Trip to MacDonalds

We were at MacDonalds yesterday with my husbands brother and his little family. The kids wanted to go and play in those weird colorful tubes and slides they have.

Leen thought she could give it a try and went in with her older cousins.. 8 and 10 year olds. She had to have someone obviosuly coz some of the tubes were steep and others had high connections she couldnt get over alone.

As soon as they went in and passed the first spacei can see them through, Shahd asked her brother ahmed... Hey... where's Leen?.. Their mother and i looked at each other and laughed.

Then ahmed said.. i dont know... wait ill look for her.. and the shahd said oh oh i found her khalas.. shes with me now! :)))))

It was truly a very comforting conversation :)

i went back to my table and then shahd got her back coz she was crying to get out! Not really crying just demanding!! :)

Anyway she wanted potty.. so we went to the toilet where we waited for auntie to come out of the toilet. She kept on singing and counting the squares on the walls until auntie came out. And leen asked me... heya esmaha eh? whats her name... so i said i dont know... we can ask her when we go out.

Meanwhile while she was on the potty, someone else came in and wanted the stall. (yeah its one stall). So i told leen... yalla hurry up coz auntie wants to use the toilet. so she looked at me in an inquisitive way and said @bas heya 3amalet khalas".... So i said "no de taunt tanya" and she said " aaaa taunt tanya...esmaha eh?"

hehhe i said u can ask her when we go out of here too just get it over. :)

And that was the conversation between a mother and a 2.5 year old. Not so bad.. there is a conversation.

I sometimes feel she grew up so quickly even if she is just 2. She sits in a normal chair like ours... she eats her potatoes and drinks her juice... she is just adorable,,, MASHAALLAAA we ALLAHU Akbar! :)

I love her!

My Waaaay

LAst weekend we were in SOkhna... and as usual leen wakes up so early and wants everyone else to wake up so she can play.

So she sat by my side in the ned and started singing some color song that she was taught in the nursery.

"Red and orange, green and blue, Shiny yellow purple too... blabla bla bla bla bla are the colors of the rainbow"

She went on and on with it and in the mid of me listening i was trying to figure out what the song really said. ANyway i oppened my mobile, browsed the net until i found the wording.

Then i started correcting her while she sang. She followed my directions for a while and then she put her little hand on my mouth and said "eskoty"... ie be quite.

HEHEHEH i laughed so much coz she just wanted to s ing for now and not learn anything! it was a funny way of expressing herself

Leens Latest

Two days ago... i was upset with Leen so i refused to give her any candy. So she in turn told me i was naughty and that she would tell "Athar" about me. (Athar is one of my close friends) I bet athar would be ecstatic to hear about that! :))

Leen also has a new trend now... she crosses her arms and tells me...shofty ba2a?
SHe makes me LAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!

And a couple of days ago i put some candy in my pocket to for her and her cousin at some point in the day. She heard somethign crackle in my pocket so she started snooping behind me saying.. "enty m3aky eh? m3aky eh ya mommy ha??" so i said de floos.. floos!! as in coins! And she said floooos aaaaah1!! ok
