2 down 13 to go

I just finished part one of my CIPs journey.. In total i have 15 papers to complete and i intend to finish all of it within a period of 3 years.. I would be lying if i say it hasn't been hard, it HAS! Especially when you have 2 toddlers and one that is still breastfeeding who requires a lot of attention. Its funny how seems like each time i open up my book, Sofiyya will ask for 'Nen'. Hence i have resorted to studying as soon as both kids or at least as soon as Sofiyya is asleep. I have been so used to my 7-9hrs of sleep and it has been reduced to 5hrs max.. It was quite a pain at the beginning but as with anything it takes practice and after a while i got used to it..

Here is Sofiyya 'helping' me study








Speaking of breastfeeding with Sofiyya turning 2 in a couple of days i have officially stopped expressing.. Looking into the stock, Sofiyya is currently taking EBMs from December!

Here are various photos taken over the week or so..

Dinner with M&Ms 11May2013

Also another long over due get together was a get together with the Zams. Although eversince i started my secondment i have seen TC quite a fair bit but the kids have not.




















I have to say that i have been quite busy as i practically have 2 jobs and studying for my certification at the same time.. I gotta make sure that we don't carried away and make sure that we spend quality time with our family and friends.. Scheduling our time was a bit tough as our friends also have their own ageda but with a continued effort insyallah..

Dinner with Ariesya and Zahin 4Mar2013

Long over due dinner with The Bainz...!! We had dinner at cheezebox so food was great and the kids had a lot of fun playing at the play area. It has been far to long and it was very good to catch up..

note to bb: this kinda thing needs to happen more often!

Its Mother's day!

When Nadia got home from school on Saturday she gave me a flower that she made for me in conjunction with Mother's day!

There has been a couple of articles on facebook about how muslims should not be celebrating Mother's day and its haram but in my opinion when the intent is ikhlas then insyallah all will be well..

Husband dearest bought me a cake and we celebrated with my family at home.. Alhamdulillah and thank you for appreciating us mothers.. Alhamdulillah..

Reminder

Husband dearest forgot to put Nadia's diapers on before they fell asleep last night and at around 1.15am i had a tap on my hand and nadia told me she wants to 'memeh'.. Although she peed a little in her undies i am still happy and proud that she was able to wake up before the whole gate floods open!

In my efforts to start weaning Sofiyya off breastmilk and my breast we have been telling her that big girls drink from bottles like kaka and no longer nen from mummy. She of course says no then last night she did ask for her bottle. I gave her very dilute FM and she drank about 1oz before she turned to her daddy and said 'inda nyaman' and gave back her bottle.





These are small small steps that my girls have taken and these are the moments when i am reminded on how big they have grown up to be..

I pray that Allah will always protect my girls and always always pray that Allah gives my husband and I the strength, courage, patience and ability to teach them right.. Amin amin amin..
