Literal leen

While we were in the car this morning on our way to my cousins house...leen was sitting in the middle of the back seat with safety belts strapped. While taking turns she tumbles over to the sides. So she keeps on complaining " ana ba2a3". So her dad told her the next time i take a turn i will tell u "3ashan temskey nafsek".

The next turn came and he told her "yalla hanlef..emseky nafsek" so i turned to look how shes doing so only to find her holding her leg down with her hand...we maska nafsaaaha...looool. couldnt stop laughing.

These kids are hilarious

Bionic Memory.

While we were in sharm shopping... and while my sis was bending over looking at something... leen passed by and slapped her on the butt. Heidi (my sis) could not belive it and scolded her.

When her daddy interrogated her and tried to understand why she did that... she told him that she saw him slap me on the butt in the kitchen at her grandparents place.

That incident was months ago. We couldnt believe she could remember that...

It also means that we should REALLLLY be careful what we do ALL the time around her. Loooool

U cant forget

Last thursday in sharm we went to the pool. Me heidi mhmd and the kids. The pool had a baby section separated by a couple of tile blocks from the adult pool. Kids can easily walk from one pool to another. But ofcourse they had their arm floaters on at all times.

Leen wonders independantly in the pool. She moved from here to there.

A couple of minutes later while chatting i saw mohamed gasp looking in leens direction. As i looked towards her i saw her carrying her floaters and coming towards us from between the tile blocks holding the floaters for us to take. I screamed  out telling her to stay where she is and not come but it was just useless. She kept on moving and we all swam towards her.

Ofcourse it took us a couple of secs to get there but i saw her slide in the deep end and start drowning. She was peddling so hard to get her face out but it was useless.

Heidi was the first to get ot her and pulled her up.  Ofcourse she started crying and freaked out and wanted the floaters on her arms as soon as possible. She wouldnt let anyone touch the floaters once they were on her.

She was fine. But i must admit it is scary to think what if no one saw her... what if the pool was bigger.... its soo scary to remember that scene. Sooo scary.

Latest game

Leen's latest game is playing "Doctor'. The good version :)

She takes one of my hair bands puts it on top of her head to her ears and then takes one of her old pacifier chains and attaches it to her self and starts moving it on us as if she is examining us.

She checks our ears our mouth our tummy chest and back with her hand made doctors stethescope.

And of course she makes sound effects when she wants to give us a shot.

so cute. love her make pretend.

First Joke

Today while Leen was on the potty calling out and saying " KHALAAAAAST" as usual so i went to her and was joking and saying like the masra7eya "ana geit shah2a ya ramadan".

So she said " Enty Ramadan?" So i smiled and said "Yes".

To which she replied " Wana Shawwaaal"

Loooool i couldnt believe me ears. She obviously didnt mean to make a joke. Its just the relevance of the word to what she learned in the nursery.

But to me, it was the joke of the day.

Right now... she went to her dad and told him "ba7ebak". Keda out of the blue. He just asked me if shes upset with me and hence winning him over. But i said no.

So he said "Ba7ebbek ya leen" and she replied.. wana kaman ba7ebak. Ana ba7ebak awi"

I know mohameds heart flutters when he hears her say that... especially when its not followed by " i want chocolate" or" enta 3andak bonbony?"

LOOOL. Adorable.

Smart Alec

It was a couple of weeks ago when we went to my inlaw place. Uncle khalil..leens grandpa was playing with her. So she sat in my lap and everytime he approached she would cover her eyes. Then he would say"wheres leen?? Does anyone see her?" And when she uncovers her eyes he says " ooooh there she is". She was having so much fun.

Then i said. " leen..do u really think we cant see u when u cover up ur eyes? Ok let me try" so i cover up my eyes and ask her "hey leen... can u see me like that?" And she instantly replied... "No" :)

I laughed my head off. She knew what i was aiming for... but nothing i do will ruin her fun :)

We just kept on doing it then :)
