One Mother's Pride & Joy (And Hope)

ms muslimah in the making. she looks a lot like Tebby.

Kakak told me she nodded off while in sekolah agama yesterday. She said she was tried. Well, what do i expect from a 7yo who just started primary and at the same time sekolah agama. Her schedule is as pack as mine. I better start looking for options i think. Oh ya, she also told me that yesterday, ustazah asked 'siapa sayang ibu?'. Kakak angkat tangan cepat-cepat, tinggi-tinggi.. she said. oww..... now.. isn't she sweet...

Iman, always busy doing something..
Don't be tricked by his soft exterior.. he's one little tiger

Iman is another story to tell. He spends his kindy-hours outdoor regardless of the activities or what other kids his age should be doing. Occasionally he would be indoors but then again, he does everything on his own accord. No wonder his uniform are all dirty everyday (that i had to order 2 more extra pairs). Well, what do you expect from a barely 4yo boy who is having a mild-hyperactivity symptoms. After exactly a week of kindy, he suddenly gave me a pat on the head and said 'apa khabar?'. That was his most clear, comprehendable sentence so far. Perhaps among the moments I've been waiting and looking forward to. I know this is quite late for kids his age but this is Iman, my son who still doesn't really converse eventho he is already more than 3yo. So, when he does, I really treasure the moment. The excitement is just like seeing him taking his first step, so to speak. I'm giving him another 6 months or so before deciding if he needs special attention. As a mother, I just hope he's keeping things within himself and hoping that in the next few months, he'd just spill everything out.
