Irfan- 2 yrs 8 mo

Kesian Irfan.. hari ni asyik kena marah and pukul je.. he hasn't been eating so ape lagi cranky la kan. Anak cranky mak nye laaagiiii la cranky. Yang kesian nye Irfan la kan...

Sedih betul kalau pikir pasal history Irfan ni. Asyik sakit jela.. at 6 mo kena kawasaki disease, 1+ yr ear surgery for tube and now in June, another surgery because of cavities. I feel like a bad mother. But at the same time, I'm just too tired to handle him. He's making it soooo hard. I dunno why he's not eating. Tak makan meaning tak makan veggies la.. nutritient sume mcm mana. And at one point kalau sakit.. it's the mother again yg kena blame.

Banyak betul la dugaan jaga anak ni.. I dunno if it's just me that having a hard time being a mother. For once I just wish life is easier.. and I can just cruise along. Irfan is a sweet boy.. he really is. He always make me smile, he listens to me when I talk, and there are days when he calls me 'pretty' and pointing at me :)

But when you're a mother and you're with him 24-7, there are times when you just wish that you are away from him, be it at work or where ever. Sometimes I just feel like I need a break, siang malam jaga anak memang boleh sakit otak like seriously. Zuhri gets home around 7 or so.. then he'll be out for soccer or basketball game or whatever- interesting- other- than- staying at home and helping out until it's bed time. So I'm pretty much with Irfan 24-7.. Sigh..

I know.. this is me being me.. whining and rambling.
Irfan, I love you to bits. Please make it easy for mama to love you. ;(

Aunty Cah in da' house

Gem was here several weeks ago (see posting below). She got Irfan a gift - Potty like a Rockstar Ts. We're so loving it.

Irfan proud of himself.

Aunty Cah trying to say something but Irfan buat bo-layan

Eiiikkk.. ape ni aunty cah pegang2 org heheh

Irfan went to his playgroups wearing the T and some mom were like... 'Woahh.. he can potty by himself'. Unbelievable la sgt.. well most americans don't train their kids until 3. But for Msian it's pretty common to have the kids trained by 18 months. Irfan is actually a lil behind but its ok..it is still a memorable milestone :)

The potty journey alhamdulillah was very pleasant, at least it's not as bad as feeding him. There was a time when it started to stall; I think it happened after a month he was potty trained. For one whole week he peed on the floor yikes. Tension makcik. Pelik because he's been using the toilet for one whole month with no problem at all, almost zero accidents, and suddenly there you go... back to square one. I lost my temper, memang marah sgt kat Irfan but he's been good since then. Just that week. From what I've read it's normal and accidents happen. Kesian kat Irfan sampai kena pukul (Sorry baby).. but I have high expectation for my boy, and he has never let me down :)

That's my boy getting ready for Story Time at Barnes and Noble

One of the things that he likes to do at B&N- playing with Thomas th Train

Happy running around

Another Day at The Swimming Pool

Feyruz kejutkan abah mintak bawa ke swimming pool. Abah rajin swimming 4 laps (gaya tipu hehehe)

April’s Trip to Wichita

Now Feyruz has started crawling, I thought that it would be a great trip to see abg Irfan, hoping both of them could play together, somehow

Feyruz was indeed excited when we got to Mak Long’s house. Mostly because.. THERE WERE LOTS & LOTS OF TOYS!! It was so cute to see abg Irfan handed some toys here and there to Feyruz

Another friend came, abg Muhriz.

He couldn’t stop playing the school bus and its wheels. Must buy!

The three of them with Mak Long

Feyruz checking out Pak Long’s back. Hmm something interesting?

Dada & Abah were feeding the boys

The next day, we had lunch at Il Vicino before heading back to KC. Great trip!

Yada Yada Irfan

Last week, i just received birthday card from the most handsome kid in the world *ceh kembang kuncup janet* (kalau guy dah tentu2 lah syafiq!!hahahah =P) iaitu irfan la!! Dalam kad itu beliau telah menunjukkan segala ke kreatifan beliau,,hehehe

Inside of the card,,lalalala comel dan pandai sgt2 irfan!!! (^__^)V







And the most creative part in this card was..............tttaaaaddddaaaaaaaaaa~~

Ini adalah belalang yang dilukis oleh irfan,,huehuehue jadi tak?? *thinking*

Thanx to KIZ collections eeehhhh tersalah plak,,KIZ famillia =)

Oh Boy!

At 2 years 7 months old, Irfan talks a lot. He's really a chatter box although we can hardly understand what he's talking about. Some of his favorites are:

1. Yeaaa... Ohhh yeaahhh.. yeaahhh...!! - he says that when he gets really excited for example when meeting new friends.

2. Is that a grasshopper?? - he likes to draw on the 'doodle board'. He keeps asking us, is that yada yada yada..? All we can see is just some scribbles haha. @_@

And today.. he said couple of things that made me went ....what?!?!! Did he just say that?

It all started this morning, as usual I made breakfast for Irfan. And the menu for today was some buns (dinner rolls) with honey butter. As I was washing the dishes, I kept reminding Irfan that he needed to eat his breakfast.
Me: Irfan... eat your breakfast..eat your roti Irfannnn...
Irfan: Eat roti everyday...?!
Me: @_@ What did you just say?
The thing is, I have never ever heard him using the word everyday. And now he's complaining that he has to eat roti everyday? LOL

Then we were getting ready to go out. I'm having my period and as I was 'terkial2' fixing my pad, Irfan came into the bathroom and looked at me with his round eyes and said 'Mama's diaper...mama's diaper' pointing to my pad!! And I was like... bila masa pulak budak ni belajar cakap mcm ni.. nak samakan diaper dia dgn kite pula. He said that because the pad looks like his diaper! LOL

Geleng kepala jela dgn Irfan ni. He's getting smarter and smarter... and growing really fast too. I know that I'm going to miss this phase of my life.

Feyruz’ First Step in Crawling

This video was taken last Saturday when we stopped at the masjid for Maghrib. Feyruz still wiggles his bottom..

Yesterday, Abah showed him our $150 remote control. He’s been excited to play with it for quite some times, but never had a chance because Ummi hides it from him. But.. just this one time to give Feyruz some motivation hehe.. and he DID IT!! Well, almost actually, because he’s still dragging his right foot. Okay more practice Feyruz!!
