birthday present....

looks like if you turned four years old, you will get a bicycle as the birthday present... nadia nasira got her first bicycle when she turned four and now it is nashwan nasr's turn.

he had been miserably dragging the tricycle ever since it was passed down from his sister.  it is now nazhan nasr's turn with the tricycle....  a funny thought came to my mind when i saw the lil car they used to drag around ever since nadia nasira was 1 years old was finally taken to be kept inside the house... you know your babies have grown up... i felt pain stab my heart because i thought of honeystar...

it was his dad's idea to get him a bicycle...his daddy brought him to the shop in his mum's neighbourhood and selected one.  he was all beaming with happiness.  we were not sure if he would ever peddle because experience tells us that he wont as he didnt peddle the tricycle. we gave him the honour to choose the color and of course, ben 10 would have only chosen green despite many options. 

we came home and got him to peddle... he kept reversing.  so, mummy became the trainer... i taught him to cycle and peddle forward until i lost my patience.  he peddled forward but didn't complete the round.  i told myself that since my daughter took quite a long time, let him be.  a few days afterwards, i saw one of neighbour's son rode exactly like my son but with so much confidence.  so, i let him be.  today i feel ashamed that i raised my voice because one, i didn't give him a chance to take his time and two, i had unreasonable expectations.  within two months, he rides his bicycle as if he had been doing that for years.  for now, he has yet to ride out on the road. well, it is daddy's turn to give him the opportunity and guidance for him to master his cycling. 

i think green looks cool and so is he...



 sweet...

how i love close ups...

the expression never fails to amaze me...

cycling with a noisy mouth...

ooo...the cycling partner...

and where is the lil one? picking up the pebbles covering the pot...
