On being an expat baby

Here I am in Bahrain. We came here to live with my daddy, he has alreay been here for a year. I like it here a lot. Everywhere we go I ooh and ahh over the things I see! In Bahrain one this is for sure, they love kids a lot in Bahrain and everywhere you go there are tons of fun things for the kids to do. In the big City Centre mall there is a massive kids area with games, a playground, rides, a huge merr-go-round, one whole part of the mall is all kids stores and toy stores even! The people are so friendly to me too, they always say hi to me then call other people over to look at me and say hi. And at Rics and Fudruckers the waitresses cleaned me up with wet wipes after I ate and picked me up and carried me around showing me off. I don't understand what they are saying but I am very young so I am sure I will come to understand a bit of their language as I grow. I like the food here a lot, mommy was worried that the flavors would be too different but I have enjoyed shawai'mas, lamb kabobs, beef kababs, persian chicken with rice, sweet melon juice, a wonderful gumbo made by my new Uncle Jason, and warm fresh flatbreads with hummus and cucumber garlic sauce which I really loved. Mommy says she is happy that I am so young because I will really grow up with 2 cultures and have a good start on living a diverse and open-minded life. I wanted to show you some new pictures of me but the pictures won't upload right now so hopefully I can do that later.
