Emir's 4th concert

His first solo show on stage. Last year I thought he had this stage fright, so the teacher had no other choice but to replace him with his friend. Even though he was looking on the floor which he said was not his intention (he wanted to ensure the mic was OK) but definitely as his mother.. I am really proud of him.. Like you do (if you watch this video), I am disturbed with this old lady sitting at the front row. :) but what to do... they didn't allow us, the parents to stand .. :)

and so, what is you kid's habit...??

Anyway, even though kids are small and err fragile, but they are still a normal human being where they have their own attitude, throwing their expression and not to forget - having their very own habit.. Many says that their habit is actually comes from their own parents or even worst the combination of their parents' habit. Habit basically refers to pattern of behaviour that is repeated over and over again without you realize it.. 

So, most common habit, be it children or adults, the common habits are nail biting and sucking your finger (kid la kan) and we as a parent, even though habit rarely leads to any medical disease,  but we do have to monitor them especially usually this habit relates to their hygiene.. 

and so, my Emir, i mean this 5 years old boy has developed this habit from few years back and I definitely know where this "genetic" came from ... yes my beloved husband.. My husband loves to  "kopek" ok (what do we call in English) any "new things" on his face -- err the pimples, or on his body -- like err wound ke and yes, geli kan or sakit kan, but yes, not for him..

but, man... i tell you....... Emir is even even even worst in this kopek - mengopek. sometimes when the house was so quite, usually I would check on his whereabout and sometimes, he could just sit at the corner of the room, doing this habit.... and... it can be anything!!! and usually his nails!!

he is smiling not because for this camera, but he knows i always say "eeeeee, tak sakit ke buat macam tu" "tak de bende lain ke nak buat" and you know what he is doing? kopek kulit yang sikit je terkeluar tu, sampai dah jadi besar!!! scary right, but Emir always says "besttt"!!! and this is one of the thing that he will do before he sleeps..

and that is the reason why his nails especially the thumb and toe adalah tidak even!! senget benget, he loves this sesi kopek mengopek...

and so, do share you kid's habit pulak, wanna hear from you...

   

Gigi Emir.. - Taking care of kid's teeth

Now, I am starting to worry on Emir's teeth.. honestly I always ensure Emir brushes his teeth at least twice a day, but to tell you the truth, usually he only does it once a day. Most of the morning, he would be very cranky, and very hard to cooperate and ended up, he always skipped his morning brush. Yes, I can always force him and I know I can always used my veto power as a mother, but the problem is, every morning he only wants his father to bath him and you know la, my husband adalah sangat lah berlembut dengan anak nyer :) marah emir memang bile emir betul-betul patut kene marah, unlike his mother yang err err.. you know laa mother haha .. 

and you know why i started to worry

satu gigi dia dah start naik hitam.. waaaa...and he himself dah pandai worry.. bagus jugak!! because of this thing, Emir himself has taken extra precaution, no drinks (besides air masak), or no eating after night brush, pagi2 pun tak yah nak suruh .. I took this picture at his own request, to show to him how bad his tooth gonna be if he continues to escape his morning brush..

My SIL told me nothing to worry, lagipun gigi susu, lepas ni buang, and after gigi susu, barulah kene start betul2 worried kalau gigi hitam.. anyway, i browse the internet and found out that, usually kids toothpaste has no fluoride which actually not really good for the kids teeth. the reason why they didn't put the fluorida and switch it with "strawberry flavor" or etc.. is because the fluoride is little bit "hot" for them .. so what we should do is to mix at least a pea sized of our toothpaste with their kodomo lion (emir's favorite) or any kids toothpaste.. and of cos lah kene ensure all areas are covered by them.. like Emir he always forgot to cover "the middle-end" teeth.. (tengah2 tapi bukan tengah2) ok dunno wat to describe..

so how about you mothers? any tips to share..

Thanks

Emir's Birthday Present

actually this is an outdated story...


U know what happened? My beloved SD has corrupted, and yes, there goes all Emir's Birthday Party pictures, cake galore and all :( but yes, technology is something that you cannot put others to blame on. No matter how we tried our best to "protect" our pictures, but when the technology speaks for itself, i mean the way that we refused to accept the fact that things has corrupted, gone or watever, so just live with it. I know it is not that easy especially when we had recorded all the moments that perhaps can't never be returned twice,


but hey, sape suke suke nak rosakkan barang orang lain.. betul tak? orang tak betul jer berniat jahat or sabotaj nak hancurkan aset orang lain...Maybe you are at the wrong time when the "incident" happened, so you la yang mati-mati kene blame.. sedih tak? well, just a reminder for myself, kalau orang lain buat salah dekat kite, jangan simply nak judge orang tu balik... kebiasaannya orang tak sengaja.. try to "expand" your thinking and what brings that person ter-rosakkan barang kite..


Ok, melalut pulak..


Anyway, as a subject matter, this year we (husband and I) shared our gift for Emir.. Since I was the one who chose the present, being a mother, I am quite reluctant to give something that not related to child's development macam pistol ker, pedang ke or ape2 yang sewaktu dengannya..


Ape lagi, for more choices. Toys 'R' Us la senang... Luckily Emir decided to open his birthday gift few days after his birthday, kalau tak habislah ditelan SD card tu hehehe...

