Too many aunts, too little baby!

Today Kadin met my cousin Maleeha and his Dadi's (Urdu word for grandmother, in this case used for great-aunt's) Popy, Chubbo & Roohi. It was an absolutely wonderful time! They just went nuts over him! Maleeha had her fair share of baby-madness as well, mind you.

Kadin made out with some excellent loot: Ceramic letters spelling his name, several great outfits (including a nice vest & his first tie!), an Ottawa Senators track suit (heh), a hand knitted blanket, a nicely framed picture of his Maham & Zahrah Phuppo (Urdu word for aunt) , and a generous contribution to his education fund.

Although Tonia & I spent a great afternoon just hanging out with them, it was clear Kadin was the star attraction. Hell, he even had his Dadi's fighting for the right to change his diaper!

The afternoon finished with Kadin taking a luxurious nap in a soft hotel bed. We'll be sure to be spending more time with his Maleeha Phuppo and assorted Dadi's before they leave on Monday.
