Saee turns 10


It is 10 years ! Double digit ! Mr. Hubby and I still can't believe our tiny first baby grew up as a girl. She came into our life on this day and made us parents. Incredible ๐Ÿ˜Š

I remember the day when I requested the Doctor to wait for 15 August. But the due date is already over and it was the 9th day,  so the doctor didn't want to take any risk and  she came ...with natural delivery ๐Ÿ˜Š It was the most beautiful and emotional experience for us.

10 year old 

These memories bring tears to our eyes. Specially Mr. Hubby is attached more to her.  He wrote a letter on her 10 th birthday keeping the tradition to maintain Dad's corner on MemoryFlies.

She was very excited as usual but this time she didn't count her birthday month from January. Hmmm... I guess this is a sign of a growing girl. 

So the birthday girl demands a birthday party only with her friends and does not want to do anything like a small baby birthday kind. Means she doesn't want that birthday cap, birthday banner, candles and doesn't want to wear frill frocks. 


And we nodded ๐Ÿ˜Š


She wanted to be simple and to mingle with friends. So the birthday party was small at home. 

Pappa took off from the office. She didn't sleep till 11:15 on 13 August but I insisted on sleeping so she could have a good sleep because she wanted to go to school. In the morning we hugged the birthday girl and wished by singing a song. My twins were looking at us and then their sister.

I made her all her favourite meals. Breakfast was Paratha, juice, tiffin box was potato cheese sandwich and dinner was paneer burji gravy with Paratha. Everything was YUM! According to her ๐Ÿ˜‰ Happy Me!


Then she gets ready for school. The first time she distributed chocolates in her school. She loved it when the whole class wished her. Every time there is a long list of guests and so I was unable to send her school. This year there were no grown up so she actually enjoyed her birthday with her friends. Kids love to be with their age group. 

I guess birthday parties should be for only kids. What do you think?


The menu was simple. Butterscotch flavour cake, as she wants to try something else apart from chocolate cake. Lots of chips, her favourite small kachori and cold drink MAZA with chocolate along with cornflakes chivda. It is fulfilling and followed by dinner. I cooked her favourite dish at home - paneer burji gravy with butter paratha.

The birthday party ended with a game. They played by themselves and we didn't interfere with kids. My twins enjoyed it too with so much loud voice. 


So the favourite part of the post. Celebration was at a low level but this is the first birthday where I saw her so so happy. The way she wanted to be.


Emotional : 

She is getting more emotional nowadays. If something happened tears automatically flowing from her eyes. 


Physical  : 

Get tired very fast. She is more into outdoor games. She had lots of walks and running.


Favourite food : 

Still her favourite is Paneer,  homemade chicken and mutton, butter chicken, chicken kabab, parathas, etc She loves to have all seasonal fruits. Yep, she is a foodie and so the list will be long.


Siblings Love: 

she is very sensitive about siblings. Handle them very well. Morning starts with hugs and plays.


Favourite activity : 

Greeting card making, love to do painting by watching youtube. 


Favourite show : 

Aau piyu show, wonderland family sometimes, love to watch art channels. Barbie , miss Rachel, cocomelon are still her favourite.


Favourite movie : Still not into it. 


Favourite books :  Geronimo Stilton series. 


She is not a morning person and loves to sleep. She loves to organise her books, study table and her wardrobes. According to her she managed it well but I have to do some sort of checking in between... You know mommy- things 

She loves to study history and EVS.  Her favourite subject was studying Shivaji Maharaj. She still didn't like Maths. 

Recently we changed her board from STATE to CBSE . So there is a huge change in school, studies, friends circle and everything. Yes, I know she is going away slowly because of her school, play time and studies. 

Dad's corner : 

A letter from dad on her 9 th birthday. 

A letter from dad on her 7 th birthday

And we as parents are still adjusting to these tiny things. 



My favourite time : We talked for at least 10 minutes at bed time. Where she shares everything about her whole day. I love to keep this tradition. Let's see. 

Saee turns 9 

Saee turns 8 

Saee turns 3

I am grateful to God for giving such a sweet daughter. We as parents do not have any expectations. Rather we are accepting the way she developed as a human being. Our attempt to make her a good human being. 

Happy Birthday my little doll. Stay blessed and stay happy always my love ๐Ÿ’•.
