Welcome Ramadan Party

Bismillah,

For welcoming our beloved and honorable guest RAMADAN  and for Alishbah to get to know about it we organised a `Welcome Ramadan Party` at home (Alhumdulillah )... I really like when one of my dear friend did it at her home so i thought why not I.. Although it was just a small MOTHER CHILD gathering but MashaAllah it was a hit... I started searching internet what to do in it and mashaAllah there are soo many websites filled with bundles of ideas and thoughts... May Allah Bless all of them inshaAllah.

For the party we decorated our home, made lots of ramadan crafty decoration items (this was my favourite part), made goody item/return gifts for friends and mummies. We also played games, children got interested in solving puzzles, and a storytime in which we watched `Storytime with Zaky (Prophet Ibrahim)` *smiles

I forgot to take pictures of the kids gathering :( but Alhumdulillah took some of home decorations and return gifts pictures

My Helping Hand in cleaning

Bismillah,

Assalam o Alikum Warehmatullahi Wabarakatuhu:

Yes yes i am still alive...  we were on the trip to pakistan for more than 2 months and Alhumdulillah i am back again on blogging.

Today, Alishbah spill her milk. I thought this is a correct time to teach her cleaning so i gave her a tissue paper to wipe and Alhumdulillah she clean the floor neatly :)
Moreover, she now also help me in cleaning other home stuffs.
BIG ALHUMDULILLAH for this helping hand :)

Using Laptop at this young age:O

Bismilah,

I am amazed watching Alishbah that how she works on a laptop at this young age... she can open the laptop on her own, click on a user to get logged-in... browse to her favourite video that she want to watch (i have saved some videos in a particular folder for her)... play the video... pause the video usually when she heards Azaan :)... replay the video when Azaan finishes ALHUMDULILLAH:)

Alishbah dont allow me to take pictures or make a video (i have to do it secretly) of her activities... But whenever i get chance i will do and upload inshaAllah :)

Shapes all around!!

Bismillah,

Yes yes, Ahumdulillah Alishbah knows most of the shapes now... But the funny part which makes me excited and happy is that she identifies them while walking around like tile shapes on floor.. shape of lift buttons... shape of a light bulb... shape of a book... in short any shape that comes around her and this recognizition never finishes Alhumdulillah:)

Following is her movie in which i am drawing some shapes and she is identifying. Still triangle, line and cube are missing which i forgot to draw :)

and aso forgot to mention that she can now draw a some what perfect circle, oval, a line, an apple & half star (hehehe). Will take picture of these shapes and upload them sooon inshaAllah!!

Pictures Recognization

Bismillah,

Long ago Alishbah`s father gifted two books to her. She was very excited after seeing the books while we were just at bookshop. But at that time she was too young and not ready to read them & always tried to tear them off. And now when shes around 22 months old enjoys watching and naming the pictures Alhumdulillah!!!

Following is a movie that i made when she is reading with her father (though she was not allowing me to.... but still i made it secretly hehehehehe :) )
