I have been spending all of my time between Facebook and my daughter Celmira... Without that creative time slot to think and plan a blog post…I shall write about celmira herself...Celmira is getting thinner...anyone looking at her says that ! And why not? she hates food these days..She is developing likes & dislikes. So much so, I suspect that if she had a Facebook account she would sue Mark Zuckerberg for NOT having a ‘Dislike’ button on his website.... Anyway, as part of her growing process…she has started loving choclates.... I am glad we live in an era when choclates can be bought anywhere, and stored in the house (in a refrigerator, of course)..Celmi is just two years and six months but keeping in with the family tradition we have decided to push her into hell when she least expects it... After all, why shouldn’t we revenge what was done to us? we decide to put her in a playchool..my initial list had five play schools. After speaking to a few parents, reading up the internet on playschools in Dubai…I finalized the TWO semifinalists..World Nursery and Happy kids nursery..Let me tell you that education being the money churner that it is, even the Principals are trained to ensure the right image is conveyed to the parents...When we finally decided on the school after 6 months of research I started hating the life I had been chasing so far..so fast..so useless. Don’t believe me? Try making a conversation with a Principal of a Playschool... Now, don’t you go around sleeping around for a child…just pretend that you already have one and call up a play school..!!! To cut the long story short, we were impressed with both playschools and decided to decide together....I told Assad,Celmi's future relies on this decision…please don’t take this lightly. What she become 25 years later depends on this…now tell me which school will you want her to go to...The sad part about being the parent is that you have to make all the decisions and then kids blame parents for everything ! so finally we decide on World nursery.. September 5, 2010 will be Celmi's first day in her play school... Yes, the girl whose birth her parents proudly announced, the girl who taught her parents how to shop when she was just two days old, the girl who was her mother's first walking partner, the girl who is her father’s princess, and the girl who has taught us so many things…will be starting school in few days... Wish her luck.
