Riding the School Bus

After 2 weeks of driving J to school , he finally had his first school bus ride  on Monday together with his brother  .I was not  sure if he  was ready to do it with out mommy but I gave it a try. I was worried he will cry and  not gonna let me get off the bus after buckling up his seat belt but it did not happen instead  I saw the excitement in his eyes when I said goodbye. At the age of 3 , he is so ready to be on his own going to school.Of course ,I am not so worried because his brother will take good care of him.

Waiting for the bus for the 1st time .

 Bus is coming.

Amusement Rides

My son grew up without  me beside him. I left him when he was only 4 months old to work overseas. That is why I  missed a lot of things of his growing up years  including his first amusement rides. My only  connection with him was  through pictures that my sister sends me regularly and a yearly vacation.

My eldest  with his cousins when he was only 2 years old. Both my nieces are now in college, how time flies so fast .

 

 
At Enchanted Kingdom as part of his 7th birthday celebration. Me and hubby was there to celebrate his very special day.

This is his first amusement rides at Jungle Zone, Qatar.After more than 7 years, I finally got my son.

He was 10 years old here with some Arab children  bumping cars with each others.

Our life In Qatar- School Time

School day is over and my son is now enjoying his summer vacation playing Nintendo Ds games and surfing the net.He will be in Grade 6 next school year in the US with new school and classmates.I hope he'll get use with  the new environment schoolmates and friends.

I took this picture one foggy morning outside the school .He hates picture taking or probably just shy that his mommy was asking him to pose  for a while with some students and classmates around.The school is just a few block away from the house but it is safer if I drive him to school before I go to work.

Another foggy and cold morning .My son was wearing his P E uniform with a back pack and a plastic envelope for some of his school stuff.He was using an old  but very durable backpack ,if I am not mistaken ,I bought it from  Walmart  in 2005 as his travel bag. I actually got  him a stroller bag for the  school year but he didn't like it and ask me if he can use the old back pack instead.

For our mommy moments,this picture was taken 3 years back before we  go to work and school.

Baby goes Yellow

I always see Mommy Moments in most of the blogs that I read but I have no idea what it is  all about  until I bumped into ViVaPiNaYs mommy moment entry. At the last part of the post, there is the" clicked  the link below for more info" . So there goes The "Mommy Journey", with 56 Mommy Moments entries so far that says "you're next". I checked each entries  one by one and all I saw  was the cute  kids pictures in yellows.

So next thing I did was go on my children's pictures and search for yellows  for my first Mommy  Moments entry. Okay, here is my entry. The bundle of our joy, my youngest  boy  playing inside his yellow baby gym.The pictures were taken when he was only 5 months old.
