Danae - The Chef

Today, the chefs in our building held a 2 hour cooking class for the children here. It was a lot of fun! Here's what they made:



One thing I don't understand is why more parents didn't join the festivities. Most dropped their kids off and left. A lot of kids were under the age of 5 and really needed one-on-one adult supervision. I've noticed that some expat parents here seem to consider their children a bother and want to get rid of them whenever possible. Sad!

Anyway, Danae had fun. Her partner was a 7 year old named Conrad. He was very sweet and got over his disappointment of being paired with a 3 year old.

As usual, here are a few pics from the event.

They got to take home their hat, apron, and a wooden spoon. Fun times!

I always enjoy reading your blog but the part about parents feeling like their kids are a bother is such a negative accusation to make about someone you don't know. There are so many mental and emotional things going on in everyone's life that you may not know about. So maybe those kids having a chance to relax without their parents is a blessing for them.

Too cute. I think your comment about parents leaving is true for some. I see the same thing at church, etc. There may have been some children who saw this as a blessing, but if parents are good parents their children want to be with them. Unfortunately, a lot of parents are not good parents.

Motherhood

Yesterday, I had something to do so the kids went to their old sitter's house for a few hours. We got home later than intended so I knew I would be rushing to prepare dinner, get them bathed, and settled for the night. Here's what really happened. As soon as we entered the house, Brayden started running around saying "Mommy, I have to pee". So we rush into the bathroom and as soon as his pants are unbuttoned, he starts peeing on himself. I clean him up and decide they can play in the tub while I start preparing dinner. As soon as we get to the kitchen, Danica throws up all over me, herself, and the floor. So, I take her to our bathroom and bathe her. Before I can get her pj's buttoned up, Brayden starts screaming "I have to pee!" Because he just went all over the bathroom floor, I'm a little perplexed. I run to their bathroom anyway only to find out he didn't have to pee, he had to poop and had already dropped two bombs in the bathtub where his s...

Unnecessary Comment

If you know me, you know I am not easily offended. But this comment...it kinda got to me a little bit. Luckily, it happened over the phone. Other Person: Your baby is so pretty. Me: Thank you. Other Person: She really is beautiful. The other two just weren't as pretty as she is. Me: (Long silence) I can't believe you just said that. I won't bore you with the details of the rest of the conversation. But, is it just me, or was the last part of that statement just really not necessary. I would've had absolutely no problem with just the first part but don't compare my kids and, in essence, put down my other two. Thank you if you think my baby is pretty. I do too. Now, let's just leave it at that. Ugh... My next post will be much happier and filled with pictures and commentary on my wonderful, although way too short, trip to Florida.

In Memory...

Staff Sergeant Javares Washington was killed in Kuwait. He was my cousin. My cousin died yesterday...in Kuwait...and I'm so very sad. I feel like I can't breathe. My heart is broken. We grew up like siblings. His mom had him at a very young age. She wasn't ready to take care of him. So, he lived with us for years. He was like my brother. And now, I'm in shock. I'm going to miss him so much. The military has only said he was in a government vehicle on patrol and it flipped over. We don't know what caused the flip or anything. I want to go home. He was married and had two children. His son, Jayden, is 6 years old and looks just like him. His daughter, Tristin, is 9 months old. My heart is broken.
