Zie~Naz~Umar~Zakyin San Diego
August 05 Kiddos and their language..Of 4 different occasions:
1) Mummy was getting Zaky ready, putting on lotion, cream (all sorts!), nappy..., While Umar was next to us with Zaky's lotion on his hand and applied it on his feet. Mummy just watching him and told him not to use to much. He massage his feet with the lotion, and after he finished he said, "Now I fixed my bones."
Mummy, "Ha?..."
 What is it? What did u say?.."Umar, "I already fix my bones in my feet"..
Mummy, "How do you do that?.." Mummy already know what he meant, lotion did the job...but curious to know how he's gonna explain it.
Umar, "When I put the lotion, my bones are getting better, I fix it." (Mummy thought so...Hahahaha.....
 )2) Zaky in the bath playing with the water in pail and the toys. Mummy left him for a minute to check something in the kitchen. When Mummy's back..Umar was there and he said, "I water Zaky so that he will grow." (budak..budak..)
Mummy then replied, "I think Zaky's not a plant Umar, he needs food and drink to grow. We only water the plants"
3) Tiba2 terlupa lah pulak...
 (remember again after weeks..)Umar pulled out the toy club from its head, and use it to play. He put parts of wooden train blocks (that got hole in it) thru the club stick, various colours and shapes. And he came to me..
"Mummy I'm cooking kebab.."
Mummy,"What kind of kebab is that?.."
"It's fruit kebab...Which colour you like Mummy?.."
Mummy, "The yellow one..what fruit is that?.."
"I think it's lemon. Good choice Mummy, it has vitamin J,K and L" (hahahaha....
)When we talk about food and their vitamins and what it is for, he always ask other vitamins than the usual ones, A,B,C,D,E.
I think he still assume vitamins are from A-Z!
Umar, "I want to keep this for Ayah when he comes back from work.."
4) We were doing some colouring together in Thomas Colouring book. And he was colouring the moon with blue crayon. So Mummy asked him, "Why your moon is blue Umar?"
Umar, "When the white moon did not come out, the blue moon will come out"
July 19 "Who will marry me Mummy..?.."Yesterday at the dining table...Mummy was having early dinner, and Umar was eating cereal without milk as his snack. Mummy trying to make him finish his snack before we go out to play. So we were talking about food, food gives energy, all sorts of vitamins etc, African people without food...at this topic, Umar will always say...
"African people, they only have beans to eat...And they have no toys to play"..
"Yes Umar", Mummy replied. "And you should be thankful that Allah gives us food to make you strong. Allah can make your bones strong you know.."
Then Umar answered.."Allah make our bones?.."
"Yes..And Allah create us Umar.."
"So Allah make you. .....And you marry Ayah. ...And who will marry me?... I don't have anyone to marry me Mummy."
 Hehehehehe....ketawa Mummy dalam hati!...And I smiled at him at his frowning face! (serious mukanye! Takde org nak kahwin dia!..Hahahaha...)"Don't worry Umar...It's not the time yet. U got school and lots of things to do first..."
"I want Ayah to marry me...and you marry Zaky Mummy."
 iyelah tu Umar... Ayah saje favourite dia!.. After few minutes, both of us finished our food and ready to go out with Zaky (was trying on Umar's crocs as always! hehehe.. We'll get you one when the smallest fits you ok.. )June 06 Of Allah & Rezeki..One conversation with Umar few days back that Mummy cannot forget.
I was helping Umar to put up his underpants and trousers quickly since Zaky is screaming at the top of his lung in his cot as Mummy left him for few minutes to help Umar in the bathroom..(Zaky is good at crying so loud! when sleepy and wanted Mummy to dukung him to sleep! Urrgggghhh....Day and Night!)
While Mummy's mind is on Zaky and trying to tell Umar 1,2,3 things that he need to do after finished in the bathroom. So Mummy spoke fast and loud (while saying.."Listen..Umar! Listen!
 ..coz he never stop talking, and talking!..) And just after I finished the instructions to him in less than a minute may be (like a bullet train-tetetetetete... -trying to get back asap to Zaky that is still screaming!..) then Umar said seriously!.."Mummy...Don't speak too fast and too loud...Because Allah won't give you rezeki,...if we speak to fast and too loud." (with very serious face staring at Mummy's face!
 )Mummy's reaction -terkejut at first
  ..and Hahahahaha...nak ketawa, but I did not...try to be serious... So Mummy goes,"Really..?.."
"Mmmm...I think you'r right Umar.." (It did..hit me hard!...I shouldn't shout to my toddler!...Too many of these incidents previous week (coz Umar hardly listen to what Mummy told him to do!!!
)...that is why Umar cannot stand it!.. (Hey! Your Mummy cannot stand you not listening to Mummy too!!!!.. )Mummy trying to look at it positively...
"Ok Umar..I'm sorry..I try not to shout at you ok...But can you please listen to what Mummy say....And you know what....If you don't listen to your Mummy, Allah won't give you rezeki too...And you cannot buy anymore toys.."
