today ail gave Amna her milk.in the other days sometime janooca,kudaththa or i used to give her milk. but today ahil gave her milk. it was fun seeing both of them together.

when i was about 5 years old, i used to play with inshudhaththa.in those times, my cousin nunnu used to live in this house. we three used to play together. inshudhaththa used to teach us how to sing little maid songs.we used to sing a lot of songs together.and every time when inshudhaththa used to take me to her room, nunnu cries because we don't take her with us. so every time we take nunnu with us too.every day we made omelets by ourselves. we used to add pepper.we always play who took the cookie.inshudhaththa is a fan of abheejeet, the indion idol singer. she has a picture of him pasted near her bed. i loved to play with inshudhaththa.

when i go, Amna gets so excited that she jumps up and down. she is very fond of me. every time she says akko, my grandmother tells to call her akko dhaththa.and ahil, when i am with him in the evening while he has milk, he never lets anyone else but me give him milk.

Amna is very fond of buttons, bows, beads and other things like it.every time she sees shaffutha with beads, she picks some beads and plays with them.and every time she sees my dress, shirts and jeans with buttons, she plays with them.she thinks that hairballs are spiders. and every time she sees any hairball, she comes toward me and says"pider thuthuu tedj"pider means spider, thuthuu means in kids words thuuthu which are insects and other living things. and tedj in amna's word means there or here. it is fun playing with ahil and Amna.

With the blessings of Allah, Amna and Ahil are growing beautifully. I am struggling with Ahil's constant sickness. I hope one day that Ahil will completely be cured, insha Allah.

Amna has started talking, Alhamdhulillah, It is such a joy to see her trying to say the words after us. She has a keen interest to coluring, Maasha Allah. She takes a colour or a pencil and will start to make dots or blobs on the wall, floor, books whatever is within her reach. Ahil and Amna love to jump from their father's back (while niaz is lying on the bed) on to the bed, I have tried so many times to take a picture while they are high up in the air, but every time I fail, I guess they are much too fast for me.

Ahil is still in love with his toy animals, even though he is so keen to watch cartoons. He will even ask me to cut out a dragon from paper, and he would play with it, imagining that the dragon is real when he makes it fly in the air.

Amna likes to experiment cutting with a small scissor, and she likes to show me her cuttings. She likes when I get excited seeing her doing different things.

Last week we went to Villingilli with the kids. We had a wonderful time, with Ahil and Amna playing on the swings, sliding, playing with sand, climbing the trees, running across the roads especially Ahil shouting Kudathabey Kudathabey. Sometimes Ahil used to refer to his Dad kudathabey ... And by the time we came home we were so tired from all the hectic activities we experienced in Villingili.
