My Baby Widad

Widad is 3 today!!!

Widad is 3 today!!!

I seldom talk about Widad. My daughter. The one who gives me daily headache, the one who put a big grin on my face, the one who do things beyond my thinking, the one who is looking for me at night to sleep with, the one who has super power although time show 12 midnight. She is Widad Safiyyah. No matter what she does, I love her so much. A day without her, I feel the world is so silent and quiet.

fe19f26a736a11e2a1e322000a9e0853_7If you see this spiderwoman in motion car, what do you expect this mother to do?? This is the daily madness that i need to go through with her

copilotWhat am I supposed to do when I saw this face. Melting .
One day, I received a report from her teacher :
Teacher :  Pn, Widad is biting her friend – showing the two teeth marked.
Me : Adik, why do you bites your friend
Widad : Gigi adik tajam (My teeth is sharp)
Me : Should I scold her or laugh there and then.

Do you know she is shouting like someone is beating her up when the batter is finished. Not to mention the aftermath she did on the floor. Just forget it. She is exploring and in the learning process

diaper onlyYou’ve been punished. Your cloth must be dried and comfortable enough to wear. Until then, wear diaper and diaper only. Yet she still smiling.

Extended Breastfeeding When Do You Stop

“Para ibu hendaklah menyusukan anak-anaknya selama dua tahun penuh, yaitu bagi yang ingin menyempurnakan penyusuan.”(Al-Baqarah : 233) [source : Halaqah.net]

According to surah Al-Baqarah : 233, A mother shall breastfeed their children for whole 2 years, for whoever desires to complete the term

[1] As for me, I’m still breastfeed Widad although she already 2Y 3M old. I’d try to wean her but she never let my breast off and away from her side.

[2] I’m planning to wean Widad, but the plan with no action is mean nothing at all. I want  Widad to wean off slowly and naturally.

Why I still Breastfeed Widad

[3] I love the moment when Widad lay down on my lap and her hand touching my face. The world is only us.

[4] I love the sound of gulp gulp gulp coming out while nursing her. I justify myself that I had satisfy Widad’s nutritional and emotional needs

[5] I love the attachment between me and Widad. Amirul is Mummy’s boy, while Widad is Daddy’s girl. So while nursing her, is the moment where she snug me comfortably

[6] I love to become Widad’s soother whenever she is afraid of something. Daddy wanna scold her, she immediately ask for milk, Abang scold her still me, heard the loud thunder, run for me and suckle my breast. I’m really her soother.

So when Do I wean??
Erhm, maybe next year, or I should conceive and tell her ” Adik, little baby want to drink milk, pity her if you drink all Mummy’s milk”

Syok kan dier dok drink milk Mummy

Kisah dan Teladan

Do you remember Kisah Sang Kancil dan buaya, Jangan Monyet, Bagai Anjing dan bayang-bayang, Kisah Gagak yang bijak and few more.

These are the stories that I’m grow up with. Simple stories that is full of examples and messages. Good for toddlers and preschooler. Unlike kids nowadays who like to watch Ben 10, Boboiboy, Upin & Ipin, Princess Barbie – not forgetting my own Amirul & Widad, exposing to this stories may develop their correct Bahasa malayu, and proverb, and not forgetting adding new vocabulary. I do not know that mergastua is animals live in the jungle. I though mergastua is a bird. huhuhu

Recently, there is tv programs at Astro, Pada Zaman Dahulu. This tv series is about Aris and Ara as they experience the simple life in the village and embark on Sang Kancil’s adventures. Tho is new version of Kisah dan Teladan, I still prefer to have Kisah dan Teladan from Filem Negara Malaysia tho its animation is less attractive compare to Pada Zaman Dahulu series.

