since he's having so much fun in front of me right now.
the phone in the tv rang, and he goes, "hello."
abang is doing his science. and now he's asking najwan to show parts of the body, with najwan faithfully repeating the words.
he is also such an echoer. he usually echoes the last two words we say, whether we are talking to him or not.
mata -- kelip mata; nose -- point to nose; ear -- point to nose (alamak!), tangan -- shows his hands.
he is also into singing. sometimes he sings himself to sleep first. yesterday at 5 am, he woke up and wanted his milk. Upon finishing, he started singing and talking to himself. I was like 'alamak, don't tell me he is waking up for good already!' I pretended to be asleep, and soon, he was also fast asleep. alhamdulillah.
he just took abang's eraser and threw it away. abang asked him to pick it up and he did. if it were his other siblings, a fight would have broken out. Najwan has just gone to the TV and switched it off. Azraf went 'adik, NO.' he switched it on again while laughing gleefully.
the boy is getting away with a lot of stuff. he just pulled Amjad's hair. but yeah, he didn't get yelled at. Abang just messed up Najwan's hair, so najwan thought that was a fun game.
gotta have to learn how to put up a video file or at least an audio file and put up his laugh up here.
this is how he calls the others : 'aBammmm' 'NiOOOO''bang de...' 'alom' 'angAHH' 'kak te'.

pre-"confinement" shopping
The big day is two days away, if you don't count Saturday itself.
Ibu usually goes shopping before giving birth since during confinement you can't go anywhere, so it's only fair the boys get to do a little shopping before their post-khatan 'confinement.' :)
So we went to Jusco for the boys to get a game to keep them occupied, since according to Amjad, they really wouldn't be able to sit in front of the computer playing games then (I wouldn't know, the mechanics sort of elude me at the moment :)).
It took them AGES to pick out something. After going round and round the toy section -- I even offered to take them somewhere else -- they finally decided on a remote control car each.
And then it was time for IBU to go shopping :).
Let's just say I think it was pretty fun going shopping with 10 year old boys. They can carry stuff for you, and you don't have to be constantly on guard watching them -- just trust they will follow you! Of course, Syazmi had to drop the goggle I was going to buy and we couldn't trace it back so I didn't get the goggle. But we bought clothes for the kids and a few other small stuff.
Then we went to Ampang Point to buy CDs for the school trip tomorrow. And then went to have the car washed.
Syazmi was keeping track of the odometer. On the way home, he said, 'eh, we've been going round and round but the number has changed only a bit.' and then he corrected himself, 'oh, we've been moving but the car has not' (yalah, masa dok pusing dalam shopping complex, kereta dok kat car park).
They have their packing to do and I think they're set for their big day.

waiting for the big day
Insya-Allah, if all goes well, the boys will finally get their hearts' desire to be circumsized.
Sounds weird to look forward to something that scares other boys but I think having had it postponed time and again, they're thinking -- finally!
Hopefully, they'll be okay with it. I am clueless what post-khatan caring entails, and after asking around, I think I'd prefer to remain clueless!
It will be on Saturday afternoon, at Grandma's and Atok's place. We'll be going back Friday night, lunch and doa selamat on Saturday and khatan after Asar.

the sick bay is busy
it started with Amjad getting mumps three weeks ago.
then when we got back from KB, Amjad was okay, but not the others.
We got here on thursday. Najwan started running a bit of a temperature Friday. Friday night Najwan and Azraf were tossing about.
Saturday morning we took them to the clinic. Saturday afternoon Hania started running a temperature so we took her later that afternoon. The dr was like 'what's happening to you people.'
Sunday Syakira started running a temperature and we took her to the clinic.
Syazmi was like 'yeah, I'm the hero.'
Then everyone was okay for a couple of days.
It was just the lull before the storm.
Syazmi started complaining his jaw area was hurting. Argh! It turned out he had mumps. Apparently, Amjad picked it up from school, then he must have passed it back to school because another boy had mumps in-between him and Syazmi. (their class has now had 4 boys down consequetively -- they're #2 and #4).
Then Azraf contracted mumps also.
So current count, we still have two staying home from school. And keeping a close watch on Syakira who wasn't feeling very well yesterday.
happy mother's day :).
