We have been here almost two years and we have walked past the Dubai Mall Aquarium more than a handful of times but never been inside.<br />
<br />
Until now!<br />

We had to beat the Dubai heat somehow and we walked past and decided WHY NOT! Besides I have been hearing about the KING CROC they have and we are VERY interested in Crocodiles in Narchville. </div>

Walking through the shark layer was scary. Everything in your mind tells you that you are safe, but the sharks swimming around you just keep you a bit on edge.</div>

The smiling sting ray was a ray of sunshine, it was very playful. I will spare you more terrible but obligatory aquarium photos. I'll just stick to the ones of curious Little Narch.</div>

She got to feed the fish in the BIG aquarium and she had an absolute blast. She was taken 'back stage' and got to see the fish hospital, the shark diving cage, the shark crane and the kitchen. It was really fun and it sparked her interest in everything marine biology.</div>

Today was an eventful day! We haven't officially started our Homeschool year in Narchville, but that doesn't mean structured learning isn't underway.<br />
<br />
WE finally got our yearly membership to our small but accessible library. WE are pretty excited!! So WE spent all day there doing our reading and writing lessons. Then joyfully picked out books!<br />
<br />
Happy First Day!!!<br />

Narchville had been struck with months of sickness and this last few weeks were the worst.<br />
<br />
The Pirate gave us a scare but I am happy to report that this is the last week of antibiotics in Narchville and we are all on the upswing.<br />
<br />
Of course I was the last one to catch the bug so I am the only one still medicating. That being said, I am done with being stuck in our house sick. I decided we needed to celebrate.<br />
<br />
Little Narch has an interest in Ballet and The Mayor had been wanting to take her. What better way to foster a love of the arts than to book a hotel in Abu Dhabi and buy Bolshoi Ballet tickets. So that is what we did.<br />
<br />

School was annoying to me.<br />
<br />
I missed a lot between sickness, lack of structure/motivation, a divorce and some misinterpreted family issues. You've heard the story before.<br />

Looking back...<br />
<br />
I loved Drama/English with Mrs. H-T (although she would most likely be appalled with my grammar - I'm working on it), Science with Mr. Klicka, and Algebra with my bulky should've been PE teacher. I was usually in the lead of the class, if I showed up for it and finished my work.<br />

<br /></div>
<br />
Not to knock on my parents, but something went seriously awry with my high school education. It was a mixture of being so tied up with my brothers, crazy work schedules and a free spirit parenting style.<br />
<br />
To boot, I made a terrible decision to go to an even more lenient high school for the arts my senior year and ended up dropping out.<br />
<br />
ME!? A high school drop out?<br />

I was savvy, creative, articulate and intelligent. (Not to toot my own horn but you have to be smart to pass classes you never show up to.)<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">(If you are wondering I took the GED and ended up going to college to be a Paralegal.)</span><br />
<br />
Which brings me to my daughter and her education.<br />
<br />
Originally we chose her school for the rigorous curriculum, old school learning style and language aspect. It has helped her interest in French and Arabic however, I'm not going that far out on a limb when I say there are other programs out there that will do a better job.<br />

Little Narch is not your typical kindergartener. She doesn't need an entire week to learn a new fact. She memorizes books almost word for word after reading them to her once. She listens to adult conversations and then roleplays them with you the next morning.<br />

She may not look like me but I see a lot of myself in her. Together with my ability to find information and her ability to soak it up, we will rock her education and we will both be better because of it.<br />