I started to introduce the Amirul and Widad to these stories and they are really enjoy with this simple yet entertaining.The message is easily understood

The following are the Kisah dan Teladan stories that i like


Kisah Sangkancil dan Buaya :
Lesson learn :
[1] Air yang tenang jangan di sangka tiada buaya
[2] Sepandai-pandai tupai melompat, akhirnya jatuh ke tanah jua
Meaning :
[1] Orang yang diam jangan disangka pengecut.
[2] Orang pandai kadang-kadang buat silap


kisah jangan monyet
Lesson Learn : kita hendaklah mendengar nasihat orang lain

Kisah Gagak yang Bijak :
Lesson Learn : Byk perkara yang dapat diselesaikan sekiranya kita menggunakan akal

Kisah arnab dan kura-kura :
Lesson Learn : Jangan menghina orang yang lemah, kerana menghina itu akan merugikan diri sdn

Hospital Trip : Widad 2D 1N @ KPMC Kajang

I Get My Curly Hair Cut

Goodbye curly hair, till we meet again

Widad is having very bad rashes at her neck and chin area, I just insist to cut her hair short but Daddy at 1st disagree

Somehow, the rashes getting worse and he said Yes, immediately i brought Widad to Eyang’s salon and get her hair cut

Children Tantrums

Children when they frustrated/ acquired for attention/ in the disappointment,  they will throw out tantrums. Tantrums strike regardless place or time. They will shouting, roll on the floor, rush around the room; wild and screaming throwing things in his hand like toys, milk bottles, etc. They actually out of control; neither we nor them can control their own feeling.

She may scream and scream until she makes herself hoarse; makes herself retch; even makes herself throw up [ source: Babycentre]

Amirul : 4 years old

Amirul starts SULKING / WHINING/ SCREAMING -

with this one powerful sentence ” Abang nk kena cubit/ scold ker?? ” terus Amirul behave

 

Video : Widad : 2years Old

How to handle tantrums :

  • Good behavior leads to good reward;  Behave like a good boy/girl like this
  • Be cool and relax. Just watch how long they will behaving like that. I’m getting use to Amirul/Widad’s whining/ crying. Its like melody.. huhuh
  • Don’t giving in to their acts/ tantrums . This will make them feel their victory. ” Yeay, mummy/daddy listen to me, now i can do it again in the future,” goshh NO
  • They stop whining/ screaming/ and settle down their own feeling. ” Come hugs and kiss Mummy, Now you tell me again, what do you want”
  • Last resort : Give a warning alarm like pinching, grounded for 15 minutes,

Real Difference Between Boys and Girls

I’d read this article at parenting.com which i found quite interesting. The real difference between boy and girl. Alhamdulillah. I have a pair which me and Mr Hubby feel the differences between rising a little prince and princess

Little Ben 10 was here!! Ready for actions

  • They like motion : Boys prefer to watch mechanical motion over human motion

Digger, tractor, car etc

  • They’ve got the moves :  Girls do talk first, but boys are likely to start walking — and hit all the major motor milestones

His first step at 11months old

  • They’re more emotional than you think : boys tend to be more easily agitated than girls and have a harder time self-soothing – Yes, Amirul manja. He hugs, kiss, me alot compare to Widad and most of all, he need me as his bolster to sleep
  • They love a crowd : boys would rather look at a mobile than a single face – No really, because Amirul is a shy little man. Introvert personality
  • They’re (comparatively) fearless : boys were much less likely than girls the same age to report that they startles in response to loud noises or stimuli – I’m not sure, still early to say so

Daddy’s LittlePrincess is in the house

  • They’re made to mimic : girls excel at imitation

Put baby to sleep. patting and sing lullaby. Ya Allah. Ya Allah. Ya Allah. [berzikir]

  • They’re good with their hands : they use eating utensils sooner; and they write sooner (and more neatly), too

Amirul 4, Widad 2. Both doing art using water color. Widad suka makan sdn, Amirul memanjang nk kena suap haishhhh

  • They may be better listeners : when you talk, the girls will be more likely to become engaged – Widad very fascinate tv, animation, our conversation
  • They like face time : Girls are more likely to establish and maintain eye contact, and are attracted to individual faces - Erhmm,. tak sure la, ada ker???
  • They talk sooner : Girls understand what you’re saying before boys do, start speaking earlier – Widad starts talking very early around 1yrs ++,  Dia stop cakap bler tido jer. ada jer dier nk cakap. very cute and sound so cheeky esp bler dier takmo sleep and mintak macam2. ” Mummy gatal kat sini la, nak ubat please, Mummy nk ubat, Adik sakit mata”

Its amazing true and rising both of them giving us new challenges and adventures

You are 2 Today!!!

