Chihuahua Style

My rather sheltered 11-year-old sister came home from school (she walks home since the school is right there) and this is the conversation that ensued: 11-year-old sister: OH MY GOSH! I need to tell you something! Me: Okay. 11 yo

Aiman Says

“Here ya go” I handed Aiman two cookies. “Oh! Thank you mom!!” We sat on the couch together, watching yet another episode of She-who-shall-never-ever-be-named (Dora). He observed the cookies for a while before looking up at me to ask if

That Warm Funny Feeling

Potty train is a dirty (compound?) word around here. There are aspects of parenthood that I completely dread, and potty training is tied at number one on that list, along with sleep scheduling. Co-sleeping, bottle-weaning, tantrums, being bathed in vomit–I

Out of the Mouth of Babes

Short and sweet conversations with the cousins. Cast: Adnan -4 years old. Well I think he’s 4. He could be 3. Don’t say anything, I’m usually good with remembering such things. Najat-now 8ish (I think) but at the time of

I love bothering my sister when she’s on the computer because frankly, she deserves to be bothered since she’s glued to the screen. There is life outside of the computer screen, you know who you are! Anyway, the other night
