Mummy was feeding him, Zaky, a piece of chicken and it fell before reaching his mouth, so Mummy said, "Sorry Zaky" Then he answered, "Not sorry. Sorry about that" So Mummy said again, "Sorry about that Zaky", then he answered, "That's better" "It's ok Mummy"
Macam-macamlah si Zaky! :P At 2yrs 22mths.
Umar, Mummy and Zaky were reading a book about Food Chain. Then came to the page about plant needs sunlight, water and air to grow. And I asked Umar again what did the plant need to grow. Umar, "Sunlight, air, water and patience" Mummy, "Patience?"
Umar, "Patience because they have to wait a long time to grow big"
:-) How much surprise can you get from your children's language, everyday!

Update for kids 1,2,3
Aqil just turned ONE yr old, Zaky 3 mths to 3 yrs old and Umar 3mths 40days to 6 yrs old. Aqil can say 'there' and point out what he wants, too many times in a day! clap hands when prompt, do twinkle-twinkle little star with his tiny fingers (asking us to sing it while he does the action ;-), say 'aw-wahh' for hello, C phonic 'khhe' when he sees C or cat! Can say phonic A, Aaa.. and 'papa' for apple. B, bbaa for ball; whenever he's on ABC on starfall.com. Enough 3 letters for a start ;-) Aqil loves the mouse and keyboard so much. And Aqil is one active, adventurous baby, climbing everywhere! even stand up on chair (his small chair), rocking horse and anything that he can climb and stand on, and take advantage if somebody close to something that he can step on our feet, hand, shoulder to get to his target place! Hahahha...
Other than that he basically understand simple command, ask him to take certain toys, ask him to show where is the bird! ask him to give it to you and few others.
Zaky is 3 mths to 3 yrs old, waiting for him to be able to read :P for now he can recognised few words like 'exit' (his favourite, at car parks, malls etc), 'shapes', 'bakugan' (one of fav toy!), 'fish' and 2,3 more. So we r trying to get him to be able to read, as it's just that 'click' hasn't got into his brain yet..he knows all the phonics and all, not new for him. In numbers, he can count to 20, to our surprise. Like Umar, teaching them in daily life things..however he can recognise numbers until 11, and still not get 4 is 4 things and further, 1,2,3 things he's ok. It takes time and practise. Other than that what is interesting about Zaky is his language ability, his vocabulary, he's far ahead from his peers (he's not started school yet, hehehe :P said that because everybody here will start their kid at school at yr they r 3yrs old, but i wanna wait a bit more longer). One of the reason is because he always play with Umar and have conversations with Umar when they r playing together. We love to hear them communicate with each other. So cute and funny when Umar had to explain, describe things to him when he asked. When playing pretend, computer games etc. But this boy is really good at politics with people around him. He will create a conversation or asked you things first before he tells you what he actually wants. "Can i see what's up there Mummy?" "hmmm..i like that biscuit, can i have some please"..and he's always with please and thank you. Bless you Zaky. But with that opposite he got tantrum 2 that Umar never had before. New experience for us when he's crying, struggling in the car, lying down at our feet in the car etc, one incident just this evening when we all ready to have dinner picnic (6pm)at the beach next to playground. We told him we r going to playground and he actually thought the playground down the block. So he didn't want to get in the car :P struggling in the car, crying while saying, "I wanna go playground" repeatedly. Even we say we r going to the playground Zaky, it's near the beach. "No! Not near the beach!" "Don't drive! driving is boring" another word from him since a month or so ago, 'boring'. "Shower is boring" "Eat is boring" "Ribena is boring" "Biscuit is boring", whatever he doesn't like at that time..is boring! Hahahahhaha... but when you say to him, "Are you boring Zaky?" he will open his eyes wide while thinking and say "No I'm not! You are boring!" Sabar je lah si Zaky ni... Hahaahahahaha...
Umar..who can't wait for his birthday, wishing that his birthday falls on January because he said he'll be the 1st to celebrate birthday every year! Hahahhaha.. Now he got to wait for Mummy's, Aqil's and Zaky's b'day before his turn :-) And still like before, Umar, who is so hard to get one thing done in his daily tasks, because everything has to have reason behind it, for him! Why shower? Why eat? Why wash hands? Yea, after all the explanations done, he went, "I don't want to.." Uurrggghhhh.. After few years of struggling with him, just few days ago (after Mummy got e-mail about iblis/satan who tells their secret to Nabi Muhammad saw.) when I don't have other points for his arguments, I told him the story about satan, that they always make us do bad things like disobey parents etc. Alhamdulillah he did listen for that time ;-) And on the way to his Iqra' class, Mummy continue the story of Prophet Adam, the 1st human being and how Allah sent him to live on earth because he listen to satan and disobey Allah. He listened to the story with surprise. So now we use, "don't let satan win Umar..you have to fight, come on..satan tells you not to shower.. " At least he listens after some arguments too! :P Hhmmm to that extent that we have to explain to him to listen, to do his daily tasks..
Another one, one day he came back from madrasah showing his work. Ustazah asked to draw Allah's creation, and in his picture is television, computer and another one looks like a person but he said it's a robot! OMG!.. He thought everything is Allah's creation including the machines that is part of life today. Children nowadays..they hardly relate the difference from Allah's creation. So we have to explain to him. And the picnic by the beach this evening had given us the chance to tell him more about Allah's creation when u'r out, seeing the sky, the sea, waves, trees, grass, birds etc. And Umar asked, "Does Allah make kuey-teow?" (we brought for dinner picnic!) then another explanation, where the kuey teow originally came from. Then he said, "So it's like the food chain, and Allah is the top of the chain.." so we say, "sort of..but for sure Allah is the greatest Creator"
Mummy's no1,2,3 boys..May Allah bless you, protect you and you become a soleh person, Aminn.
