Children's Update 2

The first picture is of Ibrahim when he was a year and a half years old. The 2nd picture is of Isa when he was about 6 months old. The 3rd is a picture of Daliyah when she's a year old.

Comparing the photos I can see the strong resemblances.

In a short bit, I'll be posting up newer pictures just from this past month of the children.

I'll also post up some really nice videos of their adventures.

Their latest activities to do is getting all the furashes (floor sofas) and the cushions that goes with it and building a fort or fortress out of it. They'll pile them on top of each other or in a row like a bridge and crawl underneath it. Usually I'll let them leave it like that for a few days and if friends are dropping by, bye bye goes those and up for a new one.

Kids keep themselves busy with things rather than being bored so easily. Kids these days, most of them get bored so easily even the ones that are online. I tell these people, you're on the internet and how can you possibly be bored when you have the search engine at your fingertips. You have a million things to do, read about, search about and learn so much more. Why complain that you're bored? Do you seriously need a guide, a step by step instructions on how to keep yourself busy and amuse your time?

If the internet tool is not helping you at all from getting unbored, perhaps you should get off the internet and take a walk, or visit some friends offline. If that doesn't boost you, you need to prioritize your time, or just re-think of changing your life style. It's impossible to get bored if you have internet access and it's all within your reach. I can understand if your internet is down or not working then ok, fine, be bored but, even then there are still a million things you can do offline such as play a board game, fly a kite, ride a bike, rollerblade, take a jog, get a job, take care of loved ones, learn to bake and cook, try something new and adventureous.

Live, learn, laugh, cry, these are the things that are told to us and these are the things we tell our children to do. Experience, experiment. Kids love that. So go out and blow bubbles, jump in the rain, jump in the puddles.

The other day as we were at the children's museum, my husband and my children got to one of the displays that shows an "On Air" as you would present the news. They got on and did the "meditation yoga" for some spiritual upliftment while doing the weather report. I'm sure people will get a kick out of that one, if not, then Iby and Isa's silly faces on the screen.

Ok that's it for now.
