Relax baby. Not too fast!

I miss writing about Rania and her growing up days. I still do capture everything as much as I can but I hardly have time to document it down.
I wish I can blame it on work but it brings the bread and butter home.

But seriously work has been crazy and breathing down my neck.
Maybe I am not as strong or active as I used to be but it sucks that I am away from my daughter most times and I cannot help it.
For example on busy days, I am out of the house at 8am for school visits or meeting and the day ends at 6 where you get caught in the peak hour traffic.

It warms my heart that every day when I come home, Rania sets her eyes on me and come running towards me, stop short just to scream "Yayyyyyyy!" and flap her hands like a little chick.
How can my heart not break and smile at the same time?



I took this picture recently when I realized Rania's hair was good enough to have two ponytails.
(FYI - she refuses to hold her bottle as much as possible. Yes, she is pampered like that.)
Then it struck me that she has really grown up.

I was sharing with Alfi that sometimes when I visit Primary Schools, I look at the children and I start to tear because in no time Rania will be in Primary One and that became the butt of our joke between the two of us.

As it is today, she can count one to ten and capture most of the alphabets from A to Z. I know she doesn't recognize the numbers or words but she just manage to memorise the tune and fit her phonics into the song.
*lol*

I want to find some time and video that.
Despite all these, I am looking forward to motherhood and the life it has promised me.
