In this blog, i wish to write the wonderful experiences, sweet things and memories I have of my children. Ahil and Amna are so lively, both unique in their own ways and so dependent on me. From the first days, Ahil loves animals, the sounds that animals make and likes looking at animals. Being a small sister Amna follows his brother's footsteps. So by the time Amna started walking, she has come to love animals too. Sometimes I would see Amna opening her mouth as if imitating a tiger's or lions roar. Ahil would often play with his collection of animals; sometimes the horse would be run on the window sill and other times the tiger and dinosaur would be attacking with each other.

Today Ahil played with small blocks. He arranged the blocks and made a building. Then he took a toy animal and it was run on the blocks. Amna and Ahil loves playing catch ball. Ahil has not yet mastered the art of catching a ball. Last night I played ball with Ahil and tried to teach him how to catch the ball. Amna was also in this game and sometimes I throw the ball to her and she would give it back to me.

Amna loves to do the jump act. She would make her small body go up and down even though her tiny feet does not lift from the floor. And when we give her attention and encouragement, she would get excited and would turn round and round at the same time giving the jump act.

Amna is in love with the book "BUBBLES GOES TO SCHOOL". Whenever I read out the words to her she would make happy sounds. She knows where the book is kept and would always bring it to me asking me to read the story. Below are some of the writings which are in the book.

"WHAT IS SCHOOL LIKE, MUMMY" Bubble says.
"HELLO HELLO BUBBLES, WELCOME TO SCHOOL BUBBLES" Aunty says.
"WASH YOUR HANDS CHIDLREN, IT'S TIME FOR TEA" Aunty says.
"LETS PLAY HIDE AND SEEK, 1 2 3 READY OR NOT HERE I COME"
"ITS TIME TO GO HOME" Aunty says.
"NO NOT YET" Bubble says.
"HOW WAS SCHOOL?" Mum says.
"FUN". Bubble says.

A letter to my children
