Muqtasaem is 34 months (2y 10m) today

In 2 months time my dear son is turning 3 years old. He is still not talking. He can say few words mostly one syllable like "cat", "duck", "jet", "ball", "book". Sometimes if he wants to drink, he wud say "aaayeerrr" (air). he actually can talk cuma berat mulut.
Normal ke for boys lambat cakap? I talked to several teachers, they said its normal for boys to start talking later than girls. And some kids do start talking at 6 years old!!! Hopefully he wont take that long. Cepat2 ckp k abg.
Even Nadhirah starting to mumble few words. Thats why we sent muqtasaem to playschool. Let him mix around with other kids so that he starts talking. I really do hope so!! He starts to like going to school so nowadays its a lil bit easier to wake him up in the morning. Kalau tidak naik jenuh nk layan his tantrum.

Gedebuk jatuh lagi

Nadhirah is becoming more aggressive and active. N sometimes she can be so garang. I was sitting on a couch watching tv with her last nite. Elok2 je dia duduk suddenly "gedebuk" and followed by a cry.
She fell off the couch!!!! I panicked for a while. Kuat jugak d sound of d fell. Grab her n hug her. I cukup risau bila dia jatuh. Afraid if her brain shaken or worst cud led to bleeding in d brain. Nauzubillah.
After checking her head and body for any injuries..i felt relief but i know i have to monitor her for d next 24 hours. Risau nye if anything happen. I normally check behind her ears for any blood clot or lebam and be alert if she throws up. Having kids of your own making u lil more aware of basic first aid..ala jadi doktor pun ada.
Here an article form babycenter.com if what to do if your babe fell..

Whenever your baby takes a serious tumble — from a couch, bed, highchair, crib, or countertop, for example — you'll need to do a thorough check for injuries, especially if he falls on his head or back.

You'll want to make sure that your baby doesn't have any serious wounds, that he hasn't broken any bones, and that he hasn't suffered a concussion or other internal damage. Falls can be serious, but because your baby's bones are soft, they don't fracture as easily as those of an older child.

If your baby looks okay to you and seems to be acting normally, chances are the fall didn't cause serious injury. Be thankful, but keep an eye on him. Continue to carefully observe your baby for the next 24 hours, especially if he bumped or fell on his head.

And err on the side of caution: If you're uncomfortable with the severity of your baby's fall — you think he had to have gotten hurt — or if your baby is acting irritable or confused, take him to the doctor to get checked out.

Call 911 if your baby experiences any of the following after a fall:

• A loss of consciousness. If your baby isn't breathing, have someone call 911 while you administer infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) until help arrives. If you're alone, give your baby CPR for two minutes, then call 911 yourself.

• Bleeding that you're unable to stop with pressure.

• If your baby is breathing but not responsive — he's unconscious after the fall or you're unable to wake him up after he goes to sleep, for example.

Take your baby to the emergency room or talk to his doctor immediately if you notice any of the following:

• Signs of a broken bone, including an obvious deformity, like a wrist that is bent awkwardly, or an arm or a leg that seems out of alignment.

• Signs of a possible skull fracture: A large, soft area on the scalp, especially on the side of the head (above or behind the ear); blood showing in the whites of his eyes; or pinkish fluid or blood draining from his nose or ears.

• Signs of a concussion, such as unusual eye movements or pupils that are unequal in size; persistent vomiting; or excessive sleepiness. Depending on your baby's age, look for a change in how he crawls or walks; weakness or confusion; or problems with speech, vision, or motor skills.

• Prolonged crying or screaming, which could indicate a possible internal injury.

the day my boy goes to school

after a week missing school, finally Muqtasaem is well enough to go to school for the first time. My nightmare begins with waking him up in the morning. We dont usually wake him up because doing so will result in him throwing his tantrum n being grumpy all day. Sangat bersabar tau. Mcm2 la pujuk, bribe skit2 barulah mandi n pakai baju. Owh we actually bought him a set of Thomas water bottle with lunch box. Just to create his interest to go to school. Mcm2 kena bribe ni. But as long he is happy n not too spoilt, it shud b ok kan..

Walid, jauh lagi ke school Muqtasaem?

When we arrived at his school, we thot that we can easily leave him. We were absolutely WRONG!! He held Mr Hubby's hand wherever he went. Never let us out of his sight. Susah la pulak. I thot that having friends to play with will make him forget about us. Mmg takde maknanya. But then Mr Hubby let him play with some lego..bila dia dah leka we sneaked out. Itupun after half an hour.

Mana school ni?

