no play
Noori informed me on Sunday, "Mama, i never play with you, only Baba all the time." I said, "Oh, how come?" and she says, "'cuz you are always working"... sigh...
and today Noori is at school. So I get a chance to be a little closer to Leeboo. She tells me while i'm in the restroom (& the door is finally closed) that.."Mama, you are not bad. You are good." I say thank you....I've been yelling at them in the past few days 'cuz I don't get so many boxes packed & 'cuz Noori & Leeboo have accidents all the time (Alhumdulillah, they don't do #2... only#1)... but when I'm exhausted & for odd reason, just plain angry at no one in particular (just seem to be cross at the world...) & they start their laughing fit (where Leeboo will pick a word, recently, a silly way of saying Maryam, & they both laugh sooo hard that Noori will pee in her pants (this happens mostly to her & not Leeboo)).... anyhow, this happened recently on Sunday after I spent the entire day at mom's & did 3 loads of laundry (everytime I think of the new apt w/o a W/D, I get sooo mad at myself for giving it up so easily for my husband's wishes)... & Noori had 2 accidents at mom's and then 3rd one at home (around 8:30pm)...I transformed into a witch... oh my poor baby...

dancing tummy & sleeping tummy
Noori says yesterday after we were driving back from Pita Grill, "Mama, u know what? my tummy is dancing now." & I asked why? She says, "'cuz it's sooo happy like when i eat the popsicle!!!" & Leeboo says, "my tummy is sleeping!!"
then this morning, Noori says, while standing in front of the azan clock (she was playing with it & i told her not to 'cuz it will get khraab), "u mean, when Allah mian calls us?"
Mr. Lion is just getting naughtier by the day. The words he's saying r: mama, ba (for baba & ball), & that. & when he wants something, he'll just make so much noise until u get irritated & u have to do it!!
Leeboo is at her own stage. Luv's to scream when something unfair (as she has percieved it to be) happens. Poor Noori starts crying 'cuz it's sooo loud....
