Noor Ud Din's Haircut

Noor Ud Din had a hair cut a few days back. At first he didn't know what was happening but when hair dryer came into the picture he started crying slowly with tears in his eyes and his bulleee out in the open.

Walking Noor Ud Din

Allah has blessed me with a multitude of Joyous occassions but the joy that I got from watching Noor Ud Din walk on his own, I never felt before. He had taken a few steps a few weeks back and Maryam had already started worrying that Noor Ud Din is not walking on his own and if asked prefers to crawl. Obvious comparisions increased her motherly worries which are always on the edge of mothers.

But I knew he would do so in his own time and as per his own wishes. Just a day before I took his hand and made him walk and turn in our big lounge, just to give him confidence that he can do it if he wants to.

And right next day after coming home from office, I got the good news that he has been walking all day! And that too without anyone requesting him.

I got to see his Zombie walk as well :) since he walks with both his hands hanging in front of him like zombies, helping him to balance. Once he was about to fall but he took care of himself and balanced himself out of trouble.

It felt so good, watching Noor Ud Din walk, even now if I think about it, it feels just like him i.e. Thando :)

Crawling Under the Bed

In order to protect some of our gadgets from Noor Ud din, we keep it in my side table. So when Noor Ud Din is moving freely, we protect that side of the room by closing the area by putting his cot and chest of drawers. The strategy though successful initially didn't last long, since Noor Ud Din the 'crawler' found another way.