So Umar goes.."OK Mummy..." with frowning face.. (But Mummy knows Umar still Umar...
Just wish he's gonna listen better..)Umar actually using word rezeki as we always explain to him during meals that we have to finish our food (always took him ages to finish his meal!) coz it is rezeki from Allah..And don't forget to thank Allah (and say Alhamdulillah..) for what Allah have given us...If we don't finish our food, may be Allah cannot give us more rezeki coz you don't finish what Allah already given you...(Hope it make sense to a toddler!!..
  )March 24 Time flies..And the two boys are growing day by day..
Umar is now 3 yrs 7 mths and Zaky 8 mths. It's amazing watching the changes/development time by time... A baby, I have seen and experience one when I had Umar.. But Zaky cries so loud!!
unlike Umar.. Zaky sleeps a lot less! than Umar when Umar was baby.. Or may be Umar slept so much when he was baby!  The big brother that fascinated Mummy..
Looking at Umar now and 6-7 mths ago... Mummy can see that he can do a lot more now. How much a child can learn in 6 mths time! (This is a child not going to school (Umar just started 2 weeks ago..) and no schedule whatsoever at home! Just trying to teach him whenever there's opportunity in whatever he do!) He can read better..I was surprised sometimes he reads fast! Especially familiar story books. At 3rd b'day he can only write letter A. Now he can write lots of letters, although not all of them. Months ago, he surprised Mummy by writing Thomas's name (with a chalk on the pavement at a playground)all by himself - Mummy only explained to him how to do the letters e.g. T-you do line from up to down, then on top a line from left to right, M-you make a line go up, then down, then up then down again, S is like a snake. So Thomas is the first full word he ever written in his life!
After a few days he's interested to write his own name, which he can do it, except for distorted R at the end..
Alhamdulillah...Thanks to Allah..I really did not put much effort on these stuffs... The essential in early learning..for life!
At 3 yrs old he can read Al-Fatihah & Al-Ikhlas, now he can also do An-Nas (he said surah with Ayah's name!) and Al-Falak. Alif-Ba-Ta, he's familiar with about 13 arabic letters now, Alif to Syim. He did A-i-u, Ba-bi-bu..but Mummy not sure how much has he got that.. (Mummy still forgot to take out Iqrak! Lupa mana letak!!)
Last weekend at Majlis Tahlil in LA, first time ever.. Umar sit down with Ayah all the way thru baca Yassin and all in Tahlil..Until the closing doa. Alhamdulillah... Our friends know how playful, energetic, and susah nak dgr kata si Umar ni!! (so far..But Mummy doa he can listen more to us soon!!!! Amin..) And he can do the Tahlil with us.. Of course with 'umpan'lah.. Ayah said he can get a present if he stayed throughout-of course few times he's asking.. "Are we done yet..?" Kuat2 pulak tu!.. There's about 20-30 adults for the Majlis, and children were playing around.. He was excited when reciting Al-Fatihah, Al-ikhlas, An-Nas, Al-Falak coz he knows them.. Also when 'La-ila-ha-illa-Allah..he did it like adults, nodding the head and all... Mummy doa Umar will be anak soleh for us... Amin..
And for that he asked a present of Hot Wheels... It's ok whatever he wants coz we r so happy that he joined the Tahlil throughout. So next day, went to the shop as promised. We thought he's gonna choose the one that he showed us from the internet (he browse himself..as always..). At the shop, he told Ayah.. "I don't want that Hot Wheels with racing machine because that is for my 4th birthday." (yeah..whenever he saw that Hot Wheels racing machine on the computer, he will want to show Mummy and said Can I have that for my 4th b'day..? Mummy will say...Yes, of course..if you are a good boy.) And he chose the 94 cents! Hot Wheel van instead!
And few days back.. he surprised Mummy by doing the 1st puzzle that Mummy ever bought him (like 1.5 year ago!) all by himself. It was quite a challenge for a 3 yr old. It's a 25 piece puzzle. He nearly got bored before finishing it few times.. But Mummy encouraged him, and Alhamdulillah..eventually he did it all by himself. I told him..Good boy don't give up..They try and try...And he told Ayah exactly the same words when Ayah came back from work that day. Everyday Mummy try to make him do something to surprise Ayah.. be it anything Art, projects, writing..and this works with Umar. Tapi ada hari taknak buat ape2 pun ada.. And he got weekend like us too..Outing, relaxing..
Mummy & Ayah doakan Umar menjadi anak soleh, cerdik-pandai... Aaminnn.. And Zaky too!!
February 27 TAG! U're it!This is what Umar likes to play with Mummy.
 kejar  ,kejar Umar, Zaky ketawa! Hahahaha...But this time Mummy been TAGged by FP friend, Mrika who've been tagged by Delia, been tagged by Mommy D&d, been tagged by MamaFami. The CyberTag Game is going on.. But I'm not going to tag the next 6 people...They r all been tagged! Hahahahha...
