Time flies... My boys are growing up too fast...

Let's start with Amin's development:

1. Amin is 2 years 11 months old. He's turning 3 on Aug. 9, 2008.

2. He loves 'drawing', especially drawing a police car, fire truck, train and fish. Our plain sofa now has 'patterns' on it. If I don't give him papers or books, then that's where he will do his drawing.


3. Very imaginative. Last weekend we went back to kampung Bentong but 2 of his beloved uncles were not at home. He found an old phone and he started talking to his uncles on the phone, telling them that he's back at kampung and playing, and telling other stories. We really thought he was talking to his uncles but he was just acting

4. Atok bought him a tri-cycle and he is having fun riding it. Few weeks ago, he fell in a big longkang, while trying to turn his bike. He's okay... just small bruises. But that didn't stop him from riding his bicycle again.


5. Starting going to preschool at Q-dees Setiawangsa on Monday, June 30th. There are only 6 children for 3-yo class. Every morning I dropped him at school and just stayed for 5 minutes and left him there. The first two days he was crying realy hard and wanted to come with me. Knowing him, he usually cry for a few minutes and then he will be ok and play with the others. Today, he was stil crying but he sat on his chair and didn't follow me. So he's getting better. I pick him up at noon and he would be smiling and telling me what he did that day. He even told me that he was crying in the morning and calling.. Ibu, Ayah... and then he laughed at himself..




Now, Ammar's development:

1. Ammar is 1 year 5 months. He is very active but hasn't started talking yet. He can say Ibu and Baa (caling his abang). He hasn't said ayah yet. However, he understand instruction very well.

2. He loves to follow his brother. Amin climbs, he would too... Amin dance, he dance... Amin jumps, he jumps....


3. He also likes to tease his brother. When Amin was watching his favorite tv, Ammar would go and turn off the TV. When Amin was playing with his car, Ammar would come and steal the car away... When Amin was quietly doing his own thing, Ammar would go and smack his brother... Amin got upset and start chasing Ammar and Ammar would try to run away. Amin would smack Ammar back or bite Ammar.. and Ammar would cry.. and both of them will be punished.



4. Ammar might be having a chicken pox. Took him to doctor yesterday because there were red spots on his hands and legs; however, there's none on his body.. Doc said usually it started from body. So I'm monitoring Ammar's progress. Today saw a couple of spots under his arm pits... probably it takes time to come out.




Updated: Well... it turned out Ammar didn't get a chickenpox.. coz his body and face was still clean after 7 days.. so doc said could probably be the hand, foot and mouth thingy... how did he get it in the first place??? hmmmm... so far Abang Amin ok..
