up the stairs

i was looking for muhammad nazhan nasr as he wasn't where i left him a minute ago.....

i heard a chuckle....i'm up the stairs...


the first years

during the first years of my children, i kept track of what they ate, how much, how long they slept and etc.  recently, i came across the giant book that kept all the details.  i realised that i did that for nadia nasira while the maid did for nashwan nasr but there is none for nazhan nasr...

  
well, do i say i have become quite an efficient mom when it came to muhammad nazhan nasr?

giant experience

i think taking the children for grocery shopping is fun.... i have not been to one for so so long simply because hubs does it all by himself until this day....

potato chips while waiting for daddy....

 baby nazhan enjoying it too...
 and the kakak...
 kakak is engrossed in watching the lady buy fish...
 

my children and the divas....

my husband's cousins are like some little divas.... my children love them so so much.... these divas adore the as well and they will spoil them to the roots.  the best thing is they are the best baby sitters....






parenthood

there are so many discipline available in this world for you to specialise in and build up your expertise in order to maneuver life except for one. 

parenthood....an area that you are expected to be a specialist the moment you attain parenthood and if you fail, you will regret forever, feel the pain, suffer a restless soul and end with you leaving nuisance in this world as your legacy. God forbid! 

when it comes to parenthood, time is of essence.  our children grow up too fast that if you procastinate, it will be too late.  the tender years that forms our children's personallity is a very short span of time. all you have is the first seven years to help them form their personality and after that help them to maintain the foundation you have built.  what if errors are made when you lay down the foundation?  you will end up trying to mend here and there a life long.

sometimes, i feel so frustrated when i am unable to manage my issues which is then reflected on my children.  i wish i could be the ideal mother that i wanted to be.  i wish God has given me lots and lots of patience to guide and teach my children the way i wanted to.  i wish i had all the time in the world to hold them with tender loving care, to talk to them, to do art and craft with them, etc, etc.  it brings tears to my eyes that i am unable to do so.  i am always rushed for time, dwelling in the routine.  i wish i can say to hell with everything and focus on my children's growing up years...

i remember a friend telling me... when you realise that you are on the wrong direction , make a U turn as soon as possible otherwise you will be far off the right direction.  i pray for the wisdom dear God,  for i fear of failing.  show me the right path....

happy birthday muhammad nazhan nasr

happy birthday my lil redbean..... i don't know where did i pick up the term redbean except that i have been calling you my lil redbean since i conceived you. 

muhammad nazhan nasr..... i knew that is what you were going to be called the moment the gynae announced that lil redbean is a boy.  you fill my heart and soul with so much joy and my love for you overflows, so much that it makes me teary eyed everytime you look at me with those innocent eyes.  everytime you smile at me, i melt....

Allah has blessed me with such a peaceful baby, you are trully a peaceful baby.  you probably knew that mummy has her hands full and therefore you behave so well... yet, you are such a mummy's baby.  you make your presence felt... never can i walk past you without carrying you everytime i return from somewhere otherwise you would cry.  you would hug me so tight to let me know how much you missed me.  that smile you give me is when you are in my arms make me feel so proud.  you are truly my symbol of pride....

in the last twelve months, i saw you reach your milestones at your own pace... at times, you worried me, made me research and read up as much as i could.  at times, you surpirsed me.  you constantly made me try new things on you for me to know your preferences.  you also made me nudge you in you achieving your milestones.  on your first birthday, you could cruise from one place to another, call me MA, wave goodbye, salam, give me flying kisses, hug me when i asked you to and lots of new developments that i couldn't keep track.  you have 4 teeth with another 2 more emerging. you eat anything i feed you, in fact you love eating.  and baby, you are still breastfeeding....

mummy and daddy love you so much and we want you to know that there is nothing we won't do for you. there is one other person who fusses over you... your nanni who cares for you everytime mummy is not arround... you adore your aunty na as well so much so that i feel that among the three of you, you are the most attached to her.  there are the other part of the family i.e. mummy's side who adores you as well and you are such a doll for everyone everytime we go back to ipoh... 

i thank Allah for all the blessings bestowed upon me.... you and both you siblings are my most valued treasure... happy birthday darling.  may Allah bless you with iman, hidayah, health, wealth, lots of love and happiness.... i wish you all the wonderful things in life. i will do the best i can to be the best mum to you and your siblings. 

be a good caliph of Allah and be the best in whatever role you are given in life. remember to live this world and always strive to make it big in life for the hereafter. have a huge heart.... love and give as much as you can for nothing is yours. everything under the sky belongs to Allah, so pray to HIM.
