February Photo a Day Challenge - Week 2

7. Button - these are the lift buttons in our apartment building

8. Sun - Whilst you cannot see the sun directly this is looking out from near our building over the construction behind us. The Sun is setting behind the buildings, if you squint your eyes and look closely at the smaller building to the right of the tall one on the left with the crane you will see it has an image of His Highness that covers the entire building. There are a few buildings like this in Dubai and we were a bit excited when we saw this one going up near our house!

9. Front Door - this is taken in the Old Town community across the road from our house, I have to pass through these beautiful doors to get to a friends house.

10. Self Portrait

11. Makes You Happy - Getting matching pedicures with Piper!

12. Inside Your Closet - Our walk in robe, poor Naz has been banished to the closet in the spare room. I will miss this when we leave, I loooooove it! But do need to sort out those shoes?!?

13. Blue - View from our balcony in a different direction, taken at twilight. This is the Address Hotel, it has bright neon blue stripes up the building that you can't quite see in this photo. (also has a fab bar in it with hapy hour every night and a great cocktail list)

14. Heart - Piper's valentines card she made for her Daddy

The proud Mumma post (and super grateful wife)

Our little girl has gone from a baby to a grown-up in the past week and as exciting a milestone achievement as it is I am also selfishly a little sad my little bubba is growing up so fast.
Piper is officially daytime toilet trained (night time nappy only).
While I would like to take credit for this achievement unfortunately the only thing I can take credit for is buying her first knickers! This was all due to the hard work and hours put in by her Daddy.
Last week I had management from Australia in town and a huge proposal due in to a client so on top of the long hours I had been working I also had evening work functions every night last week. During this time Naz and Piper took on the toilet training challenge with great success! Don't get me wrong there were a few accidents, embarassing and awkward moments followed by tears but they won in the end.
We went to the mall last night for a couple of quick jobs and as we were leaving to head home Piper yelled out "toilet, I need to do wee" and off we went. She was so patient and grown-up about it all I had a teary departing the toilets with my little grown-up lady.
So basically this is a blog post to say thank you to my wonderful husband and let the world know how much I truly do appreciate his support and all the work he is putting in at the moment as a stay at home Daddy over here with very little support. Thank you xo
