Carnival in the Compound

Yesterday, the compound ladies organized a very nice carnival and movie night for the kids, which started with a cartoon show for the small kids then Batman for the teenagers, and after that a clown came and we had a good time. Mom took me to the clown but of course I didn't get scared - I like clowns and have been used to them since I was in my Mom's tummy when she used to take me to see the clowns who came to the compund before I was born, but frankly they are much nicer in reality. The music was so loud that my baby friend Sarah and I wanted to dance but unfortunately :-( we can't walk yet haha.

The McDonald's kids meal came and all the kids went crazy as if they had never seen a hamburger before, but Sarah and I took our McMilk instead since we don't have teeth yet. We all ate our meals while watching Batman, when suddenly a big van came into the compound and all the kids went crazy again, because it was an Ice Cream van which has ice cream, pop corn, corn, baleela and sahlab. At about that time dad came home from work and he found this van parking in front of our house, so he bought humos balila which he likes a lot, and two corn for him and his friend Jarir who came later at night to sit with my Dad argeeling outside :-) I said goodnight & bye to Sarah since she was leaving at 12 midnight to her Teta's house in Beirut.

I got sooooo tired because I couldn't sleep outside as usual since the music was so loud, and I took a quick bath, drank my milk and slept.

Come fly with me

How do I usually spend my time

So many things have happened during the past two months. Mom and Dad say I have become very naughty, but I always tell them that I'm active not naughty, and all these movements are morning, afternoon and evening exercises. I tell my dad, "Be more like me, riyaadi not lazy!".

During my 4th month I started to eat fruits. I liked them, all especially Gerber's apple sauce. As you can see from the photos below, in the beginning I was a bit reluctant to start eating solids (or actually more like mushy foods) but now I am getting to like it. I tried the apple, orange, grapes and I also tried cereals like Farley's, my dad's old favorite ;-)

3 days ago, I went to cut my hair, and a nice Filipino guy cut it for me, I was a good boy and didn't cry, but of course I couldn't keep calm and I started my evening excercises after 5 mintues. I will add my picture at the hair dresser once my Mom downloads it from her mobile, because she forgot to take the camera. Thank God for technology. Also Mom took some of my hair to keep it as a memory.

What else do I want to tell you.... hmmmm ah let me tell you about my daily routine. Everyday I woke up at 7:50 I play with dad before he goes to work, then I say Bye to him and go play under my Winnie the Pooh for 1 hour then sleep again. I have many toys to play with, I also have a very nice swing, and lots of toys in my room. Mom and Dad said they will buy me more toys if I behave well.

Everyday in the afternoon after I woke up at 5pm Mom takes me out. She puts on cologne for me, prepares my carriage and puts all the things I need inside it. Water, milk, kleenex, blanket and some toys. I play there with all my friends. All my Mom's friends like me a lot and they play with me and hold me because I smile to everyone. I'm a social person and I like people. After that when my dad comes from work I play with him because I don't see him much, only in the morning and lunch and at night.

At 8:30 I take a bath. I LOVE bath time, play with the water, especially when the body shampoo gets under my neck and cleans out the milk that I had drooled down there during the day and gotten trapped there. After that, I drink my warm milk and sleep. Actually, I PRETEND to sleep because in reality I keep one eye open and watch my Mom and Dad switch the walkie talkie in my room and go out to the garden for an argeeleh. But haraam, I don't want to disturb them after such a long day for them and I let them relax while I do some reading and then go to sleep.

And there you have a typical day in the life of Walid Dajani Jr. Hope you liked it, 'cos I do :-)
