Saya!

Dear Saya,

My grandmother made this doll but I helped her with the stuffing and other kinds of work. Are you going to be in my kindergarten class, Saya? If you are, you'll see the real doll when I bring her to school for "rest time." I miss you, Saya.

Love,
Ila

Babeesh, My Grandmother

This is a scrap of cloth that Babeesh gave to me; she's using it for a nightie or a dress. This is my picture of Babeesh. In this picture, I've made a dress for Babeesh. You can call it a nightie or a dress, whatever you want it to be, folks!

My Doll

Saya may know a girl called Sadiya, but this girl's name is Fadiya. Faizi drew this for me.

Science Center

Well, I went to Ontario Science Center today. It was stupendous. I'm now looking forward to going to the zoo. And to partying!

A Walk in the Park

Even though I want to show you this picture I took on the way to the park yesterday, I'd rather play a game called "Zingo!" I beat everyone at this game, including Faizi. It's raining outside and I have a runny nose. I got an injection yesterday. My arm really hurts from the vaccination and feels gummy.

A Girl with a Camera

Three games. The first game goes: is this a new camera or an old camera? The second game is: is the camera mine or is it my Dad's? And third, who do you see in this picture?
Answers: This is a new Kidz Cam. It is my camera and this is a picture I took of myself!

I'm in Toronto

Nana is not in the hospital any more. He's going to buy mangoes for me today. Guess what? I didn't go to school today either. Ha-ha, ha-ha.
I have been watching TV, Treehouse, my favorite channel in Canada. (Except that I don't like "The Mole Sisters.") Actually it's only my first favourite. I don't know the name of my second favourite channel, but "Words" comes on it.

Squirtle

I have an announcement: my turtle is actually called Squirtle.

Bye Bye Poocha

Bye-bye Poocha. Bye-bye Roop. Bye-bye Linta. Bye-bye my room in Brooklyn. Bye-bye New York City. (But not bye-bye Mom or Dad because I can't drive away by myself.)
Toronto, here I come!
