Family Day and Sport Day at LC

Family Day and Sport Day at LC

Semalam setengahari kami berhitam-hitaman kat padang. melayan sufia az-zahra punya family day utk Little Caliphs.. haha sebenarnya rasa best jugak sebab dah lama x join sukaneka. dulu masa kat Melbourne ada jugak sebenrnya tapi xdan nak join sbb time tu sufia baby pon lagi. so sape plak nak jaga anak den..

[a preparation for marching]

kami gerak pagi dari rumah dalam pukul 7.15am. terus ke Instititut Perguruan Tun Hussien Onn BP. hehe ingatkan dah lambat le tu. tapi tapi kami sampai gate tu, ramai je lagi orang baru nak masuk. so ok la takla rasa hampeh sangat.

yang kat gambo atas tu, adalah masa diorang siap2 nak berarak. so kena kumpul kat bawah khemah dulu. satu perkara funny time tu adalah, kawan2 rapatnya ada 2 3 orang dok datang kat dia and cubit pipi sufia masa sufia sampai tu. hahahhaha kelako. tetibe teringat aku masa tingkatan satu-tiga, kawan2 sekolah aku budak2 cina pon suke picit2 pipi I masa perhimpunan sekolah. cikgu berucap kitorang buat bising kat belakang :P

mmg seronokla tgk budak2 ni masuk acara. sufia pon ada masuk 2 acara. kelako memasing. lagi2 yang umur 4 tahun. mmg belom matang..ada yang siap cikgu pimpinkan tangan lagi.. hahhaha.. yang sufia pulak kawan baik dia si Damia dah menangis..menangis meraung2 lak tu. sufia memula cool lagi. lama2 dia macam pendam2 nak nangis. sekali ada satu point tu aku ngan teacher usik dia, terus meleleh air mata dia adoiii..anak aku turun gerimis jugak akhirnya.. aduh duh duh.. dah la berhingus. menangis pulak..kelako...

last sekali sebelum balik kitorang join game untuk family. tapi kitorang kalah haha sebab aku lembab :P  apa pon wpun rasa dah berkilat giler semalam and muka pon dah hitam dah ni, kira best la family day semalam. cuma sayangnya semalam cuaca panassss gile giler tu yang x tahan tu. and rupa2nya malam tadi nak hujan sebab tu kot siang tu panas yang amat..

insyaAllah kalau ada rezeki tahun depan join lagi..hehe


***semalam yang penat..

Potty training part 3

Potty training part 3

Susulan kisah Sufia yang dah potty train ni. Alhamdulillah 98% Sufia dah berjaya potty train.


Sekarang ni kalau keluar mmg tak pakai nappy dah. Pakai panties je. And dia mmg akan cakap kalau dia nak ke toilet. Yang bagusnya dia dah pandai hold wee wee tu. takdelah cakap nak kencing terus terkencing je. Waktu malam kami masih pakaikan nappy lagi time nak tido. Tapi kalau dia gi kencing before tido biasanya nappy akan kering sampai pagi. So, basically dia mmg tak kan terkencing dalam suar lah.

Tapi minggu lepas satu tragedi happen. Aku tido kan anak, before tido tu dia bad mood tanak g kencing tanak pakai nappy. Pastu yang hampehnye mak nye sekali ketiduran. Sekali sedar2 pukul 3am, tilam dah basah dah. Dah la kitorang mmg pakai tilam double size yang hampar kat lantai je skrg ni. katil besar sume dah buang. huhuhu..so, bile tilam tu kena kencing kami terpaksa la tido atas lantai, beralaskan karpet. dua malam jugak nak tunggu tilam kering. malam kejadian kencing tu pukul 3 am pagi aku menyental tilam kat belakang rumah. orang lain sume sambung tido balik. nak tangguh esok baru basuh takut benda tu dah kering lagi susah nak detect kat mana yang kena kencing. huhuhuhu

Ape pon Alhamdulillah. Lega sangat2. Selain kejadian tu, takdela yang lain2 dah pon. Basically mmg dia dah berak and kencing kat toilet sepenuhnya lah ni. kalau waktu siang dia merepek nak pakai nappy pon dia ttp akan kencing kat toilet. Panties pon aku dah pakaikan panties yang comel2 gambar macam2 instead of training pants tempohari.