Actually he wanted to have a tri scooter -- ok betul ke orang panggil tri scooter (alaaa yang Elle Pocoyo dok main tu).. but thinking that our house ni dah overloaded dengan barang-barang, so I have to think something smaller..

and tadaaa. this is his birthday present.. Roller Skate by Thomas and Friends!!! and Alhamdulillah, Emir loves it to bits!!

and straight away he tried to skate, and I think being a kid, senang tu dia nak balance diri dia.. sekejap je he skates all over the house, but slowly, plus this skate memang child friendly and dedicated for beginner, so i think that is why it was quite easy for this little munchkin

and of cos, rasa puas bile tengok he is sooo happy!!!

Watch the video ya!! Ni mase baru first few sessions..

I checked Emir's school bag

and I found this...

In case you are wondering.. it is
"Disney Junior Jake Never Land Pirates" :)

and today one of our conversation


Ibu: Hari ni Emir kene sleep early, tomorrow school
Emir: I dun want, i want to be absent
Ibu: Why
Emir: Disney Junior starts tomorrow.. (11 July, today!!)
   

So how??? :D




   

Ahoy to Neverland - Part 2... The Game

Ok, I am not sure how many entries would be on this Ahoy to Neverland. But those of you who has been reading my blog for quite sometime, if I am really into that activity, yes, I would tell you in details. I mean really details.. hehe 

not only for my own records but also as a childhood memory for Emir... 

Let's continue. The event started with an introduction by Zahid AF. He did attracted the parents' attention, at least for me la kan.. nak nak dia celebrity, but not bad ok.. he knows how to interact with the crowd...

So, when he said, "Let's get some fun NOW" we (Kak Didik and I, of cos with the kids) were one of the front line and we targetted Handy Manny dulu..

 

The theme was Teamwork, here, they had prepared three tasks but we only had to complete one task to get the stamp, so Emir and I chose this task - senang saje, kibarkan bendera..

But suddenly, something happened to me, I could not bend down and I was terribly in pain!!! Salah urat ke ape, tak sure, but it took me a while to calm down and I asked this young man to help Emir... and yes, since we were the first batch, muke pun segar bugar lagi..so bole posing-posing dulu :)

Then, we went to Oso's games.. Special Oso is one of Emir's fave cartoon.. and semua bende Emir suruh mak nyer "3 special steps" .. At Oso's, the theme was Bravery

and this is Emir's speciality, shooting the bottles and yes, he did it!! 3 bottles at one go, tak sempat dia nak sibuk main air lagi, dah habis hehehe...

and Mickey Mouse is Emir's all time favorite cartoon..The theme was Memory.

So, they gave us this one map and asked us to collect all treasure hidden in the maze.

I biaselah nak buat lambat-lambat, suruh Emir ambik gambar BUT this little young man, sibuk macam dapat hadiah je, asyik asyik "Ibu, no time, no time"

 By the way, each completed task, the kids have been rewarded with small freebies and of cos it thus created a big smile to a child, on top of getting a stamp from the kakak-kakak or abang-abang. These 4 stamps were quite important in order for us to redeem our goodie bag..

Last but not least, WordWorld with the theme - Reading Clue. and most of the parents would spare this game as the final game and terpakselah kiterang beratur jugak huhu... 

Each team is required to find words based on the clue given, and tell ya, it was not that easy to search a pool of words.. (lupe pulak nak ambik gambar).. tak susah pun, tapi sebab mase tu dah panas terik nya, mase tu kaki i dah sakitnya..

It was a good activity for Emir since Emir baru je nak pandai bace. So here, he has been "forced" to apply his Letterland skills. :D yeah, walaupun clue depan mater je.. :p

Overall the games were well organized and suitable for the Disney Junior kids. Simple tapi fun and exciting kan.. kalau tak kerana dah start panas, I dont mind to do it again with Emir.. :)

   

Ahoy to Neverland - Part 1... Before the event started...

Finally, I managed to grab my laptop.. Thanks to Mama for dropping me at my crib just to take my laptop, ok ok, not exactly, the main reason was to get my son's school bag, dan itulah sambil menyelam minum air.. and yes, I am gonna stay in Kemensah for at least a month.. err or longer :d..

Ladies, take a closer look at the event card invitation, tengok card jer hati dah berbunga-bunga kan.. Emir was too excited, especially now his favorite cartoon is Jake and The Neverland Pirates..

The event was held at Bukia Kiara Equestrian Club and mind you, you will never get lost on how to get there as the signboard for this event adalah di merata-rata tempat...

and knowing Emir yang sangat susah ambik gambar, but at this event, he was a camera friendly.. Just asked him to pose and he would give his best pose.. :D bukan senang Emir macam gini...

 Yes, even though Jake and The Neverland Pirates has yet to be aired on Disney Junior channel (11 July), but everytime ade iklan ke ape, Emir will kelam kabut to get his eyes on Jake..

The event was supposed to start at 9 am, but it was only started at 10 am.. Nasib baik Emir mood baikkk punye..

So, before the stage was conquered by Zahid AF tu, baiklah ibu dan anak beramah mesra dengan kamera dulu...

and the invitation for 4, so i invited my cousin, Ira and her daughter, Mia to join me and Emir since Mr. Husband sedang di dalam pesawat Air Asia :(

Peace!! from Emir.. tunggu yer Ibu Emir update what happened during the event.. :D

To be continued...
