Cuteness in Anecdotes

Last Monday, we were having lunch at my aunts place. And while Leens daddy was talking he was imitating someone who is spitting. The Leen came up and started yelling at him and telling him "Teffy 3alaya???" (Are you spitting at me?) "Teffy tany ABADAN" (NEVER Spit again), "3eib, ghalat" (Thats inappropriate and wrong), "2oooly sorry (Say you're sorry).

So we all stood there wide eyed... holding our laughter as best as we can.... and her dad said I'm Sorry. And she replied "OK, malesh" (Meaning youre forgiven).
Then we all laughed our heads off!!

As for every other day when she wants me or her dad to sit with her in her room while she plays, she comes up to us and says "emseky 2eedy" (ie hold my hand) so we do. Then she says "2oomy, ta3aly barra" (ie get up and come out). She means go inside the room but she has a problem with go out and come in coz when she is in our room we always tell her to get out. :) I think it could get confusing!! :) Her dad can never tell her no when she does that. He HAS to go to the room with her no matter what he is doing! She is so charming sometimes! :)

Then yesterday while i was on the computer and she sat on my lap, i was saying its cold... I'm cold. So she started asking "bardana mummy?" (are you cold mummy?) so i said yes its cold... so she said "wreeny?" (ie show me!) and she held my hand and started pressing on it like i do when i wanna check on how cold her fingers or hands are. :) and then she said "malesh mummy" (its ok mummy).

She was so cute!!! SOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!! :)

Latest Snap Shots

This is Leen in her birthday butterfly wings.

She refused to wear them on her actual day but volunteered to try them on her PJs.

This is Leen enjoying the slide that came to her from Grandpa Atef and Grandma Heba as a birthday gift.

She is obviously having a blast on the "z7eee2a" as she calls it :)

This is Leen back from the nursery. Still dressed in her cute overalls. Thanks to Aunt Heidi for the value added cuteness

Did i not mention this??!

I totally forgot to mention the new milestone in Leens life since around 19 December 2010 or so.
Leen is no longer breastfed!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!
Yaay for me more than her ofcourse! :)

She now drinks milk in the glass like big girls! :)

Every now and then she says "3ayza malan" pointing to me but i tell her do u want milk in a glass and she says no "3ayza malan bas" and i say no there is no more milk here.... we only drink milk in the glass coz we are big girls.

Then she remembers that and says ok "3ayza malan fokkaya" :)

It is indeed a milestone and an important event in our lives. No more shirt tugging in the street or any of those embarrassing moments! :)

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! :)

Parenting...Sucks sometimes!

We are still potty training Leen till now. But right now she just needs to pee in the toilet more than pop. She got the poop right al7amdulella.

when she pees in her pants i put her int he naughty corner as usual. So the last time i did that and when the 2 minutes were done i told her to get up and pick her toys and put them back in her toy basket.

so she diligently stood up and started gathering her blocks in their box and the teddy bears and other toys in their toy basket.

Then and to my surprise she went back alone and sat in the naughty corner.

At that point i was literally gonna cry. I felt so bad for her. But she got it coming... Yest she did!

Parenting can sometimes be so difficult! :(
