Since last summer, Feyruz has a sleeping problem. He would wake up in the middle of the night no matter what. Sometimes he cried, sometimes he scratched, and sometimes he just walked to our bedroom. At that time, he also had seasonal allergy – watery eyes, stuffy nose and frequent sneezing. So we thought that the
allergy was the culprit that he couldn’t sleep at night. He also had a few asthma attack episodes, and one time Amin had to rush him to the ER.
We went to see his doctor a few times when he was very miserable. Every time the doctor told us that he had a sore throat. And that was why he had all the mucus in his nose and throat. It took 3 weeks to get him better after taking the medicines. But a few weeks later, he throat hurt again.
Then came Fall and now Winter, and supposedly no more allergy problems. But Feyruz’ condition got worse. Now he woke up almost every hour after midnight. He just couldn’t sleep, and he snored very loudly. We can hear him snoring from behind close door.
After 6 months of miserable nights for all of us, 3 times he had sore throat, one time he got a high fever; we decided to go for a surgery to remove his tonsil and adenoid. It’s going to be a painful one, and I’m pretty sure he’s going to be really mad after the surgery.
Please make a doa that Feyruz will have a speedy recovery, and hopefully this will solve his sleeping problem.
One happy boy, but not so happy now.
Feyruz at the Liberty Hospital yesterday for his pre-screening surgery check-in.
BBQ chicken for dinner. This is going to be the last few chickens before the surgery. After that he’s just going to eat popsicles.
Ever since he learnt to sing ABC, Feyruz loves to read books again. He spells the words and pretends he’s reading. During the storytime at the library, I could see him paying more attention to Ms Melissa.
Feyruz spelled the title of the song ‘IKAN KEKEK’. Felt like he’s doing a spelling bee LOL
Pretending to read Boboi Boy.
When the weather outside is nice and breezy, we spent some time at the deck. Here’s what Feyruz loves to do:
If anyone has interesting ideas what else I can show/teach Feyruz, please give a shout!
Too much watching Blue’s Clues nowadays. Before, Feyruz just watch whatever Steve/Joe/Blue does on the show. Recently, he tries to imitate the singing and expression and everything else they did on the show. So when Joe & Blue skidoo, Feyruz also wants to skidoo. One time I saw him put a piece of paper with picture on it on the floor. Then he does the skidoo thing. And he did jump on the picture. Funny! Sometimes when he watched Joe skidoo, he pointed to our picture frame as if he wanted to skidoo into it. Adoii too much imagination.
Here are some photos of Feyruz with the same outfit when he was 2 months old. For me, he looks different from Fayyad. What you guys think?
Since our trip back to Msia, Feyruz is due for another haircut. He was doing great halfway thru, but then when he started crying and getting all worked out, Amin kinda butchered his hair. Oh well…
It’s ok Feyruz, it will look much better in a few weeks hehe..
As you can see from the look of the grass & plants, Spring’s already here.. but it felt like almost summer. 80s degree in late March.. ouch! We are starting to work on our lawn. There are a lot of bare patches and weeds that need to be taken care of. And the obvious.. cutting and trimming the grass.
Took a while to get the mower started. Curious Feyruz was all over it.
Soon when you are older, Abah can give you $5 for mowing the lawn
After all the hard work, now playtime at the patio.
“Hey, checked out my new Angry Bird slippers! Thanks to my aunties”
A few weeks ago, Feyruz started recognizing animals and the sound they make. When we watched TV or when we went outside, he got really excited when he saw a dog or bear or fish. And he started calling them.
So last weekend, we decided to go to the zoo in Wichita. It was quite chilly that day.
Me looking very heavy at 33 weeks pregnant. Amin already called me ‘boyot’
Amin and his sidekick. Always together. The little sidekick never wants me whenever Amin is around.
Chasing the ducks to the pond..
Amin had to pull him from following the ducks. “Feyruz, you can’t swim!”
Petting farm. Once, he tried to poke the lamb’s eyes. Aiyoooo…
We showed him cows, horses, goats, camel among others. Feyruz got really excited!
Really huge tiger. Got to see him close up.
Spent 2 hours there, and we only saw half of the animals in the zoo. Okay save for the next visit!
After lunch yesterday, Amin let Feyruz played in the backyard. He’s been running around the house since winter. Now is the time to let him out. It’s not spring yet, but the grass has turned green. And we noticed a lot of birds come and play around the bird’s house.
Good thing he didn’t fall that much on the ground.
It was nice to see Feyruz playing around by himself. He looked more confident walking & running. We just need to buy some balls or toys for him to play outside.
P/S: Feyruz just turned 19 months! (And still cannot speak
