Isabelle Sofia Handal Qubain is Turning 6 Today!

Today is Isabelle Sofia’s birthday. We organized a birthday party. We invited all her classmates and some other friends. She had so much fun in the pool party we organized. Everyone was enjoying it. She got so many cute presents and received lots of gifts from all her friends and other people.


Isabelle Sofia is growing so quickly. I think we are missing some parts of her life because life is so fast. Lately Isabelle Sofia has become so disrespectful.Every time she sees something she wants it, and sometimes we tell her we cant get it she gets very disrespectful. When we go shopping she always tells me that she wants a dress, she tries it on and I tell her it does not look her and she would never trust what I say and would never accept my opinion. It's always what she says and it cant be that way because Im her mother and she needs to obey me and her dad. We have more experience. By being so disrespectful Isabelle Sofia is receiving a punishment. We had to ground her for a week till she learned that she cant be too disrescpectful. She was also very egocentric. She's always saying she's the prettiest of all her friends. She only talks about her and that she's the best in everything.


After the punishment Isabelle Sofia became very close to me, her mother.She has a very close attachment to me. Many people say this is because I spend a lot of time with her and care for her a lot. It's not that Eddy does not spend time with her but he works and so I'm the one that takes care of her the most. Eddy is very lovely and nice with her too. About three weeks ago Isabelle Sofia had a separation anxiety attack every time she went to school. She starts to cry because she wants to be with me, the doctor says it will last a little and that it is only a phase.


We came from vacations these past 2 days. I remember waiting the airplane to Honduras; we went to a souvenir store in New York, USA. When Eddy, Isabelle, and I enterred the store, Isabelle saw a pink teddy bear and asked if we could buy it; the cost was 40$. It was to much and she started crying and kicking our feet in front of everyone. We didn't know what to do; it was so embarrassing. I tried to calm her but she cried more. We ignored her,but she still cried and kicked her feet i nfront of everyone. All the people looked at Isabelle. She was behaving very inmaturely.


I decided to take her to the bathroom and told Eddy to buy the teddy bear but we would give it in Honduras if we see that she bahaved well throught the rest of the day. When Isabelle and I were in the bathroom I sat her down in a chair and told her in a very mad voice, " You are acting very inmature Isabelle, You are 6 years old and you are doing this huge tantrum. If you don't quiet down I wont buy anything and we will wait in the chairs for the airplane. OK?"


Isabelle quiet down and never cried again. We arrived to Honduras and since she behaved well we gave her as a surprise the pink teddy bear. She sais she was sorry and that it wouldn't happen again.

Overall, our little baby is doing fine. She stopped the separation anxiety she was going through. Our Isabelle Sofia is growing so fast, but we love her so much.
