Our baby is turning four on the 9th of December

As you grow more and more aware of your sorroundings and who you are I grow more and more proud of you.

Time runs so fast but your baby days are still in my memories. We dont need one day of the year to celebrate you. We celebrate you every day. Yes even on the days you make me very angry!

We celebrate the curiosity in your eyes and the love in your heart.

We celebrate the very intereting and amusing statements that you come up with from time to time. We love the creative products of your block making. We are so proud when you read the big words on the street sides and on the computer. We are happy to hear that you do so good in school and are the only one who can write your name when you sign in.

The first year of life draws to a close!

As Haroon turns one I cant help but want his birthday to mean something and for him to do some good to someone in someway because there are millions out there that need our help. We therefore decided to celebrate him differently by sharing and giving rather than partying.

I am hoping that if brought up with the right values he will not only appreciate this step but also make an attempt to continue to make his date of birth meaningful in some way.

Nevertheless this day last year brings back memories of my birth story... My decision to be brave and go 100% natural... My fear and the literal outburst of life from within me! To me the birthdays of my children will always be special!
