March came along with cloudless blue skies and warmer weather, which usually means one thing when you’re in Dubai: it’s beach time! I don’t need to tell you how much one of my children loves the beach. A picture is worth a thousand words!

Pristine had been in love with the beach ever since we landed in Dubai in 2007. She’s not tired of it yet. She still keeps on bugging us to go every weekend. So it’s natural that when her baby brother arrived, she could not wait to tell him all about the beach.

She shows him how to just feel your feet in the soft sand. Unfortunately, the water is still cold otherwise, she could have showed him her swimming skills too.

The baby looks on and shows keen interest. I won’t be surprised if I have two humans tugging my skirt every weekend for beach time in the very near future. Meanwhile…

It’s time for some photo op: the baby against Dubai’s famous landmark as backdrop.

His father called him, asking if he loves the beach. The baby turned to look at the interrogator,

…still small and incapable of speech, he gave us this face. I think he wanted to say he loves it, don’t you think so?
