Relaxing!


Sometimes you make yourself comfy and just chill while watching T.V. 
I have a bunch of pictures.. and it's really not much interesting..
except there is a cute little face. We went to an indoor play time thing for kids today.. again I didn't have my camera. We had a nice time and there was a blow up thing that the kids jump in. 
Happy Ramadan!!! Hope the month brings peace and happiness and some calmness and clarity in your thoughts. Mostly try to be good to others, generous and kind.

Just to Add to the Name Game

So we meet Abby at the park, I took a chance on meeting her to tell her "it's actually Khaled, but you can even say Ed or Eddie" I figured that would be catchy and felt clever. She tells me in good enthusiastic spirits "I call him Gabin!"
So I made sure what she called him.. Gabin not Gavin... I said ok Gabin. Got it!
So that's that... i will upload more pics soon. Although when we go places I usually don't have my camera! But there are a few good ones. When went to this really nice Kids day at the waterfront last Saturday. It was actually a lot of action going on and quite busy, we saw all Khaled's friends there... wish i had my camera!

Name Game

There's this little girl we see at the park close by some evenings. her name is Abby, she's super cute and very playful, inviting and outgoing, quite a contrast to her dad that is very quiet. So, she sees Khaled and says Gavin!!! Gavin. She just loves calling his name and it's really sweet. But we went through this last time I saw her... I tried so much to tell her his name is Khaled! With a "K" anything. And it's really always Gavin. I don't even try to change it now, but i can't help laughing  because it's so cute... and not his name. But when I see Abby I know I have a son called Gavin. They chase each other and he says "go get Abby". That's my story... but I want to say all the nick names we call him:

Lood
Loodie
Khalood
Khalooda
(I always say coo coo, co co.. to him in french... so I guess co co is one)
Ed
Eddie  
Looli

I think that's it ... none of them Gavin... that's Abby's

He's sleeping well in his bed. Falling asleep there (after 2 stories or so) and mostly sleeps there till morning. But it's not as calm as it seems... it's just one thing after the other .. and really it all takes time. But we get there, and then believe me Hatem and I are both so incredibly tired. So tired that sometimes I can't sleep. As for the potty .. well he sits on it if I look at books with him, and we can do that for a while... but wow he's happy in his diaper this guy no matter how messy haha. In other words... we have our way to go on the potty training. I need to work more at it with him.
