azraf has managed 7 full days -- or is it 8? bad mom, I know, but he's supposed to fill in his ramadan chart himself, so ibu got a bit too relaxed about keeping track.
Amjad and Hania have been going strong. And Amjad has been keeping to his words, getting him up for sahur is now no big deal, a little shake-shake and he's up like a shot, he'd go eat, pour his own drink, and go back to sleep. Hania is our side entertainment. Days she'll be like a zombie until she's halfway through her plate, and days she'll be little miss perky (but usually more zombie than perky). she eats as much as Amjad during sahur since she's too zonked out to realize how much I've put in her plate :).
Azraf is the story this year. The days he did not fast were the days he just did not (or could not?) get up for sahur. There were days he even took his food in bed with eyes closed and ibu feeding him. Only good thing was that he'd munch and munch without complaining until it's all eaten up. This week, no more of that, he's graduated to the little table -- not by his choice obviously. I think he'll be ready to join us at the main table next year :).
Ibu -- counting the days when she no longer has to wake up at 4:30 to prepare sahur. And no sleep after that either. But aghh -- not ready for raya yet though!

ramadhan1429: azraf's first
first sahur, in kelantan.
waking azraf up was papa's job. azraf was woken up and started to cry, he didn't want to eat, he wanted to continue sleeping. but he wanted to fast. so made him took his pediasure, that was all he would take.
and he managed to go on until 3 pm! impressive. if only waking up is easier.
second sahur, at home.
as usual, had everything ready before waking them up. this time, he was a bit more gentler and azraf had his sahur with no incidence. pretty good.
but he only managed up until 1, after he got back from school. it's okay, it's only training.
third sahur.
azraf refused to get up. so we left him upstairs. then, when everyone except kak ngah was done (no surprise there) he got up and went downstairs and insisted on having sahur.
it's 7:02 pm, another 19 minutes to go. so far, so good. I dare say he will make it today. he's been feeling the pangs but right now, he's watching syazmi playing computer games so time should pass a lot more quickly for him.
mummy bought otak-otak for abang de's first full fast.
