Hairless....

Ehsan was born with very little hair. Erica too. Both of them inherit it from me. Mummy used to say that my hair look like bulu jagung when I was 2 y o. So it shows how little and fine my hair was. I still remember when I was in boarding school and I asked a friend of mine to tie my hair. She refused to tie as she afraid that she might loosen my hair. That is also the reason why I keep my hair short to make it look like I have a full head of hair.

And talking about hair, we never ever shaved Ehsan's head as even waiting for his hair to grow took years. The 1st time he had his hair cut was before Farah's wedding last December. Well his hair is now long at the back so we decided to cut it (I can even tie his hair ; goes to show how long his hair is!). But cutting his hair is not easy as he is a hypochondriac. He would scream and roll his body the moment I showed him the scissors. So hubby had to find another way.

Yesterday hubby asked Ehsan to make his drawings on the white board. While he was busy concentrating on that, Hubby began to snip at Ehsan's hair at the back. He got suspicious occasionally, as we would giggle after each cut. We managed to trim the back and sides, so now Ehsan has a new hair cut (even though it is not as good as a barbers) - The best thing is that he looks like a boy now!

This is Ehsan at 1 - so little hair he has

Mama & Baba - the birthday planner

In 10 days to come Erica will turn 1 year old. And of course we are busy preparing for her birthday bash that is plan to be held on 29th March 2008. Why late and not much earlier? It is because ... hubby is so nice to bring us all to Jordan for our holiday and also as another presents for me and Erica's birthday...

As of now what we had prepared are some goody bags, door gifts and invitation cards for the party. The items in the bags are all bought in Malaysia when hubby went back in February. Betapaku memaksa suamiku mencari semuanya untuk anak tercinta...

Why we are so excited preparing for the birthday bash is because this is the 1st time we are celebrating our child's birthday. We never had the opportunity to celebrate it as family during Ehsan's 1st & 2nd birthday since me & Ehsan were always in Malaysia for summer holiday. So for Erica's 1st birthday we decided to do all out for her and execute it by ourself. From the cards to door gifts to decoration and also food. Despite being tired preparing it we know we will be happy with the result. We will be proud and happy for her.

So here are some pictures of the preparation. We had to do all these once the kids are already in their dreamland. Usually we will start at 12 pm until 3 am. Ini baru birthday party. I don't know how it would look like if it is their wedding ceremony later on....Hmmmm sungguh advance....

So here are some of the stuff that I put in the goody bag for the kids together with some sweets and a boxed drink.

Here are pictures of hubby decorating the invitation card to be send out. Designs and ideas were done by both of us. We need to send it out before our holiday on 19th March.

Last but not least is the door gift for the parents on that day. Hubby made it. It is a collection of Ehsan & Erica's favorite music plus a video clip hubby made specially for Erica.
