Best of Summer (3): Medina's 6th Birthday Party

Finally, this is it!
After a long wait--Medina kept asking "Am I six now" almost everyday since April--Medina celebrated her 6th Birthday Party!
It is not a princess topic or anything like that. It is sporty!
We had the party a day after her birthday, at a Gymnasti and Trampolining center near our house.
Some pictures and videos:

Medina is our little chef, love reading and retelling stories, love imagination and playground, and love role-playing as teacher. Now, she can read independently, and yes, she loves books (as well as IPad), love watching clips, learning to memorize some short surahs and daily duas. Since we moved to Bristol, September last year, she totally passed toilet training and now she is pamper-free. In few days, she will be in Year 1 (TK Nol Besar), and already have some best friends at school.

What significant achievements!

Here’s some of her daily activities captured by this blog and other social media.
