nak ikut

najwan has very sharp ears. no matter which house he is in, if somebody opens the door of the other house, he will rush to open the door to see who is going out so that he could tag along.

abah nak go surau? nak ikut!
papa nak go petronas? nak ikut!
mummy nak go carrefour? nak ikut?
ibu nak go where? nak ikut!

or else he's other reason for checking out the door opening is so that he can go rush outside and ride his bicycle.

I get home. Najwan opens the door. Gleefully rushes outside. Every mother's dream to have this warm welcome? Ha ha. He rushes outside and gets on his bicycle and goes the few rounds he can get during the time it takes me to put away my shoes and calls him to come inside with me.

Of course, to be fair, if I get in before he manages to go outside, I do get a big hug and a wet kiss.

tooth still there

azraf has had his bottom tooth loose and the permanent one peeking up since early april. we went to the dentist who said the milk teeth should be much looser in a month's time as the permanent one moved to the front.

6 weeks already (from the time we went to the dentist, the new tooth has been out for about 2 months now, and we are not seeing much progress.

so auntie dentist, what's the verdict? been composing in my head the post on his first tooth out for some time now.

kidz on line

amjad and syazmi have been on friendster and gmail for a few months now. not that they are that active, in fact, they think all those friendster emails in their inbox are a bit too much (that requires reading!!!). syakira also has an email.

the challenge was for them to have their own blog running but no one has really put a serious effort on meeting mummy's challenge.

anyway, so azraf *really* wants his own email. not sure what a 6 y.o. would really use it for, but he was really persuasive, or let's just say he was very persistent in his bugging me for one :).

so last night we set one up for him. and he has sent his own email to papa, and today to uda. one-liners as he's figuring out the spelling and also key-board lay-out at the same time, so it was tiring for both him and me! he has learned to log in by himself, then of course we have to guide him after that.

so now all kids but najwan have emails.

azraf actually wanted a friendster account, he was like 'where are all the pictures?' but he's happy just having a little piece of the online action to call his own for the time being. besides, ibu has a bit too much on hand right now to help him with a friendster account. maybe in a couple of years' time after I've figured out facebook and those social utility sites work :).