***Alhamdulillah. Good job Sufia! LOVE xoxo

Toilet training - Part 2

Toilet training - Part 2

Alhamdulillah dah 2 minggu dah. Nampaknya dah berjaya. Wpun bukan 100%. Wpun waktu malam masih pakai nappy lagi. Tapi OK la tu. Yang penting dia dah paham dia xleh kencing suka hati lagi. Almost every day kalau aku bawak dia kencing dia akan cakap "Don't wee wee on the bed, don't wee wee in the nappy, don't wee wee in the panties, don't wee wee on the tilam". Alhamdulillah sangat2. Kecuali dia memang malas sangat2 gi toilet or ralit sangat2 dengan toys dia baru lah terlepas kencing dalam suar.

And yang paling penting sekali, biler nak berak automatic dia akan ke toilet. Regardless dia pakai nappy or panties. Actually kalau kencing pon sama. Dia akan buka nappy/panties sendiri and terus duduk atas toilet seat. Biasanya kalau berak dia akan senyap2 je terus gi toilet sendiri, bila dah sudah dia akan jerit "Ibuuuu water pleaseeeeee" huhuhu so, kalau ibu tengah tido pon akan terjaga la sebab dia dah boleh jerit. kalau dia terkencing dalam suar dia akan tau rasa bersalah and buat2 konon2 nak brush teeth(pegi bilik air), pastu gi kencing then barulah dia akan bitau ibu sambil angkat panties, "Ibu, wet. Very busuk" :P

Yang paling best setakat ni kalau kami kuar pon dia takkan kencing dalam suar. tapi untuk pre-caution kami pakaikan pull-up pants tu so takdelah takut terkencing kan. Sebabnya dia pon belum "tamat pengajian" lagi. hehhehe

Apa pon aku bersyukur sangat digerakkan hati beli tangga yang mcm comel je mcm cantik je ni huhuhu and murah jugak masa beli tu dalam 20dolar camtu. And thanks ayahnya sebab belikan. hehhehe.. And bersyukur juga Allah gerakkan hati aku untuk toilet training sekarang. Alhamdulillah lega. Walaupun aku mengaku masa mula2 tu mmg agak susah, tapi semua parents mmg akan melalui stage ni kan? ;)


***dia = my baby Sufia :) 

Toilet training

Toilet training

Another priceless experience in my motherhood journey. Sufia has started the toilet training.  It is for real this time. It has been a week and she was nappy-free during the day but still with nappy during the night.

A really wonderful experience it is. Being able to watch her grow up and finally reach this stage, the benchmark to another stage of her life as a human.

Toilet training has been really scary to me and it took me months to finally decide that I must start the training on her as soon as possible.  There are lots of things I need to consider, all the 'gadgets' that will be needed and going to help the whole process, how am I going to face the fact that she might wee wee or poo poo on the carpet, her crankiness especially when she wants to poo poo, how she going to clean after doing the job herself at the children center. There were lotsss of thing I need to think of, seriously.

Until last week we suddenly felt like she was ready. She kept requesting for her froggy(her  toilet seat) and keep coming back and forth visiting the toilet. That made us decide that she's ready and we need to support her.

too many of tragedies happened this week. too many to be recalled. hehehhe but were all not too bad actually. With 100% support from Ince' Aren, we went through this stage of parenting together and we help each other!

Anyway, I will never forget her expression the first time she officially wee wee in the toilet. hehehhehe priceless!

***the key is patience.

Sufia and bad words

Sufia and bad words

Recently Sufia banyak betol bawak balik rumah words2 yang kite x berkenan. yang xsesuai dengan budaya kita orang melayu ni la.

contohnya:

Ibu..stop it!

Ibu don't! Naughty ibu..
No, you monster!
 

Haishhh fening kepala mak nak...

***janganla lekat lama2..isk

Shocking week

Shocking week

Last week was definitely our most shocking week, both for Sufia and me. Especially for Sufia. Too many things happened within the same period.

[selalu xhabis!! and masih lagi mintak.. camne nak buat nih?? >.<' ]

(1st) her bottle weaning. At first it was almost successful.  She never requested for her bottle anymore. Whenever she wanted it, she will say, "Susu, in cup". That's a relief. Now, I need to find a way, to make her understand that, the 'brand new susu(with some Milo)' can only be drink in the morning or before bed only. This is the 2nd she day woke up without the bottle. She did mention,"Susu" this morning. But, easily forget about it when her ayah called her to eat some noodle. She definitely needs the susu just because she is just hungry, or just because it was the way she did it every morning and night. You go girl!
*update: suddenly she keep requesting for susu again! haishhh

[still smiling :) ]

[car transfer form]

(2nd) We have sold our blue car. Now I am feeling lost. Ince' aren asked me how do I feel now. Then, I said, I am feeling lost. I live with my own car, I mean I have my very own car since 6 years ago. And now I don't have one. What do you think I should feel?sighhh ;(  The moment the new lady bought the car and took it from us, Sufia really cried her heart out. "I want blue carrrr. I want my blue carrrrrr. Don't!!!" What a really sad moment. Her very first car of her life too. And then the next morning we asked her again, "where's our blue car Sufia?". She began to understand that we don't own the car anymore. Someone else needs the car. She said," Auntie, far away". And smiled. Such a big relief.

