Reversing Roles

My 1-year old can feed himself. He says "Some!" to ask for some of the food we have. Sometimes when I sit next to him, or when I have him on my lap, he would have some food in the spoon or fork, say "Some!", and try to feed ME! :-)

My 3-year old likes to listen to bedtime stories. Her current favorite is "The Bear House" told by Dadda (even I like listening to the storytelling). While lying down on her bed (next to mine), she would sometimes sing songs to ME.. like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Lay Down Your Head.

They are so cute. My heart glows with happiness and pride of them.

One night her little brother pushed the bedroom door on her, and got her fingers hurt, twice. Dadda was upset and yelled at me, and I yelled back at him. She defended me saying that "It's not Momma's problem. It's Umar's problem." She's so smart and mature. Apparently she's also more sensible than her Dadda sometimes.

My heart glows even more.

ALHAMDULILLAH Thank You Allah for My Children...! :-)

(Almost) Hopeless Case

I almost did not believe that we finally got our share $$ back. It was almost a hopeless case, with one delay after another, and long silences in betweens. I first asked to sell mine before I got married, and now we are having the third child already. :-)

Nonetheless, I am thankful that after 5 years we finally got our money and some. Alhamdulillah. Now I can make use of it to pay some debts (as usual) and other outstanding matters that had been kept in the back burner for a while, plus giving ourselves a new bed to replace the broken one, while not forgetting to share a little with others and to have some savings on the side, inshaAllah.

May Allah The Provider continue to bestow us with the abundant sustenance full with blessings.

ALHAMDULILLAH
