I used to be a little harsh with Junayd when it came to salaah - him messing around when I prayed. But one day, he took it upon himself to pray with me, and&#8230; mashaa`Allaah, he prayed the whole salaah. [...]]]></description>

I love schooling my children, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy, and well&#8230; have more of a purpose when I think of the &#8216;not-so-good&#8217; days (you know what I mean?).
But, Junayd is going to turn 5 in November inshaa`Allaah, and we are fast approaching the end of the school year. Although [...]]]></description>

Last year, the magnolia tree began to bud in late March, and we fully flowered by April/May. But this year, it looks like we&#8217;ll not be [...]]]></description>

However, he simply does not like writing. He&#8217;ll &#8216;dictate&#8217; words to me, and just recently began to spell his name, alhamdulillaah.

One way to find out is by looking at the national curriculum of your locality. For those of you based in the UK, with children between 3 and 6, here&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>

Has it REALLY been nearly FIVE months since I last updated? SubhaanAllaah, I&#8217;ve severely neglected this humble abode of mine, and I&#8217;m sorry to you all. I&#8217;m sure you had better expectations.
Nevertheless, there are many things to say&#8230; things have happened&#8230; things have changed, and life goes on, alhamdulillaah.
Firstly, Junayd is no longer a full-time [...]]]></description>

Junayd is now getting the grips of &#8216;phonetic reading&#8217; (as I like to call it), although he makes the expected mistake here and there.
I borrowed a book from our local library to help, and it&#8217;s been a GREAT help in making the transition from the alphabet to reading, alhamdulillaah.  The book is called Superphonics, by [...]]]></description>
