Yesterday I caught a small bird. As akko says it is a love bird. At first I put it in a basket and showed to Amna and Ahil. They were so excited. Amna was running to and from Donthabe's room, calling to Dhonthabe that there was a bird and to get her a cage. All the time she was shouting with glee. They were beside the bird all the time. Akko came and gave it some seeds and water. Seemingly, the bird was very hungry that it even it ate from Akko's hand. They called her 'Mango' as the wings were mostly in yellow colour.

Later I brought the bird upstairs and they spent the following hours peeping and talking about the bird. Once I saw Ahil singing to the bird. At dusk Akko came with a pink cage and the bird got in easily. Food and water was put inside for the bird and now it has officially found a home with excited Amna and Ahil. I hope that the bird finds happiness in our home, with Ahil and Amna. May be in future we will find it a partner but first we have to find out whether its a boy or a girl.

Alhamdhlillah, Through Ahil and Amna, I get so much happiness, My days and nights are filled with taking care of them, the house is filled with their laughter, excitement and shouts. They are sleeping peacefully now, Just before Amna goes to sleep, she requests every night to sit at the table and work on her colouring, With out getting bored she would continue tracing and coloring pictures. She has started forming sentences, and in between she would say 'thee' (ahil thee mammi thee). She loves niaz very much, she feels very comfortable when niaz is around, If he is around , Amna would always have her bottle with him. Next Sunday Amna would be starting school, My Zaailing Preschool. So today I bought her some clothes, a hat and a pair of shoes, She was happy with her shoes which she would call 'feet'. She was wearing it when she went downstairs.

Ahil is such an active child, Maasha Allah, these days I have started the practice of getting him to pray atleast one prayer. He would keep moving while standing and I would insist on him to keep still and look down, I would remind him that Allah is always watching him, Today is the second time that Ahil had a hair cut from a barber. Ahil loves dragons and dinosaurs. At feeding time, Ahil and Amna danced to the song 'Cho Ka Ka Lo (Gummy bear song ) and "Dance with the animals' from Utube.

When they are asleep, I feel very lonely and miss their sounds, I would lie with them and watch their innocent faces and try to plan the activities that I would do with them tomorrow. Allah has blessed me with two beautiful healthy kids, How merciful Allah is, When I lay awake at nights i miss Insha more. May Allah shower His love and blessings on her soul. Amen I love her so much , I love her and she would always be in my heart.
