Yafaau wasn’t sleepy last night so i played with him late midnight. Then around 1am prepared yafaau to sleep. I guess i played too much, he didn’t sleep even at 2am! I had to get up in the morning to work so called samiya and went to bed. Just as i was going to sleep, heard Samiya saying something loud. & Guess what happened! Yafaau burst into tears and he was crying his eyes out! I’m writing this because this is the first time samiya said yafaau loud and first time we noticed yafaau crying because his mama shouted at him. aw! :) wasn’t that cute? Thats yet another gr8 sign. I wasn’t furious with Samiya, she was sleeping until i handed yafaau over. Sign… It was a happy and a tearful moment though. So we both talked and talked but yafaau was murmuring and complaining in his way of expressing his sadness. I tried calming him down while his mama prepared his nightly nestum. After his nightly nestum meal, slept at around 3am. Phew! A night to remember.

It was found that the method enabled most of the young people to learn, who had not previously engaged well with other forms of learning. Two-thirds wanted to continue more permanently.

Constantly, we try to keep the atmosphere and environment as stimulating as possible. Even before Yafaau can even walk or even crawl, interacting with him from different positions within the same room is animating and sometimes funny. We use different approaches like taking Yafaau to a corner of our room when his favourite music comes and variety of materials like Mobile phone and calling with funny sounds from different places.

Hmmm… I guess I also have to tell you all of Yafaau’s ‘favourite’ sounds. Well… he loves the music shown between Television Maldives(local TV) programmes. And he adores the cute baby laugh sound which was very popular recently as a mobile ringtone(here it is)

It was a total surprise to see that Yafaau’s passport had the 4th of january on the date of issue! Normally passports are issued the next working day and the date of issue is this following day. A thumbs up to Dept. of Immigration on their quick public service and a special cheers for the issued date on Yafaau’s PP.

Thank you for visiting Yafaau’s developmental blog. Exactly three years back today at IGM Hospital Samiya gave birth to my first son, Yafaau who ‘almost’ died at birth. Its been three years and the developments of Yafaau we see today are endless efforts of many people. The doctors, physiotherapists, friends and family deserve a lot of credit for their advice and most importantly being there for supporting us.

This noon we went to FDI to get the passport photo for Yafaau’s passport. From 15 of July last year, children under 10 years also require a passport for travelling abroad. http://www.immigration.gov.mv/childrens_pass.htm It was difficult to get the appropriate position because Yafaau still has no Head control but the first three photos we took vanished into thin air!(somehow got deleted) We tried second time and wasn’t able to take an appropriate photo id. After some time they agreed to retouch the photo. They selected this cool photo id for Yafaau’s Passport.
