My daughter feels like a model since we came to Dubai early this year. People in the malls, beach or in the streets would comment on how cute she is, how lovely her curly locks are, some of them would even take snaps of her. Clearly, the people here don’t know what to do with [...]

After two months of waiting and looking out the window to see if her school bus has come, she finally got her wish.
We got everything ready last night, her new school uniform, her new socks and shoes and her old Cinderella bag (she wouldn’t want to have any other bag than the Cinderella bag!).

At 6 [...]

My little girl asked me to cut her fringes some days back and when I asked her why, she answered that because she wants to have another hairstyle. She is just 3 years and 9 months! What kind of girlie conversation awaits us in the future?
      
She obviously loved it and asked [...]

Last night, I had an exchange of intelligent discussion with my daughter. I brought home a strawberry flavoured Fruit-tella. It must have been in the bottom of my office handbag days before, can’t remember when really.
Pristine is not used to us bringing candies at home. Believe or not, she must be the only child who [...]

School term has ended to make way for the hot summer months here. To be exact, 66 days more until the bus stops in front of our building to take the little one to school again.
Since we have no out-of-Dubai vacation in our schedules this year, it’s that time of the year to plan out what to [...]

…means no worries, from the Disney Classic The Lion King.

M and I surprised our daughter last week by giving her the DVD copy of The Lion King. It’s a kid-friendly movie with lots of singing. I am sure she would love it just as she adores Ariel of the Little Mermaid.

So we played the DVD [...]

Sorry for the late post. It must be already night in some time zones. I must have kept some readers waiting and waiting until they dozed off to sleep.
Ha! who am I kidding? Readers?? my blog stats are at its all-time LOW this past few days and it is preventing me to write something…lack of [...]

As expected, there was a major happening at the movie house where the teachers took the KG1 and KG2 kids to see Shrek 3 yesterday. Pristine came home without socks, not with her usual skirt uniform but with her extra shorts on and new! undies, different from the one she wore when she left in [...]

The not-so-little-one is going to the movies. For the first time!! Sadly, she will not be going with us. No, she will not be going alone too, of course. I had to say that before you have me arrested for child abandonment.
Pristine’s KG1 class along with three teachers are going to Deira City Center to watch [...]

The time was 3pm, the party was in full swing. There were so many children, faces all lit up and happy. The moms were also there, in beautifully colored summer sun dresses. I do not know all of them and they seemed to look at me in a strange way but I did not care, [...]
