2.5 years

Assalamualaikum...

The last I posted was more than a year back. Syawal development is way different then the last post as he is now 2years 6months old. He talks a lot & a very hyperactive kid with a memory that is like a sponge. He absorb things very fast. He just needs the word to be repeated 5 times and he can remember it. Even an incident or promise. If you promise to give him something & u lied or forgot about it, he will keep asking even the next next next day.. haha. He can sings some of the nursery rhymes and forever wants to joget when he hears music
. Hari-hari mesti nak berpeluh. 

His favourite toys is definitely vehicles and soft toys. He knows what is a taxi, a truck (container truck, garbage truck), bulldozer, buggy, limo, caravan, excavator, different types of cars... so on. He owns everyone of them. He loves soft toys since he was a baby. He will chuckle everytime he saw a teddy bear.  Even now he wants to sleep with soft toys Didi Nana JoJo Mr Bean Bear Nila Teddy & Squirrel. Haha... he knows all the name hor. He will pretend to put them to bed..kisses them..let them sit.. stand. Both of his grandparents definitely dislike him playing with softoys as they said, it is meant for girls. To me, it shows he has a soft heart for empathy. He does not throw them or "beat" them. Rather than I give him violent toys like toyguns or toy knife. He doesnt like them. In fact he does not even look or touch it when we brought him to the toy store. 

He's definitely a mummy's boy. Everytime I come home from work, he has the widest smile on his face & invite me to play with him. If I'm at work,  out of the blue he will ask his nenek, "mana ibu?"  Its a must for him to sleep on my tummy at night. 

This doesnt mean Syawal is a prefect child. He does has tantrums like every other two years old. But I had never ever scold or shouted at him. To me its a never ending episode if a child shout at you & you shouted back. Because he understand words now, I'll talk to him. For example, saying sorry if you hit someone. Hug and kiss after that. If he wants something that I dont want to give it, I will distract him..if it doesnt work, i will just let him cry. It doesnt mean i ignore him. It means that not everything u want you can have. If he ask for something, I will tell him to ask nicely first... he will say, "please ibu.." when he got it, he will say, "thank you ibu!" 

Teaching him good manners & empathy is my number 1 priority. What for I have a smart child but a sombong attitude? Because he learns well now, our grandparents said he should go uni. Well, my response is I dont care if he end up being a repeat student or school drop out because I've repeated 2 years in poly & my husband was a poly drop out but we still do well in life. Nevertheless I still respect our parents views. 

Having Syawal is like having hari raya everyday. Haha. Coz Im so happy to see him. Always looking forward to spend time with him after work. My husband & I do think of having no. 2 but I just want to have more 1to1 time with Syawal.. Next year he's going to school & we'll see if no.2 is going to happen...
