Why is it Grandpa is in KL ...

... especially when he's so far away from three boys in Silver Spring, MD whom he's so fond of?

One answer (among many) might be found in the picture taken on the playground at Doug and Tracy's house in Bukit Antarabangsa when "Baba" arrived to pick up Rania for a "morning out" -- including the predictable trip to McDonalds! (But first we had to stop at ISKL to make a surprise visit to the library where we missed Nancy but encountered Mommy who had holed-up there to grade papers in the absence of morning classes.)

Of course, Rania wanted a "Happy Meal" with pancakes, a toy, and "cold Milo." Baba settled for a sausage-egg McMuffin meal with coffee and a hash-brown.

Other exciting events with Baba included watching "Barbie, the Island Princess" and Rania putting together two puzzles all by herself on the floor in the kids' room.(She's really getting proficient!) And, oh yes, the big news of the day was that Rania displayed her remark-able skills in the potty-training process by going pee-pee twice on the potty and getting rewarded accordingly. (One of the rewards -- a lollipop -- is being proudly displayed.) And yes, there was mac-and-cheese at Baba's place before heading home for a nap with big sister! - rw

Well Ron and Nancy, as usual I wish I was your grandchild. But it's pretty cool being your daughter-in-law, too. Have Rania call us sometime soon to give us some tips on potty training as our three year old is resisting the process, regardless of rewards.

love
Marta