[just near the passenger seat. Alhamdulillah ya Allah for protecting my husband from the bad thing]

[our friend's car on the left side]

(3rd) A big shocking night for me last week. Ince' Aren had a car accident. Alhamdulillah. There were nothing serious. Well, at least nothing serious on him and his friends. Both were safe. The only that needs to be replace is his glasses, which is broken and his friend's car need to be fixed, now at the workshop. Hopefully both will be covered under the other car insurance. It is obviously not Ince' Aren's side fault. The lady overrun the traffic light and hit the car. Gosh..I still can believe what really happened :'((


***Too many shocking things in a week. Feeling tired already.
 

Bottle weaning

Bottle weaning

Everything is so sudden. I decided to wean Sufia from her bottle immediately. I don't wanna wait anymore. Because it is getting worse each day. She kept requesting for milk during unnecessary periods. She has never been like this before. We always follow the right schedule. To make sure she eat enough and drink enough. It obviously weren't giving any good to her. She needs food more than milk now. But if she take to much milk, then when is she going to take the food? So, that's it!

[sesudah togel]

For a start, I cut through the bottle tits and showed it to her. She was like blurring, and she said "O dear". she didn't know what to say. Just a little bit shocked. And then after almost 5 minutes she said, "Its broken. Hmmmm. OK we go shopping, bottle and milk". She knew we can get the replacement easily from the shop! But, I try my very best to make her understand that she is a big girl and can always use the cup whenever she wants milk. "OK, put the bottle in the bin", she said.

Whats the most important now is to separate her from the bottle. Then I'll think of how to make her finish the milk from the cup.

The next schedule for her milk is around one or two hour from now. So, I'll see if she can accept the fact that she won't be using bottle anymore. Hopefully, after 3 or 4 days she will completely forget about it . Ameen. Most importantly, I am expecting a huge chaos every morning within this week! So, we have to keep calm! I have no intention to stop giving milk, milk is good if taken in correct quantity. So, milk for Sufia, but not the bottle... :)

***Poor Sufia. But there is nothing to do. She needs to grow up!Wish me luck dearies!

Chocolate cake

Chocolate cake

Gara2 menengok kartun Peppa Pig hari2. anak I jadi kemaruk kat birthday cake. Hari2 mintak chocolate cake. nak tido, bangun tido, nak mandi, lepad mandi, sebelum pi school cakap nanti g shopping beli cake. aduiii...fenin mak. siap nangis2 lagi..iskkk

***sarapan kek cekelat..

Meruntun jiwa

Meruntun jiwa

Ayah: Sufia jom sleep, ayah dah ngantuk la..
Ibu: OK, Sufia sleep ngan ayah ek..ibu nak work.(kiss anak)

Sufia: (Menangis) Nak sleep ibu... :'(
Agaknye dah biasa ibu yg tidokan.

Ibu: :(

Ibu masuk bilik and tidokan anak. Belum sempat tido ayah masuk bilik.

Ibu: OK, Sufia sleep ngan ayah tau..

Sufia: (Menangis) Ibu..

Sob3..anakku dah pandai demand nak ibu sekarang..huuuu


***Sedih la pulak...

Sufia at 3y 2m

Sufia at 3y 2m

Lama sungguh x citer panjang2 pasal progress sufia kan? dah mcm2 dah budak ni skrg..hihi..ok mari kite citer sikit.

Cakap
Dari segi bercakap, mmg dah OK lah..wpun byk sebut salah. banyak ayat tunggang tebalik, cakap merepek2, but semua ibu n ayah dah boleh paham. 90% sufia cakap dalam bahasa inggeris. ibunye pon naik heran. padahal kat rumah kami banyak cakap melayu pon ngan dia. mmg lah ada words yang gune english, tapi kalau dalam ayat tu biasanya cakap melayu je pon. nak kata pasal dia gi childcare, dia gi 3 hari je seminggu selama 4 jam sehari. tapi bila bercakap byk yang ditirunye dari childcare. kami terkejut juga, tiba2 banyak vocab dia dapat. kalau ajar words baru pon terus lekat kat kepala. and dia dah paham yang kite ni cakap dua bahasa. sebab kalau kite cakap satu benda tu in bahasa melayu, kadang die tunjuk benda tu and sebut in BM and kemudian in english pulak.

