One morning...after his bath, about to get ready to put on clothes..


Our healthy baby Aqil..


Umar, Zaky & Aqil...everyone got different thing to do.. somebody has not had shower yet..

It's bath time..

Dolphin interaction at SeaWorld.

Don't have any idea of where to go today.. So went to SeaWorld since Umar still not had enough of the new Bay of Play, which just opened end of May 2008.
Just about to go, Zaky did not seemed to be feeling ok. What's wrong Zaky?...Anything you eaten that's not right for you (yea..he has allergies to certain food too..) Mmmm...Mummy has not given him anything that he can't take, I think. So let's check out his beaker (we r already in the car), Mummy tasted it..."Oh No..it's NOT Soya!" Mummy mistakenly put Umar's milk in his beaker, and he sipped it. Luckily only a little bit...So we just have to look after him, not to get worse. He was so sleepy then, luckily he went to sleep, while his face turning a bit reddish. This time it is very mild..so ok. Can proceed to SeaWorld!


Zaky was so excited to see his favourite...."Coocoo!" (cookie Monster!)



Zaky, "Coocoo!!"

bbq lunch and splish, splash at wading pool for Umar&Zaky.



Ayah, Umar & Zaky. Aqil?...tidoorrr in the stroller.



Evening at Mission Valley Mall

Next day..


Umaro-naldo!

Bring the children to the field.. With a soccer ball, a plastic! golf club! And they will know what to do! Bring those sugar energy out.. and they will sleep at 9.00pm!
It's been a while we did not go to this park/field next to the library (which is 10mins walk fr home, 5mins drive fr door to door! And that is with 2 traffic lights!). And we normally just go to the play area down our block, but if its everyday, we also get bored to see them coming down from the same slides! And since Mummy got 3 heroes!, I have to wait for an assistant! aka Ayah! So we try to make a routine again to play soccer for Umar&Ayah, Zaky-whatever he likes! and Mummy, may be a bit of jogging and shooting pictures of the family actions! We'r gonna miss this place so much!

of Summer Program. It's time to say good bye to school and also teacher Mary who's going to retire. Umar started at this preschool since he's 3 1/2 yrs old, about 1 1/2 yrs ago. Zaky joined too. Aqil also went to school for 2 mths! hehehe...
Since Ayah not working from afternoon anymore, Mummy alone brought the 3 heroes to school. Kinda tough to tackle them 3 at the same time, but with Aqil, a gooood baby! (one of the mothers said, "is your baby battery operated? he's so good, sleeping most of the time" Alhamdulillah. And Aunty Nun, Zaky is ok when walking together (sometimes he opt to sit at the front of the stroller), he listens better than Umar actually! And of course Zaky always like to walk slowly, looking all around, and saying all the alphabets he found at any signs! even on the manhole on the road! pavement/sidewalk! Alhamdulillah he knows all his alphabets and phonics!, without knowing the ABC Song! Thanks to Umar for teaching him on Starfall! Hopefully Zaky can start reading by 3yrs old like Umar. We'll see..


Umar with teacher Mary. At last he agreed to take picture with his teacher, unlike on his graduation day!

I never thought of that!..
Today, Mummy was sewing Zaky's pants, waist part because they normally too loose for him. Length wise is ok. And Umar asked to try sewing, and this is not his 1st, 2nd time asking to try sewing. Mmmm....this time Mummy said, 'Ok'..with thought..'kalau terkena jarum pun, bleeding ajer, don't worry', said to myself. I will let him have a go. So I searched for a piece of cloth. Gave him a piece from this Winnie The Pooh cloth that Mummy bought in UK for Umar to sew his pillow cases before he was born (which cost me 10PoundSterling for a metre! 5yrs ago!).
Firstly I teach him on how to insert the thread into needle. I never thought he would be able to do it, but he did! Then Mummy teach him the simple sewing. Mummy started it, and just leave it to him...while Mummy went to do something else. Khusyuk si Umar.. tak sangka...After a while he came to me saying that he cannot sew anymore because he's running out of thread Sampai hujung habis2 dia buat...sampai tak boleh nak tie the knot! Agaknya tercucuk jugak jari tu sekali dua, but it's ok.. After I saw the finish project, i can't believe my eyes that he did very well indeed! You never knew how capable your children are until you give them the chance and opportunity to do it..
After he finished the first one, he decided to give that as a present to Zaky! So sweet of him always remember his brother Zaky! He asked Mummy for his second! With red thread, his favourite colour. He spent about an hour or so for this cool project, he claimed! And the next day, he asked whether he can make Aqil a baby shirt and so Mummy cut a mini-tiny-weeny shirt for Aqil for him to sew!


Umar khusyuk menjahit!