It's getting to be that time of year when it is too hot to go play outside.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Additionally, Joelle has been sick and not in school so I decided to start doing some home school type exercises.<br />
<br />
I have been on the prowl for the academic standards for kindergarteners. Skip counting by 2, 5 and 10, number lines, knowledge of even and odd numbers, and tally marks are all on the long list of skills kindergarteners should possess.<br />
<br />
We have been working on number lines (fill in the missing number) for the last two weeks. So I took hopscotch to another level. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
We created this game organically. As it unfolded I realized what geniuses we are! It is a great game that could be taken outside.<br />
<br />
We used our old ikea painting paper roll, turned it on it's unused side and taped it to the floor (using our tiles as a guide). We counted up one side to ten and back the other to twenty. We alternated colors, odd numbers one color and even numbers another.<br />
<br />
We started out stepping on each number and naming them. We counted forward and backward making sure to spend extra time on the numbers we have a hard time recognizing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJK7rfGSHu9sr3EGw2fY9fMcqWVkWkmrE8wbj-lQqLN26Cw18Ueq_i_tWbPoMRqYB2uMIQriMO4Pt5rae9yrCvqZpGnI-bl2QzZ75Llvm_Zb9I8ze3XTASKvSEV1MFfO-_lVKn8_SVg7s/s1600/DSC_1794.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJK7rfGSHu9sr3EGw2fY9fMcqWVkWkmrE8wbj-lQqLN26Cw18Ueq_i_tWbPoMRqYB2uMIQriMO4Pt5rae9yrCvqZpGnI-bl2QzZ75Llvm_Zb9I8ze3XTASKvSEV1MFfO-_lVKn8_SVg7s/s1600/DSC_1794.jpg" height="320" width="211" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Then I told her the odd numbers were green and the red numbers were even. I explained, that an even number can be broken into pieces of two and the odd numbers couldn't, there would always be one left over.<br />
<br />
We jumped on only the evens, then only the odds, counted up, counted backwards, started counting on specific numbers and counted from them up and down. We have spent hours on this project without getting bored of counting - you think I'm joking.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then we made a score board. Even vs. Odd.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
We picked an odd number to be our number of turns, threw an old deflated balloon on the board (like I said this happened organically) and then made tallies for each time our deflated balloon hit even or odd.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Why not start them early on statistics......right? We had fun guessing which side would win and taking turns switching sides and roles.<br />
<br />
I have been doing a lot of research and prep for the next year of homeschool and it has seemed a bit overwhelming at times. After this day, I realize this is going to be awesome! Teaching Little Narch things is probably what I am best at in life!<br />

I'm not going to sugar coat this, breastfeeding has been REALLY hard this go round. I got mastitis, thrush and now I am battling a fever and some nasty viral infection. I'm trying to stay positive through all of it... Stick with it, and hope for some relief from the pain.<br />
<br />
I think the fever has made me a little delirious...<br />

Life has been busy in Narchville.<br />
<br />
On the 5th - the moment I picked Little Narch up from school - I started having contractions every ten minutes in the car on the way home.<br />
<br />
Not long after my entire house was cleaned (a few hours) I decided to take a walk to the grocery store to grab a few essentials for when Firas got home from work to feed our family.<br />
<br />
But really, let's be honest.... I needed shampoo and conditioner that smelled good for the hospital. I wanted to come out of labor feeling and smelling like a <span style="font-size: large;">tea tree goddess</span>.<br />
<br />
(Apparently I forgot how good newborns smell)<br />
<br />
On my walk to the grocery store (it's not far maybe 15 min) I realized my contractions were about 2 min apart. In any other case, that would be cause to get to the hospital, but for me....<br />
<br />
I NOW know - MY contractions..... come on fast... and strong.....plus they last LONG. They did with Little Narch and they did with the Pirate!<br />

We had a fantastic Christmas.<br />
<br />
Christmas Eve I got the house all organized and clean while Petra and Joelle swam. Then I made a delicious feast which we enjoyed on the cool balcony breeze and the Dubai night lights!<br />
<br />
Falafel bake (sort of like stuffing made with a protein), mashed potatoes, red wine mushroom gravy and cucumber salad that matched perfectly and were simply divine.<br />
<br />

If you are wondering the answer is no. We don't miss meat around here. We are seasoned vegetarians. I think it's been almost 8 years...<br />

Little Narch opened a present in the evening and we all snuggled in on the couch (turned into a bed) and watched Planes. Which is an adorable movie. I have to admit, I think the Mayor and I were more interested than Little Narch.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
With Little Narch off to bed we organized the tree for the magic to happen.<br />
<br />

<br />
Then we all went off to bed. This First Lady is tired these days.<br />
<br />
The next morning went off as Christmas should. Little Narch wasn't up too early and for that I was thankful.<br />

I DO miss Christmas at home with my family and friends. But can I be honest?<br />
<br />
It was just so stress free.....<br />
<br />
No plans to keep. No place to be. No people to meet or disappoint if you couldn't.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't get me wrong</span>. I facebook stalked all my loved ones looking for a peek at the snow and the cozy families.... And I still haven't had my fill.<br />
<br />
I guess I just enjoyed what I have been blessed with.<br />

Christmas Lunch was out and about. We ate the BEST hummus I have ever eaten. It was so amazing that I ordered a tub to take home and we ate it for dinner. Seriously. Never had anything like it. SOOO delicious! It had pickles in it and... hm. hm. hm.<br />
<br />
And then we went home and took a VERY late nap!<br />
<br />
Perfect day!<br />

