The food that we gobbled...they were delicious

Önder Bey introducing hatice to the crowd as hatice was unexpectedly requested by baddin's class teacher, Hülya Furuncu to read the after meal prayer (in turkish)

During the performance

All the 3 classes of pre school students..

2 weeks r barely over since the beginning of the new session...and the school had already conducted a small performance for the pre school students cum iftar dinner for the parents.... i have to say, i was truly impressed!

The dinner was..i would say not what i expected. i was expecting a bufe of some sort... we were late as it was that nite due to the traffic... and as we as a family made our grand entry ( coz most people were looking at us... mainly me obviously a foreigner)... it was so sweet of Önder bey to point us to where we were supposed to sit...

The tables were set according to the number of a family number.... labelled as such (see above)..i think that in itself was such a sweet gesture...

The performance? The kids basically had a mass choir... singing songs...it was impressive how the kids could somehow sang along with the tape. Bravo!

Baddin? He was good...Well.. he fell from where he was a few times.... before the singing started, he even played with the curtain behind him... kept on untucking his under shirt twice before telling his teacher that he did not feel comfortable having it tucked in.... i was proud of him... for a shy guy, he did well...and this song in this blog *for now* (Yemek duası)---meal prayer----- was one of the songs they sang...and is now one of his favourites :0)
