It's ALL about HENNA!

The moment she stepped into my sister's domain, I knew rightaway this little girl I drew a portrait of 3 years ago is going to be a riot. The first time I saw her, my heart melted (awwwww ...). She is soooo pretty! Silky straight waistlength hair (I want to be Rapunzel!), fluttering eyelashes, cute smile and she geleks like no other (how cute is that???). After we did away with the customary salams and greetings, she said in a husky little girl's voice "Can I see the baby?". She was referring to my nephew, Amir. I told her that Amir is in the feeding chamber but she was undeterred. Turning to her mama, she politely asked "May I see the baby??". Her mama explained that it's Amir's feeding time and that his mama would not like people staring at her while she's breastfeeding. Iman thought for a bit ... then ...
Iman: May I see his MAH-DER please?
Fashionista: Mother (thick English accent), not Mah-der ...
hehehe ...
Iman seemed to like Amir. When asked to sing for him, she obliged with a shrill "Twinkle twinkle little star" in that husky voice of hers and I caught it on video!
Right before she sang for Amir
"Amir, you can have this, and this, and this ..."
The BIL cooked dinner. We had pesto chicken fettucine with garlic bread and salad on the side. It was delish! In between bites, her mama fed Iman bits of McD's Fillet O'Fish. Iman was more intent on making sure Amir is ok, sweet thing!

I've always known Fashionista as someone who is friendly and bubbly and extremely funny. It was really fun catching up with her and getting to know her daughter. Iman is such a sweetie. She giggled and made funny faces. She won us over with her friendliness and sweet nature. The funniest bit of the evening came along when her mama took Amir in her arms. Suddenly Iman announced that she was sleepy. Hehehe. Her mama kept saying "Uh oh, uh oh, she's feeling "J"". She only went back to her usual chirpy self when my sister took Amir from her mama. Just like that, she's all smiles again. All sleepiness (real or not) gone. Heh.
Fashionista and cutie-pie Amir
"I'm sleepy!"
When it's finally time to go home, we could tell that she doesn't want to leave. Maybe she likes us eh? Well, I felt a little sad too. I wish I could play with her some more. I had so much fun with her that I took only a few pictures of her. Here they are :).
Pretty Iman!
This is how you pose ;)