Merry Christmas everyone! I am far too disorganized to have matching pajamas photos for you this year (or any year for that matter). Hopefully I will get some professional photos once The Pirate arrives.<br />

My Belly is getting bigger and my Pirate fills me with a connection that I cherish. I don't even know this boy yet and my heart is smitten.<br />

Driving in Dubai has helped me feel more independent. Sure, I can get around on the metro but my sense of where I am on the road, helps with an overall sense of where you are in Dubai and gives me more confidence.<br />

One of these days, on a day I haven't driven... I will blog about the driving culture here. It's like you are the player of a video game with obstacles popping at random in your way. At times... it can be terrifying. I hadn't driven much until Joelle started school but since, I have gotten my crash course in Dubai driving and I'm feeling confident. I'm an aware driver.<br />

I started looking into diapers. Sure there are Pampers and Huggies. I was WAY to cheap for those in the US even in bulk. There aren't BULK shopping options here. Without really knowing anyone to ask what kind of diapers did you use I've been looking at all the shopping stores to check out the different brands. Most of the off brand alternatives are REALLY cheap. Not just cheap but like something you would put on a doll for pretend. I finally found a SUPER affordable diaper that doesn't look SUPER cheap! I really hope they work.</div>

While Firas and I watched her in awe.....reluctantly we left. (We DID stay about an hour and a half)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We marveled on the way to Firas' work about her strength and self confidence.<br />
<br />
Put simply, we have an amazing child. <br />
<br />
I wasn't worried about HER after we left. It was so chaotic that I feared it wouldn't calm down and the kids that were fine with being at school would be left to fend for themselves because the teachers were so wrapped up in dealing with ten plus crying, screaming children. It was nothing like I have ever experienced. The whole KG1 section was so loud.<br />
<br />
Together we decided that I would stop back at noon, check in and see how the class looked. We would pick her up early to keep everything successful.<br />
<br />
When I got back at 1:00 (dang traffic) the class was much more calm (and small). Maybe they separated the kids not adjusting well, or their parents picked them up.<br />
<br />
Regardless..... MY girl? Was JUST fine.<br />
<br />
The teacher complimented her behavior. THEN told me that I couldn't send this and this and this with her in her lunch.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Side Bar: I packed a damn good lunch people. Balanced. Cute. I was bummed. I put more energy into that lunch than any parent in that school.)</span><br />
<br />
I panicked thinking she was starving and thirsty. I was then told to go wait in the office.<br />
<br />
Where I was greeted with.....<br />

They didn't let us take pictures past this point. At the last minute Joelle decided she wanted a baby brother, which ended up being perfect. The technician's funny disposition and lack of vocabulary made for an interesting gender reveal. It went something like this...</div>

Marlo "Those are the legs?"</div>

It took me a second to realize how hilarious it was but I could not have asked for a better, more funny way to find out I was having a BOY! I was right! He IS a pirate! He even has treasure, the family jewels! </div>

My little Pirate is a feisty mover and shaker. It was hard to get a good picture. Not to mention I was almost 22 weeks instead of 20 and was told that we have a big baby on our hands. (Which surprises me as I haven't gained more than 3 pounds). </div>

His HUGE feet were constantly moving so I am surprised we got pictures of them. We counted and I think there are five toes, on each foot. According to the technician "They look human" and apparently that is what they are looking for. She was soo funny!</div>

Firas had to go back to work. So we went back to the Oasis Center where his office is and instead of going home we had lunch and celebrated at Fun City! Joelle played in the play area and then we did some games and rides.<br />

These are the little outfits that I could NOT resist! I didn't even bother with newborn size. Joelle was 9 pounds and didn't fit in any of it anyways. Since she told me he is big, I will just go with my gut and stick with the 0-3 month sizes.<br />

So that concludes our day. We are still trying to decide between two names. I was in love with one when Joelle was a baby, Firas liked another one. Now, we have switched sides and are struggling between the two. That being said, we both agree that each name is a GREAT name. </div>

Maybe we will just wait until this little being makes an appearance and looks like an Alladan or a Jack Sparrow. (If Joelle had her way it would be Franky Star. ) </div>

We are busy this week preparing for Joelle to start school. It's still pretty hot so we have a bit of cabin/mall fever. In addition, I won't sugar coat it, I'm not in the best mood. </div>

Joelle stopped her midday nap just in time for school and this pregnant mama is TIRED. (Joelle is too, she just refuses to sleep.) So as you can imagine our days are colored with a bit of sass. </div>
