Since last sunday 26/12/2010 we removed Leen's baby bed.
We got a bed side as a birthday gift on her birthday. So now she sleeps in the big girls bed like "Lamar" her cousin! :) Thats what she says.... big girl zay maaar?? and i say yeeees!
Anyway she was doing well the first couple of days simply coz i used to put her in it after she sleeps.
Yestrday however, she woke up while i was putting her in it and she was cryign coz she wanted to sleep on my lap. I put her for a while but then i had to do other things... and when i put her back on the bed she woke up and cried.
Her daddy intervened and took over while i tried to take a shower and prepare everythign for next morning!
ANyway eevrytime he told her good night and left her alone... she would call him and say "Papppyyyyyyyyyyy..... ta3aly" which means come!
She did that so many times he was falling apart and decided he will sleep beside her tonight. So he did and only then did she finally sleep!
I know we're gonna have a bit of a hard tiem till she adjusts to the bigh girls bed... but i think its ok! we shall handle inshalla!
Well thats all for now! My baby is getting older! :)

Almost a month away from 2
Well Leen should be turning two next Jan. On the 22nd to be exact.
Meanwhile, i think she understands alot better what i say now.
When i am upset with her and her dad asks her why mommy is upset with you she tells him.
I used to feel she was blank when it comes to why im furious... but turns out... she isnt that BLANK!
Anyway yesterday i was cleaning the house and i decided that she can help. SO i gave her a towel and sprayed glance on the table tops and TV table and told her to wipe them . She so gladly helped.. And kept on saying again.. or put water here mommy (Mayya hena mummy). :)
She was totally adorable.. and weird enough.. she actually cleaned her spot pretty well. Maybe coz her arm is just too short to go to many places instead of right infront of her. So she keeps on wiping the same spot for some time!! :)
Im having her birthday party early this year. It will be on the 24th of December since some of the family members wont be here on her actual birthday. Not to mention that fact that her cousins have exams on these days! So i thought what the hell! Lets have a party when we can!
I decided to make it a costume party so everyone will get dressed in something.. including adults. Some of the adults were so caught up in what THEY will wear... that they totally forgot about their own kids costume!! :)))))))))) FUNNY PARENTS!
Leen will be a bee. I actually got her yellow butterfly wings which dont look like bee wings at all. But arent butterflies segmented anyway? Maybe ill call her a butterfly!! It wont really make a difference to her! :)
Well thats all for now. Just thought of posting some updates before i get more caught up in the birthday arrangements.

Not yet pampers free
We've been training Leen to live pampers free at home. She is already being trained in her nursery but now im doing it at home too. And boy is it hectic!!
She's been going well with the stool in the toilet but the pee is just not working that well with her.
Anyway last saturday was the worst day. She literally peed every 15 minutes! And she says i want potty and before she moves she just pees right where she is standing. Its disgusting and alot of cleaning to do.
Ofcourse i have already covered my sofa and her fav arm chair in plastic bags.. not to mention her bed for afternoon naps without pampers. I have also rolled up the carpet in the area where she sits and placed a mat instead so she wouldnt have to sit on the cold porcelein floor.
However this last saturday was too much to handle. I screamed at her.. i even gave her a smack on the foot. I put her in her naughty spot. She more or less spent most of the day in that naughty spot.
By the end of the day i just felt there was somethign wrong!!! She is either doing this on purpose or has a bladder infection that is not allowing her to pee right or hold it in for enough time to go to the toilet.
I went to the doc the next day and he told me that if there is no fever, or pain while urination then she is probably bored or tired or just annoyed with you!
He recommended that i dont scream at her and that saying im upset and putting her in the naughty spot should be enough.
I guess i'll have to give it another shot... so i hope she get better in time coz i'm already beat!

Africa Safari Park
Last Friday we went to Africa Safari Park. We rented a minivan (11 seats) coz we were 3 families with kids :) It was a long ride to the park and Leen fidgeted like Hell. She even had to poop in her pampers which is somethign we havent done in a long time! She was kinda embarrassed and looked at me with these sleepy puppy eyes..i almost cried! :) I wouldnt carry her on my lap coz then it would squish all the poop out of the pampers and that would be the end of my fun picnic! :)
Anyway i changed her diapers and then it was time to see the animals. She saw the tiger, the monkey ( which was kinda interesting to her coz thats what we call her alot) :) She got to see the lion and the leopard... And she insisted on touching the Leopard through the security bars and we kept on pullin her away. I guess to her it was just another "BIG" cat to pat!! :)
Then we went to see the Kangarooo... and that was some other experience. She literally kept on running after the kangaroo. She fed him and hopped behind him... putting him sometimes and pinching him other times. The poor kangaroo was so fed up with her he started fighting with his other kangaroo friend!!! :))))
It was an all in all a cute trip... except....for the bus ride both ways... :)
I was SOOOO exhausted by the end of the day.. Couldnt open a single eye or move a muscle! :)
But i must admit.... Leen has really enjoyed everything about it... feeding every kind of animal... Ostrich, Gazelles, Kangaroo and Monkies.
It was totally adorable!!!
