August, month of suprises this year!

Lets start off with my younger son's 5th birthday earlier this month. We had birthday goody bags sent over to his kindergarten, and Khair is so overwhelmed that he hugs, kiss and hugs and kisses again for me. Sweety-pie. Forever a baby in our eyes.
He had two days fever a day after his birthday!
And few days later, while we were at his great-grandmother's house, he injured his feet accidentally stepped on a rusted metal, which he ended up with a feet infection. We brought him to the clinic and was given a jab and anti-biotics (we dreaded this!). Alhamdulillah. He recovered well.

And nope. No celebrations this year at our house as what we have been practising the past years. We are giving ways to Baby Furqan till maybe he is about 4 year older. And the same goes to Sufi too. His birthday celebrations stopped too.

Last few days, it was Sufi's birthday. And am glad that he recovered well from his pro-longed fever. After bringing him to the KKH, we found out that Sufi had chest infection and a suprise news, he has minor-thalassemia... Same as me. I was quite worried and sad, feeling a bit low as genetically he had it due to me having it. But, Rid was very assuring that its not serious. He is afterall a very active boy.
The answers to my questions, brownish hair, similarities in a lot of things. Maybe.
I still believe, 8 months of breastfeeding is never enough to fight chest infection or any other respiratory problems but it did help to maintain his thalassemia in an acceptable range.

Rid and myself, accept the challenges that God has bestowed to us. In fact, we should not be complaining for the sickness that the kids had this month. Its not so bad afterall, since they do not easily falls sick on a monthly rate. Its a few months once thing. Still, we will continue with trying our best to help them stay healthy and happy. Mind and body.

And I have to mentioned this still as a remembrance, Sufi did well for his CA2 exams despite him havng fever during that short hours in school. Well done my love!

I guess, its time for me to go back to MyMumsWorld (S) with the Breastfeeding Month and MMW birthday promotions. I am glad that all is well.

I am thankful  & blessed.

Khair's Fairy Tale Party

When: Mid Term

Role: Prince Khair of Anchorvale Kingdom

Rate: 5 Loves

love equally

For past years Rid & I have been exercising equal attention on the two older boys. Trying still each & everyday. Especially when they are just two years apart, it was easy to spend time equally, quality ways. Its either way, I hangout with Sufi or another part with Khair. Sometimes it just happened that we switch roles on the attention job as much as we can so as not to make each one of them feel neglected.

Even when I went through the 3rd pregnancy phase, I still can managed paying attention to both of them equally. So far, as far as I am concerned, we have done a great job. Sometimes,  bring Sufi out for a short trip to the ColdStorage & do some fruits shopping or sometimes I bring Khair to the playground when Sufi was in a class. Most times, we spend crafty lessons & swimming together.

For now, since Baby Fur entered the family zone, I realised that time is never enough. Juggling the kids with my small tiny work & also the household. And not forgetting I need to spend quality time with Rid too, esp. Well, he is the 'man behind this tiny weeny lady' who is trying to be a SuperWife, SuperMom! hahhh! And so little time for myself. Any time that I have will be well-spent with routines.
And I find it so helpless, when I spend more time with either one of the boys & not the other. Which often is a case of indeliberately. I felt sad if I see either of them seating in a corner, sulking or simply just throwing tantrums to get 'our' attention.

Gosh!! I really need to learn from others a tip or two on how to spend time equally as best as I can. I do envy some stories who tried very hard & managed to do it with best result!!

Well, my situation are not in the critical stage nor it needs attention but I do not mind to improve on this.

Khair.. First time w/out Sufi

You see, this is the first time he went to school without Sufi, since Khair started his pre-school at age 18mths. He is trying to get used not to see his brother at school. He is such a brave boy, thou he kept saying that how he wishes he can enrolled in Madrasah Al-Irsyad with Sufi *winks*

Happy Birthday Khair - my sweet lil'pie

Happy Birthday to Khair. He turns 4years old this week and we prayed that our lil sweetie pie will be sweet, cute & adorable always. May Allah blessed him with happiness, prosperity & health always.

This year is a little different on how we celebrated his birthday, since he has been progressing well at school & home so far that we knew he gets to have a 'Khair's Choice' time this year (apart frm the ritual goodies bags + birthday feast!!), and..... His treats was dinner @ the Hei Sushi(E!Hub) which is his favourite dish. And goshh he is enjoying it as much as we did. And he gets to ride on the Ferris Wheel there...

**will upload pictures soon.. and anyway, in weeks its going to be Sufi's birthday geee... another wish from another son of mine =)

Khair on Home-School

Ahah, its a success! We intended to sent Khair to Infant Care but felt that it was too early for him for 8mths then. So meanwhile home-schooling is great to prepare him. We were planning when he is 18mths old, then we will send him for 3hrs of playgroup session. Slightly earlier than Sufi whom starts at 24mths exactly.

Its great, Khair enjoys it very much but he prefers to listen than holding on to those projects that I created!