So the Tag Game this time is What's 6 Weird Things About Yourself. Hhmmm...Am i weirdo?
Hehehehe...I kinda roughly read the chain people (listed above) in this CyberTag game, Weird Things 'bout them. Some of them sort of hard to think about 'What's weird stuff about me huh..?..'
To those finally came up with 'Hhmm..this is something different about me..' Kira bolehlah tu...Pasal bukannya kita weirdo..hahahha... But we do certain things that not lotsa people do that. And Mrika came out with more than 6 huh..? You'r special then... These r the things that make life colourful, isn't it..?  Especially when your hubby is the one who put up with all your 'weirdo's... So here goes Moi! 1) I like the smell of Petrol!! So Petrol Station is one of the place that I like to breathe in..Hahahaha... Luckily in the States petrol is cheaper than UK! Boleh sesat jalan selalu!..
2) I sleep with minimum of 4 pillows!
  That's not included the small ones! On the bed we have 6 big pillows and 4-5 of them r mine, hubby is lucky to get 2 without me taking it over! Hehehehe...When I got married, my sister asked hubby, 'Do U have space on the bed?..Knowing Minah Bantal..' And recently Hubby told my sister, 'Sampai sekarang Minah Bantal..Kalau boleh anak2 dia sekali nak dijadikan Bantal!' Therefore whenever we r at the hotel.. One of my worries is 'Will there be enough pillows for me??' And usually ended up with ThrowOvers or extra towels as pillow on my head. Others to use all around me! Hhhmmm....Sleeping Beauty..What to do.. Hehehe...3) I love 'jemur kain'..in the sun I mean. When it's not Winter in UK. Jemur Kain is really an art for me. I will spend the time I need to line them nicely according to the type of clothes (socks r my fav. to arrange!) & use similar clothes pegs on same group (used to have 2-3 diff.types), cross-check to make sure every clothes got optimal sunlight! (This means the big ones inside, the smaller ones at outer lines) I can even volunteer to put on lines my friend's clothes! coz I love the Art of it! (when we used to have friends staying with us) And sometimes to the extend of colour co-ordinates. I miss this as here in the States, Condos here (San Diego at least), it's the rule u cannot dry yr clothes outside. Hhhmmm...Dryer can make your clothes shrink and shrink! So I bought Zaky 2-3 yrs old socks already! Hahahahaha...
By the way, I don't like 'Lipat Kain'!!! But still I have too.. 4) Talking 'bout clothes..Another thing about me is..I cannot do ironing!
 I tried and tried...That was before and just after I got married, but to no avail. My sister will never forget the night I made hole of her kain sekolah when been nice trying to help in ironing!, when that night both of us r to get on the Express Bus to Boarding School (Sekolah sama kakak! )And she has to wear it coz that's her only kain sekolah! Hehehehe... But my Kakak was so patient...Until now, I think she's the Angel one. I can't even think she ever screamed to her 3 children like Me! to my Umar! Zaky belum kena.. Go back to the topic of 'Gosok Baju'...I once been taught by my brother on how to iron men's shirt...Huiyo..Took me an hour trying to do it! Therefore all ironing done by my beloved Hubby! Thank you Sayang! hehehehe  He does it better and quicker. So he got to choose his iron and stuff for ironing. His territory! Hehehehe...5) I'm obsessed with 'boggies' in baby's nose! (that's what our friends say!) (Toddler dah tak boleh, they can retaliate!) Since born..Anything I see in their nose, will make me think the nose is not clean and they will have difficulties in breathing. So I will pick them out. Knowing babies.. Cian anak2 aku.. Janganlah sampai hidung kembang2..hehehehe..After 2-3 months watching his Mummy did that, Zaky has developed Martial Art himself not letting me do that anymore!
Gerammnyee Mummy ni..Stopppp!! And so far we got 3-4 types of Nasal Aspirator. Itu betul2 berguna if they have a cold. 6) And I'm a clean freak when it comes to feed my baby!
 (3 yr old Toddler 50-50! ) However I have a number of bibs coz I like to buy them! Any single drop on baby's face, bib, tray...I will stop and clean them up! Be it ten times going to the kitchen to and fro! But Umar was better than Zaky. Zaky can even 'Bbbbuuu' me while eating.. Giving Mummy more job and have to spend more time feeding him! When Umar was 1+(in UK), while I was pushing him in a stroller in town and he's having ice-cream. A lady said to me.."I'm amazed to see him not in a mess with the ice-cream!" I just smiled.. Walhal Mummy ni every minute stop and check whether he got a drop of ice-cream at/around his lips or not..Hahahaha...Ok... I'm tired! Need a cuppa now!
 (can do all this coz I successfully pinned down the 2 boys to sleep! Proud and happy coz Dad/Ayah who's normally put them to sleep is not in the country!  )Suppose there are few more things that i think make me different..(terlebih2 kang jadi Weirdo pulak! hehehe..
) But enough for now. Hope it's satisfactory to the WebTag Tagger! Hehehehe...
