Aash at Home

The Hole -Tooth! Yesterday when I went home form work, Isa was naturally very excited showing off his tooth and hole in mouth to everyone. He was taking his tiny little tooth everywhere with him. I told him he needs to keep it in a safe place until tonight when it will be time for him to put it under the pillow just in time for the tooth fairy to come and take it away and leave him a present. He finally put it in a drawer and went to Walmart with Ajee, Yusuf and I . We were done shopping and were just about to leave Wal-Mart when suddenly Ajee realized that we had forgotten something very important. I gestured him to go buy it while I keep the kids entertained. He told us he really needs to run to the restroom and left. Yusuf as usual was having a ball as he was allowed to run loose in this huge store. Ajee called and it was finally time for us to head back, he had hid the gift in the car so no one could see it. By the time we got home it was Isa's bed time. Whil...

I figured, the day (that Isa had been anxiously waiting for) had arrived.  He quickly came out and told me " Amma ---abba was brushing my teeth really really hard and it came out!" The first baby tooth was finally out of the mouth after weeks of wiggling and literally years of waiting (since his friends had started losing theirs over a year ago).   I asked for him to show me. "what the hole in my mouth or the tooth? " Both would be great, thanks. My little Baby Isa is growing up so fast!!  I just want time to freeze sometimes as I look at both him and Yusuf!!  Yusuf is at such a fun age and is truly a delight to be around. He has such a loud expressive personality and I can already see the little jokester in him. Sometimes I wonder what is ...