My cheeky baby turn 2 today. I love you darling Widad

2 years old milestone :

  • Can name at least six body parts on a doll : eyes, hand, leg
  • Half of speech is understandable : “nak ubat, mummy jom. nk vitagen dalam fridge”
  • Can make short sentences – I’m coughing badly, she told me ” Mummy batuk, Mummy nak air, cepat la, jom, “
  • Can walk down stairs – expert since 1 year plus
  • Favorite song : burung kakak tua,
  • She loves to play pretend. she has doll name atok, cat, doldol, jojo, bearbear. hasihh

Tips & Tricks for Working MOTHER w Toddlers and NO MAID

Photo by : tifotter

If YES, that you are a working mother with toddlers and no maid, I would like to share tips and tricks perhaps useful for you in managing your house, children and enjoy your ME time as well

HOUSEKEEPING / ORGANIZING

[1] Clothing

Clothes – I do my laundry twice a week except for children’s school uniforms
Tips & Tricks :

  1. Sorting clothes before laundry . Sort clothing by washing method, color and type of fabric [Small&big/ dark colour & white colour/ cotton & silk]
  2. Laundering the bra/panties/tudung into mesh zipper bag. Use ‘quick wash’ instead of ‘fuzzy’
  3. Soak Amirul’s school uniform in small pile and wash before sleep
  4. Folding Clothes – I’m using basket system like this or you can try hanging system
  5. Ironing Clothes – Once a week . Plan the whole week office attire and consider if the top cover the pockets of the pants? If yes, just skip the upper portion of your slacks

[2] Clean and tidiness -

  • Daily : Sweep the floor after kids go to bed. Mr Hubby bring kids to bed I’m cleaning the living room,
  • Weekly : Vacuum / Mop / Toilet Cleaning
  • Children’s Toys : Do ask your kids to help you keeping the toys back into the toy’s basket, or asked them to put the toys into his/her ‘favorites bag’. Buy 2-in-1 storage box. Mine can use as storage box and stool
  • Trash: Make a habit to clean your dustbin every night before go to sleep and put infront of front door. The moment you step out the door, you will accidentally stepped on your garbage that you put yesterday and automatically pick up trash for the trash thrown out
  • Kitchen : Wash all the dishes after meal. Compulsory with no exception. So that there will be no unwashed dishes left in the sink

FOODS / EATING/ KITCHEN CHORES
Instant foods is not recommended but if you are working, foods preparation is very time consuming. What i normally do is marinate the chicken and put in freezer, before I go to work, just place the the chicken at chiller compartment and by the time I’m coming back the chicken already defrost. Place the chicken on the pan and roasted it. EASY, QUICK, HEALTHY. The only vegie that available in my fridge are carrot and mushroom. Just steam or fry with no oil. We eat rice only on weekend. Instead of eating rice we opt for mee/spaghetti. With a lot of frozen foods like sausages, chicken ball, nugget, crab finger, you name it, all in my fridge. Don’t fry with oil the sausages/nuggets etc, put in your fying pan put in slow heat and leave it wait until cook.

While waiting your foods to be ready, you can have you children-parent quality time like asking what they did at school, watching tv , play together.

We have foods heaven only on weekend either at MIL’s house or dining at fancy restaurant. MIL always says, eat like a beggar during weekdays and like a king during weekend.. huhuh

I’m doing the cooking, Mr Hubby do the cleaning.

CHILDREN

  • Eating time : 8 – 830pm. Normally we eat very light dinner because they already eaten at school. Mee/rice. Both Amirul and widad is really simple
  • Sleeping time : 830 – 9pm – Ready to sleep. Daddy will bring Widad to sleep , Amirul still have time either to belajar/watching cartoon/play games. Amirul sleeps 10pm.
  • Play time :

ME Time
Yeay now house is clean, kids is sleeping. Mummy and daddy can have Me time. Now My Hubby plays guitar and I updating this post. :D
