Today, My Princess is HaPpY!

When Mariyah wakes up in the morning, she asks me: "What day is it today?". She knows that:
Monday is: A long day at the daycare.
Tuesday: School and Daycare.
Wednesday: Lilly and Daycare.
Thursday: Sharing a toy at school and a short -junk food- day at daycare.
Friday: A long day at Daycare and a gift from the Treasure Box!
Saturday: Grocery shopping and Target trips and many fun stuff ;)
Sunday: Another fun day that ends with a long bath with lots of Shampoo -her nightmare where she always tries to be brave-.

Today is Saturday.
When Jeeej took Selma to Trader Joe's and Target, Mariyah walked with me to the hair salon to get her nails polished. Today, she picked the colors: pink, purple and blue.
When we all got home Jeeej asked her to choose between The Pirates movie and the Chimpanzee Disney movie and of course she picked the second one.

When it comes to animals I'm the least interested person on earth.
For Mariyah, Animals are the most beautiful creatures on earth along with Dinosaurs.

When it was time for her to pick a "well behaving" gift from the store later on, she picked this little tiny tiger...

Simply because 4 tigers are not enough.

We kinda have a zoo at home...
Today, I decided to make it extra special for her, I bought some stuff from Michael's and built this cage~farm thingie for her.
It's tiny and doesn't look as great as she'd want it to be, but guess what?
I'm not a perfectionist and she better love it once she finds it wrapped in a gift bag in her room tomorrow morning :D

Her teachers are always impressed by how much she adores animals and the babysitter once asked me: "What did you do to Mariyah? She always wants to play and read about animals! She doesn't enjoy dolls and princesses".

Believe me I did nothing.
No matter what she loves or cares about, she'll always be my little princess :)


The best part of my day is when I kiss her goodnight and she talks to me about what made her happy during the day...
She always starts by: "ماما، أنا كتير مبسوطة منك اليوم، بتعرفي ليش؟؟".
