Hye blog! It must have been months since I last write in here. I took advantage on facebooking. It seems too convenient and fast to pour in your thoughts there. But still, nothing beats like writing a real paragraphs. I miss it! A lot..
Many things have happened over the last few months, good things and bad things too. And I don’t know where to begin really. The passing of a good colleague/friend really surprised me and everyone. Few colleagues are expecting babies this year. Work wise, not much to tell. I am stucked with FYP for the last two weeks and it has been rather too overwhelming for me. I hate it, a lot. And I have also learned to dislike things and expressed it this time during the meetings, which is good. Maybe. :) So enough of work, too boring and to routine to tell in here.
The kids are growing up so fast. The boy is already 1 yr 2 mths. His first word is mama, wow!! I am so over the moon I bragged over and over again with DH! Finally after two ‘papa’ in a row, I get to hear mama first this time around. What better ways to celebrate mother’s day than to hear your baby calls you mama. :) Actually his vocabs are brilliant now, as in german talks, but it sounded something like nenen, anda yadayaya, papapapa…oh well they are good enough for someone who is barely 14 mos. And guess what, more baby steps. Getting confident day by day and he is clapping his hands and screams in joy with each new step. He knows how to reward himself heh. And, he still has that smiles that can melt you in 2 secs. Such a happy boy. See for yourself, there…you cant stop smiling too can you?
And Syafiqah, the cute sister and the happiest among the crowd. The clown too. Haha. I don’t know, she must have inherited her dad’s good sense of humor, which is partly good and partly annoying. Haha, but I still love her so much. Her vocabulary is amazing. She will correct you in no time if she spots you are using the wrong sentence or words. And, she is always right. Wonder where she gets that? Hehe. She has good appetite too; you definitely have to watch it when she eats. Very active that she usually sleeps at midnight, unless you bring her to bed early. Actually the musketeers have trouble sleeping at night. I wonder where they got the energy to stay awake after a long day at school. The cute button nose, sexy pout, and rosy cheeks really compliment her. She bites aiman and syuhada intermittently but no preferences though, sometimes aiman and syuhada will bite her in return. So fair enough. If you have 3 kids that is almost the same age, this thing happen a lot and its practically normal! After some time, I am so used to kids crying after 5 mins we reached home from school. And hear them laughing few secs after that. Parenting 101- lesson no 1!
Finally, the big sister. Syuhada. I just realized that she will be 5 this year. Time really flies so fast. There is always this something extra special with the first child. The first experience, the first smile, the first cry, the very first baby poops, and most importantly being parents for the first time. Everything is first with her. And today, she has grown into almost a lady like character but still a kiddy version of Cinderella. Very helpful too, in the kitchen and at the home front, you name it. Sweeping the floor, washing dishes, baking, and laundry, the list just goes on. Though I still have to monitor her and she folded her clothes terbalik, but hey I think there is a start for something. And as parents we should encourage our children to be independent. And, she always amazed me with her empathy and sensitivity towards her surroundings, especially for those unfortunate. Her elephant memory is awesome too, so please ensure you keep your promises to her. I have one thing I don’t feel like having more in her for example her likings towards boy’s stuff like warrior’s cartoons, guns, ultraman, transformers and etc. And this is tough! She must understand that she will scare my potential son in law if she loves hagemeru too much. And, she thinks smurf sucks. Oh dear, I grew up with smurfs and I think they are the coolest blue dwarfs ever!
Me and hubby. Us. We. Alhamdulillah. Everything is alright; we do fight but still go crazy over each though. Is there any good term to explain it? Funny how love works kan? :) Every day, I pray that we will forever be heads over heels for each other, all for Allah. Truth is, in reality you will never find someone who ultimately has all your requirements to be your life partner, but getting that someone who can commit to you sincerely is far too good already. If he can be your good friend, be loveable dad and cracks up jokes when you are upset, you must have a million excuses not to be grateful. He gave me this for mother’s day; (price tag lupa buang) hehe..oklah, it’s the thought that counts really.
Actually any mother in this world will agree that the kids are the best gift ever for mother’s day. No doubt. 5 years and 3 kiddos, it has been an exhilarating and challenging years for me. Not an easy task, no holiday, no rest, and unpaid job BUT honestly, it’s worth it. My life has changed dramatically, but I wouldn’t change it for anything. Being a mommy is too magical and beautiful. I am blessed. Happy mother’s day to my mom, MIL, sisters, and friends. You are special and you know it.