Somehow i know he will cry when he noticed we were gone. Mmg betul! His principal called me to give updates. He did cry for a while. Luckily he didnt throw his tantrum. Malu kot with strangers. Tapi kalau with me n Mr Hubby sure dah mengamuk nangis2 tk berenti.
Itulah kisah first day Muqtasaem at school.
Mcm mana la pulak esok...

Down with Flu & fever

Both my dearest kids are down with flu & fever..
so muqtasaem wont be going to school..mama yg over excited muqtasaem nak g school, tapi now he's not feeling well. so we postpone till he is ok k.
get well soon my darlings

Jalan2 Naik LRT

long weekend is here..apa nak buat arini pun taktau. then Mr Hubby decided to bring the kids around KL by LRT. I said ok la..but we dont have any destination. so off we go to Jelatek station and bought the tix to Kelana Jaya. to my surprise, the LRT was full. we let go the first train, n to our surprise the second train was also full. but we decided to board it.

when we boarded the train, no seats were available. and to my surpise, no one gave up their seats for me who is holding nadhirah in my arms. sabar je la tgk gelagat org2 ni. the problem is there were youngsters..buat2 tak nampak je. i think we passed about 5 stations then only we got a seat. lama jugak the travelling time to Kelana Jaya.




i'm driving this train..choo choo

Mr Hubby decided to go the head of the train. saje bagi budak2 tgk luar. the kids excited bkn main. ala2 jadik driver train. when muqtasaem saw another train from the other side, he will say " choo choo". nadhirah pun ikut...but only kuar muncung je.
mmg tkde arah tujuan that day, we arrived at Kelana Jaya, bought some drinks and head back to Jelatek. But the kids had their first..err second LRT ride!


si botak naik train


memikirkan masa depan

Azam Tahun Baru

Tahun baru saya bermula dengan operasi mendogolkan rambut. Mama ckp rambut saya halus sangat. Jadi mama & walid mengambil keputusan untuk membotakkan kepala saya buat kali kedua.
Mula2 saya tak tahu.bila mama ajak naik kereta,saya meloncat kegembiraan. Yelah dapat jalan2..saper tak suka kan. Pastu sampai kat satu kedai yg agak kecil & tersorok, saya dah kaget.manalah mama dan walid nak bawak saya ni..tgk2 kedai gunting rambut. Dlm hati saya, ni mesti nak potong rambut abang sbb abang nk masuk sekolah.


saya tgh relax2 atas riba walid

Tapi bila saya diangkat oleh walid dan duduk di atas kerusi, saya rasa lain mcm.knp bkn abang yg duduk di situ..dah tak senang duduk ni. Bila saya dgr mesin berbunyi saya dah panik.


ala..apa mamak ni nak buat ni..

Tiba2 ada tgn yg agak gelap pegang kepala saya dan sshhrroommmm...segugus rambut saya gugur..huwwaaaa...saya panik sampai nangis2..ketakutan. takut tau..dah la bunyi mesin tu bising, tambah lagi tangan yg pegang kepala saya tu gelap. saya meraung sekuat hati. sampai mama dan walid terpaksa pegang saya. sorang pegang badan, sorang pegang tangan. mamak barber tu pegang kepala saya.


saya tgh menangis


tgk la..saya meronta dgn jayanya

sekuat hati saya memberontak..tapi akhirnya saya tewas..habis sudah rambut saya..now saya dah botak.. tapi saya suka..rasa ringan je kepala. mama dan walid ckp saya lagi nampak naughty..tapi mmg saya naughty pun..tak kisah la ada rambut ke tidak..


taraaaa saya sudah botak

note: maaf yer gambar blur..yelah mama pakai iphone je..tak best la camera iphone nih..

Mama, i'm going to school

usually i like to work in December when others on leave. heaven k. takde org kat office. but this year, i opted to take 2 weeks break. one of my main agenda was to scout for Muqtasaem's playschool. He's approaching 3 years old but he has yet to talk. So me & Mr Hubby decided to send him to school. Our reason is to let him mix around with kids his own age and start talking. malu sungguh anak mama ni nk ckp. So after visiting few playschools, we decided to send him to Krista at Bukit Antarabangsa.



why we choose Krista? Simple, the fee fits our budget (this is important!!!) and i like the syllabus - sesuai for kids his age. there is this one kindie, they already have computer classes for age 3 kids. owh no, i dont want to expose my son so early. maybe i'm being conservative, but i think kids need to play to encourage their creativity. i want them to have fun..not to stress them how important to be genius at a very young age. pity them, kids shud have fun! and not studying and jadi ulat buku. well i do buy books for them, to build up their interest in books. but i did not enforce them to read it all the time.

well back to the story, yes we have registered Muqtasaem to Krista! and he will start 4th January 2010!