Sekarang ni mmg betol2 meriah. celik mata terus mengicau2..huuu adaaa je nak cakap. kadang cakap benda yang merepek n xreleven pon tapi dia rasa nak bercakap. so dia cakap je lah ape2. at the time being, her favorite words are "Is it?". semua benda is it..semua benda nak tanye..mih2..kadang2 mmg xlarat kot..kui3..and kadang2 rasa macam orang tua biler bercakap. sikit2 dia akan sebut "my goodness!", "oppss, sowy ibu..sowy ayah!", "oh dear!", "watch out" etc etc :P

[cuaca dah mula panas, kulit muka pon jadi elok ;) ]

Habit
Sufia ni budaknye dari kecik mmg penggeli. xboleh kotor sikit tak boleh basah sikit.. tapi makin dia dah besar dia macam dah kurang sikit penggeli nya tu. but, recently kami jadi risau pulak sebab merepek habitnye yang sekarang ni. habit yang 2-5 tu yang aku xberapa berkenan(lain2) la eh.
habit 1: masuk jari dalam hidung, tarik kuar hingus and masuk jari dalam mulut(eeewww huhu)
habit 2: mintak susu, bile lapar and lambat sikit dapat makan terus mintak susu. wpun serta merta ibu amek nasi tetap nak susu jugak..adoiii awak dah besar la sufia. mane leh susu banyak2 kali
habit 3: dulu bkn lain lg senang makan ubat kalau demam. sekarang ni kalau deman cukup susah...fuhhh..tapi bile xdemam, almost hari2 mintak ubat =.='
habit 4:kalau nak something xreti nak sabo. dia akan ulang2 cakap sampai lah benda tu dapat depan mata.
habit 5:mengada2 bukan main, nak menangis je..haishh. bukan mengangis. mengada.. =.='

Kasar
ada kasar sikit lah. maybe ikut kawan2 kat sekolah. kejap2 pukul ibu and ayah. kuat lak tu. especially kalau kite kacau dia. dia akan cakap "dont!" sambil pukul >.<

Pujian
Suka kalau kite puji2. Kalau buat apa2 mesti akan panggil ibu/ayah tengok. share kegembiraan. kalau kite puji lagi la suke.

[look at her dry skin. poor little girl ;( this photo was taken at Ikea, then same day we went to Brighton Beach]

Menolong
Kadang2 dah boleh diharap juge dah. boleh tolong ibu itu dan ini. tapi kadang2 lebih mengacau dari menolong.huhuhu

Makan
Kalau time sihat(xdemam/selsema) mmg makan banyak! asalkan tak pedas sume dia sumbat. tapi bila dia dah kenyang betol dia xkan merepek2 mintak jajan. kalau dia asek mintak biskut le roti le maksudnye lapar le tu. makan nasi xcukup. at this age, kami kasi susu pagi bangun tido and nak tido malam je. macam nak consider mansuhkan botol tak lama lagi ;)

----------------

itulah sikit sebanyak yang aku ingat. lain kali tulis lagi.


***udah besar ini anak...

Potty train?

Potty train?

I think she is ready. She has already showing the signs.

But am I ready yet?

 Lots of thing I need to prepare.

Lots of thing need to commit.

Lots of people I need to ask.

So, am I ready?

 *** phewwwwww~

Sufia and daisy

Sufia and daisy

Sufia kata dia pakai daisy arini. dia mmg ckp suke pakai daisy..tp ibu je mls nk pakaikan.huhu sbb ibu jenis rimas tgk anak pakai baju ronyok2 sgt tak gosok.kalau tshirt xgosok xpe la sgt.hehe maksdnye ibu mmg mlas gosok kat sini..

dia pakai daisy arini sampaikan xnk salin.dah salin baju lain setgh jam..nk bukak pakai balik baju daisy..kikiki

 

ape ye baju daisy tu? baju daisy adalah dress/baju gown kalau kite biasa sebut.. hehe semua yang macam dress disebutnya daisy.. sebab doll dia yang dipegangnye (nama Upsy Daisy) tu pakai dress..hehhe maybe sufia rasa cantik kot.

