Back again......quick update!

Hi everyone,

I know, I know its high time that I updated this blog but with me getting heavier and heavier and sleeping lesser and lesser at night, it is difficult to work up the energy to do anything now a days.

My last post was on Alysha’s pre school. Well, she has been going to pre school regularly but not the one I mentioned below. I love the school she goes to now and am so glad I decided to send her here but that is another story altogether for another day.

At this point of time. I am just waiting and looking forward to my baby which is due in January. I know the sex but am not telling, yet.

The festivities just ended and it was one of the best Deepavali and Hari Raya I have had in years. Its probably because Alysha is older and is able to enjoy it more with me. Tiring but really nice. Ate my heart out and did lots of visiting. Alysha enjoyed it so much ( all that cookies, cakes, duit raya and mama and papa all to herself) and was quite sad that mama had to go back to work after a long long holiday.

I must mention that the holidays as well as other things have done wonderful things to her relationship with her papa. She now completely adores him. He will always be second to mama, of course, but I can sense that she is so much more closer to him. It’s also because he sends her and picks her up from school everyday. I must say though that he is making so much more of an effort now. Less TV time and more play time with her. I suppose he has realized that it is truly rewarding when she hugs him so tight and refuses to let him go and goes “papa papa papa” more often now.

I am currently making preparations to celebrate Alysha’s 3rd birthday party. We have never had a real party since she was born and so this is something I am realy looking forward to. Hope it turns out as memorable for her as I would like it to be.

Every night before we go to bed, me and Alysha have formed the habbit of saying a little prayer and thank God for yet another beautiful day and little blessings. Actually she refuses to say little blessings and says soooooo much blessinsg. Her reason being, after she counts all the things we have been blessed with on that day, its really a lot. I started doing this a month ago more for her so that she realizes how lucky we are and its to HIM that we owe everything. It has in turn made me realize how lucky I am for my wonderful family and friends and everything else that I have been blessed with. And so life’s has been been wonderful since and I am enjoying every bit of it.

That’s a lot for now. I promise to keep updating this blog so do visit me from time to time. Will post some Raya pictures soon too.
