan on prayer time too and shows a picture of the Ka3ba.. So she goes to listen to it and says adan Abbar (ie Adab Allahu Akbar) and she puts her hand to her mouth like she is calling out for prayer! :)
And when her daddy points to the ka3ba and tells her this is the ka3ba she says "Bagga?" :) Yeah, thats what she heard when he said ka3ba obviously!!! :)
She just surprises us everyday now with somethign new. Its so fun to watch....Fazee3a!

Back to Nursery!
Leen has been with us at home for the past 6 days since she had diahrrea and cough.
She was better yesterday so we decided to send her back to the nursery and go to work.
Her dad drops her every morning and she is usually a happy child going to the nursey since she knows she will have fun and play.
This morning however, She cried her eyes out.. kicked and screamed and called for her daddy and kept on saying "ta3ty" (mine mine), Her dad being what belongs to her and what she doesnt wanna part with.
Her daddy called me when he left and he was so sad and devasted that he had to leave her while she called for him like that. Poor Guy! I know how that must feel.
But I'm sure she will be fine when she sees her playmates and the toys again!...
I sure hope she wont have this tantrum as a habit from now on and that this is just coz she's been home for a week.
Oh man...i miss her already... and i know that her dad is yearning to pick her up!

Latest couple of words
Aoo= alloo (on the phone)
looni= caniloni
malan=laban
basha=basha (like her dad says)
maaba= merabba (jam)
baya= kobbaya (glass)
noo while waving her finger in a No motion. Now that's funny! :)
