Oh anak-anakku

Hi !

Pheww..finally i dapat curik2 time nak update blog. Well,it's sunday kan. Normally i write my post and set it on schedule. Coz seriously i takkan sempat update during the weekdays. Sibuk dgn kerja n anak2..

Talking about kids, i selalu berdoa supaya anak2 diberkati dan jadi anak yg solehah dan ambil berat tentang agama. Amin. Well, when we finally have children, we want them to have the best in the world. We expect perfection. And we expect it now. Tahpape kan. Raising kids should be a slow marathon, not a crazy sprint. Tapi kadang2 kita sebagai parents ni yang tak sabar2 nak anak2 kita jadi pandai itu pandai ini, expect dia buat itu buat ini.

A reminder for myself. Kids will always be kids. Their childhood should be filled with a lot of time to relax and play. I really hope i dun fill a void of my own life through my daughters as they grow older. I hope i'm not forcing them to do something they dun enjoy. Tapi beriman? That's not based on interest. Itu WAJIB. Same goes to practicing healthy lifestyle, eating right n other good values.(Ikut sunnah Rasulullah itulah yg terbaik) That i dun think i can tolerate. Hehe. Garang eh mommy ni?

Whatever it is, it all starts from home. Good nutrients and affection. Dari kecik2 lagi kena introduce mereka dgn super foods. Mahal sket takpe asalkan bagus untuk kesihatan. Nutrients dun just feed the body, but it feeds the brains. Making a genius? Starts from the food. (Breastfeeding is a good start!)

And secondly, love and attention from us, the parents. Studies have shown that regular interaction with our child has a strong effect on developing their intelligence. So ape lagi..cakapla banyak2  dengan anak kita. hehe. (using proper words n sentences)..

Entry yang keibubapaan sungguh. ;p

Daa.

Sofea Academy

Eceh...bajet cool la title kat atas tu ek? No la..just inspired by Khan Academy. hehe. Pernah dengar? If not, bolehla try google.hehe.

Just wanna share sofea's clip pointing objects.. A mother always impressed by her child kan. Same goes to me.. At 18 months old, sofea can understand a lot of things.. including pointing objects yang kita minta. Alhamdulillah... i'm so proud of u sayang..

Sofea lambat sket nak cakap kot.. Just boleh bunyikan a few suku kata.. Tapi belum betul2 ada perkataan yang dia boleh sebut. But she can understand if we give simple instruction and simple sentence. Contohnya, bila minta tolong buang sampah dalam tong sampah, ambilkan sejadah or telekong, ambil Al-Quran, tadah tangan bila sebut doa, sit down bila nak minum air, geleng kepala bila tak nak something, and point bila nak something etc.

And sekarang dia dah pandai kalau jumpa sesapa je most of the time dia akan hulur tangan nak salam dulu. Before ni kalau cakap salam baru dia hulur. Hehe. And kalau jumpa strangers dalam lift ke kedai ke..automatic dia gi babai n sengih2 kat orang tu. Haha.

And sofea ni ada sometimes very comfortable dgn sapa2 kat tempat ramai orang. Ada sekali tu kat birthday part Nyang Sofea..dia boleh pergi kat aunty2 mana2 entah and sengih2 salam2 n bila orang cakap2 n usap2 dia..terus gi manja2 letak kepala kat aunty tu..pas tu tuka orang pulak, bila orang offer food kat dia, dia pergi n dengan selambanya terus duduk kat peha aunty tuh. haha. As long as she sees us (me n mylocx) from far. Sampai aunty tu geram sangat ngan dia.. N kata she's like a star..sangat senang ngan sapa2 tapi bahaya sebab kalau tak jaga betul2 takut orang bawa lari. haha. Tula kan..easygoing sangat pun bahaya jugak. Kihkih.

Hmm..kita ni as parents memanglah kalau boleh nak anak kita tu jadi orang pandai, berguna, beriman ye tak? But to achieve that, bukan la as easy as we plan. It's tough being a parent kan? Sama2lah kita struggle and do the best we can to make the dream comes true.

Daa...

Pick your baby up or just let baby cry

haihh... i skang dalam dilema tau. My daughter is almost 18th months old n she's brilliant ok!

Nak mintak anything je mula la start merengek or buat2 nangis. haha.

Kalau time kecik2 dulu yelakan..kite cuak gakla if she started crying... hungry ke, wanna change diaper ke, stomachache ke, afraid ke, or anything jela.. so i pun akan cepat2 pick her up to comfort her.

But, as she gets older, she can express her mood well. Crying is one of the weapon. Sometimes, if she wants to play in the middle of the night, she'll cry to get attention. And, somehow, i dunno whether to pick her up or just let her cry.

Mylocx and i think she needs some discipline too. After i checked her diaper, feeding her, and making sure that dia tak terjatuh ke hape ke...then kalau merengek2 lagi then i knew all she wanted is to play...and sometimes saje2 nak mintak dukung suruh tunjuk itu ini. (playing la tu.hehe)

So i kdg2 just biar dia merengek2 or nangis kejap...and cuddled her. Talked to her or showed anything to get her interest. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't work. So, kdg2 mylocx will give her a warning look and talk to her dengan nada garang sket. Dia mmg sgt manja ngan mylocx but also very sensitive if her dad yg marah dia. She was immediately crying louder than before. But then we all akan pujuk balik and talked to her why did we scold her.

And..sometimes dia dah tak merengek2 dah pastu. Sometimes merengek gakla sket2 tapi not like before.

Huh..parenting oh parenting.. A never-ending process. So u all cane plak? Nak angkat je everytime the baby cries or let them learn a few lesson? hehe. Not like a tigermom la.haha.

daa.
