Wuslim Mom?

Jack has this funny issue with Muslims...It's taken this long for him to comment on the women wearing abayas and head scarves. After seeing my photo with Shari the night of Dave Scott's birthday, Jack asked if that was when I was a wuslim? I said, "No, I was just wearing a head scarf." Jack then said, "But you're still my Mom, right?"
Honestly, these guys make me laugh everyday.

A Day in Abu Dhabi


Jack got 3 stamps today because he was so good at school. He wanted all three on his face! He's still darn cute, in his mom's opinion.

Sam scared this little guy today because he lost his patience with Jack after Jack messed up the diorama. Little Ian took off for the front door with tears in his eyes. After I intercepted him and had a talk with Sam about how these little kids think he is so great and hearing him get angry really scares them, Sam was so cute to Ian and apologized and before long to two of them were on the couch watching Jurassic Park together. Ian is only 2 years old but Sam started treating him as an equal. Sam was very concerned that this little guy would be afraid of him. When I saw them on the couch together I was so proud of Sam. He was truly making an effort to make Ian comfortable with him as an older kid.
