Rida celebrates her third birthday

14 September 2006
Rida is now three years old. Exactly three. Wow, how time flies!!!
We held a small party to celebrate Rida's birthday. Two of my cousins were present with their family, along with our two immediate neighbours. We made this a low key event just because we want to celebrate Rayan's first birthday in a big way on 28th. Here are a few snaps from the occasion:

Rida's ears have been pierced

Rida and Muskaan (Farheen's sister's daughter, who is 6 months younger to Rida) had to have their ears pierced, something we had been holding off for a long a time now. We are in Nellore at the moment (to attend a cousin's wedding) and we took both the girls to a jewellery shop yesterday evening. A boy took a sharp gold needle and pierced the ears...ouch!!!
Did the girls cry? Of course they did. But, it was OK. They cried for, may be, two minutes but were fine after that. Now, they see each other's ears and are proud of the studs that adorn them. So are we :-)
