And Now She is Three by yati

And I’m tired out.

I’ve been on my feet from the moment I opened my eyes today. Nora requested a ghost cake to bring to pre-school and that’s what I made for her.

I also made her some gingerdead men.

And to finish off… some party bags for her pre-school friends to take home.

I think we did all right for her third birthday. Her big present are the hamster cage and Coco and Blanco… her hamsters. But the cage didn’t arrive complete… and her hamsters escaped… We managed to find Coco but Blanco is still MIA. Still… we didn’t do too badly for her third birthday.

Dear Nora,

When we wake up tomorrow morning, you will be three. It has been a challenging and amazing three years. It hasn’t been easy but I would not change it for anything in the world.

On Thursday, when I called daddy to find out if he’s picking you up from nursery and he passed the phone to you, I found it amazing that we actually had a proper conversation. I don’t know why I was as we’ve been talking to each other for a while… but I guess I was thinking it was not long ago that you couldn’t string a sentence together, let alone a word!

Each day, you amaze me. There are times I wish I was more diligent at recording all these moments… but I don’t. I’m not worried though… like when I lost my phone and all the photos I took of you… I’m just glad that I have you…

And you just woke up looking for me saying you want me.

Let go to bed.

Mama

In accordance to the Islamic calendar,today, three years ago Nora was born. I am ever so grateful to be a mother to a very independent, resilient child. Syukur alhamdullillah.

Nora will be three in less than a couple of months time. It’s time for me to start preparing for her party. Again, I’m going to bring cake and goodies to nursery as that where all her friends are.

I asked her the other day what cake she wants and she said ‘ghost’. I asked her is she sure she doesn’t want a pirate birthday or hello kitty birthday or any other themed. She’s adamant that she wants a ghost party.

So, I’ve been researching ghost cakes and looking for spooky party favours.

Now She Is Two by yati

Nora was two on Friday… and all grown up.

I hope she had a lovely birthday. She Skyped with family in Malaysia who are always excited to see her. We went to Battersea Park Zoo and went out for lunch. I booked her swimming lessons and we went to the park. The weather was perfect… sunny and warm. We had a nice lengthy walk home from the park… going through the hospital she was born in. We sat in the hospital grounds sharing a bottle of orange juice before we continued our walk home… but not before stopping at the pet shop to say hello to the fishes, rabbits and parrot.

I hope she likes her presents… she has a mini kitchen and a shopping trolley from us.

And thank you everybody for the birthday wishes, cards and presents.
