Bullying in Kindergarten – Helping your Child Navigate

Bullying in Kindergarten – Helping your Child Navigate

It really does start early.  Doesn’t it? I figured this would have been a concept I would need to bring up much later.  But I guess I am a little late to the party.My mom had gone to pick up Azu from school yesterday and he didn’t seem like his usual talkative self so she probed him about his day. When I got home, he came to me and said, “Today was not a good day.”  When I asked why, I wasn’t expecting what I heard next.  You see, Azu is a friendly, happy kid who plays with everyone on…

My Pregnancy Story with Azan Part 3

My Pregnancy Story with Azan Part 3

What a wonderful weekend it had been. Eid ul Fitr is my favorite Eid, and I was secretly hoping I would go into labour.  What a dramatic and fun story that would have been to tell my son!  You were an Eid baby!  Eid day – last picture as a couple. We went to an obscene number of houses as you do; when it’s Eid and you aren’t strapped to your bed.  I changed outfits more times that weekend as well because I wanted to “encourage” this baby out before I administered an eviction notice.