hehe nilah baju hasil semalam. dah basuh and iron pon. and pakai keluar tadi. ada kawan2 ince' aren kirim perfume. so beli siap2 sebelum ship barang..sila abaikan rambutnya yang super serabai tu ye..heheh ;)

***daisy dooooooooooo~~

Clever little girl

Clever little girl

Sufia has been really imaginative recently. She could makes stories out of any things she saw and she could thought of. Well yes, her vocabularies are still quite limited. She still can't make correct sentences when expressing something. But, there will always something interesting every time she speak her mind. She has been very very talkative since the past few weeks and sometimes I had to say, "Shhhh, quite please" if I were to tired to listen to her story. haha a bad mummy I am :D

so, today we just spent our time at home. did the cleaning job. the washing. and did some more packing since the date to ship our belongings has been fixed to the 1st of October. That means we only have a few weeks left, and we better hurry. I must say almost 90% has been safely packed. But we still need a few empty boxes to pack the remaining items.

Back to Sufia's story.  Just like her mouth has been actively talking recently, so do her IQ and EQ. hehe she loves to involve in everything we do. For example, if I were washing the dish, she did the same at her own playkitchen. When I cleaned the bench, she asked for her own napkin to help me wiped the door cabinets, etc. Sometimes she will say ibu tidy up room. Means that she wants to tidy up the room together with ibu. She also had noticed that I will looked differently whenever she made me sad.

So, today she's been helping her daddy(yes, sometimes she loves to say mummy and daddy instead of ayah and ibu when she's making up stories) to pack our TV. Still too early to pack the TV isn't it? But, no that is fine. I haven't watch any of the TV show recently, so why not we just pack it earlier.

[row row row your boat]

At that time, I was cooking and didn't really bother about both of them. I heard she said, "I wanna make boats". I just ignored her as she looked as happy and don't want to be disturbed by anyone. Only a few hours later, when the big boy and the little girl were having the afternoon sleep(well I didn't apparently, as I am writing this) I realized that she wasn't just talking about the boats. She really made the boats! Using the unused polystyrene from the TV box. How could she possibly imagine about boats from this 'rubbish'. She manage to relate the shape of the polystyrene thingy with the boat shape and making them into ones.

Kids are amazing. Yes, they are! They can think beyond our imagination. And I am amazed!


***Sufia my little sunshine.

When you are sad

When you are sad

Have you experience this?

You are struggling with something. You try very very hard. Never stop and never give up til you are feeling so tired. You feel like you want to cry. But, no! You can't. You have to be strong. Yes, stay strong. But, deep inside you, you are worried. And you cried already. Yet, you can't show it to people that you are weak.

Until, your eyes catch the appearance of your love ones. Or until that someone, i mean very very close to you comes to you. And say, "Hey, what happened? Are you alright?". Then, that is the moment everything like bursting out and you know that you are not alright at all. You are just pretending to be alright. And you cry on her/his shoulder like you never cry before.

Well, I am actually not talking about myself. I am talking about Sufia. Something happened at school yesterday. I was there picking her up from the child care, earlier than usual. I watched her secretly until when the teacher told her that I was there already ready to picked her up. And suddenly, she ran to me with all the tears. Her teacher said, "Sufia, you never cry before, what is wrong. Is there anything makes you unhappy?". Sufia just kept it quite and she hugged me. I knew what was happening. It wasn't something bad, but its just that, she felt so tired with what she had to faced. And she need to keep running, tried to catch it the best she can. But, it was very hard.

I know what it feels like, because Phd has taught me that. Always try to be strong, always try to keep everything to myself. Always try to hold the tears. But, when it comes to a few magic moments when my husband hugs me, when my stress level has rise to the very top of the ceiling, I will burst everything like crazy. I never cry so loudly before. Never. Until I do my PhD. And I hope its worth it.


***Hold on.

Late birthday celebration

Late birthday celebration

We were having a small birthday party for Sufia at her school yesterday. Though it was only a simple party, yet it was fun. Haha the funny thing was, Sufia was blur and seems like she had no idea with what was going on! Until we get home, and she watched herself in the video, she actually was so excited. She even told me that teacher asked her to blow the candle and she showed to me how she did it. Hehehe funny little girl she is.

I am so happy everyone enjoy the cake. All the teachers said that the cake was so yummy and beautifully made. I ordered for Sufia her favourite character cake which is Upsy Daisy. And I myself felt in love with the cake. It was a lovely cake indeed! And yummy too...yummmm

[the cake!]
