I am a Palestinian from Gaza. I am a journalist. I am a mother. I am a Muslim. This blog is about the trials of raising my children between spaces and identities; displacement and occupation; and everything that entails from potty training to border crossings. My husband is a Palestinian refugee denied his right of return to Palestine, and thus OUR right to family life. Together, we endure a lot, and the personal becomes political. This is our story.
Journalist, mom, occupied Palestinian-all packed into one.
ok, I'm pathetic, but I just had to post about this: Noor rolled over by herself today!! I'm so proud of my little girl, she's growing up at 3 months! Next thing I know she'll be off to college!! aah!

enjoy every new thing she does as long as you can. Inshallah you WILL see her in college soon enough. Time flies.
as a fellow parent (albeit a first-timer), I have to say: that's not pathetic, that's awesome :)
SO CUTE!
ah mash Allah , it s very nice it s true a baby change very quickly my daughter will have hers 3 years the next month and i don t see the time spend ... lol kiss to Noor and Yusuf.
NO - you're NOT pathetic ... I know how you feel, have been there!
ENJOY EVERY MINUTE ... it really feels that you'll turn around a few times and they're off to college! My guys are in their twenties ... and I can't grasp where the years went - I vividly remember the moments I held them for the first time!
She's SOOO SWEET!! :-)
Karin is right, enjoy it while it lasts!
Hello there.
That is not pathetic in the least; being this far away, not knowing you or your children, I actually smiled and felt a trifle excited at the thought. I can only conceive your own elation. =)
Lovely moment indeed.
It's already been said, but this is far from pathetic! It is what life is all about.
And if it was pathetic, I guess my entire blog would be pathetic too!
Greatly enjoying your blog. Please keep up the writing, including the day-to-daythings like this. I think some poeple over here (in the UK) need to see Gaza as more than just the terrible headlines; see more the people and lives behind the headlines in detail. And your blog is great at that.
Best regards
Steve
:)There are many happy moments before she is off to college.
All the very best.
Others have said it but I'll say it again..they grow SO fast so enjoy every giggle and bump because all too soon they are in school!
