Nael at 5.5 yrs old

Written on 13th Nov 2008.


This Nov month, Nael's turns to 5.5 years old and it's a high time that Ummi jot a few of his accomplishments, milestone indeed for our future readings ;)

Character building - he's more independent, he showers on his own, albeit sometimes I peek just to ensure he showers in the right order, hair and body shampooed and everything is properly cleansed, etc. Sometimes, Ummi or papa has to force him out of the shower, cutting short his joy splashing with water. He can pee on his own w/o supervision but we have to remind him constantly on how he has to clean himself "dicky dah basuh? tangan dah basuh?" but on the big business side, errr that we still have to clean up for him :P

He's very inquisitive, we the parents always have to entertain his 5 Ws, sometimes I just go "yeahhh...uhumm, arggg..ehh ye ker? ok... yes..ohh??.. noooo!" so much of entertaining his queries :(. He's very loving towards his brother AIdan but sometimes very imposing as a big brother. He is quite an obidient boy and I can relate how he perservere on resisting to have any cold drinks/sweets/ice cream due to his coughing/flu or he has run up of his max of sugar intake for the day. He knows his schedule well too. In the morning, every weekday, he will take out his book and read with his papa and after coming back from kindly, he will diligently read his surahs with his nenek and once reach our house, he will do his kindy homework while watching his CN. Before he goes to bed, he will shi2 first, wash his hands and feet and also brush his teeth deligently. So, I'm very please with that.

On the other hand, yang Ummi dia tak tahan, he can be very whiny at times..grrrr...sometime he does his baby like acting, crying and whimpering tak pasal2 and ask me to pujuk. When we deny something from him which is always buying toys for him, he will ask gazillion times when we can buy him this toy or that toy OR when can he has this toy and that particular toy already broken albeit we said No earlier..subtly but persistently..itu yg Ummi dia tak tahan tu hehehe...but when he gets something that he really likes...ohh goshh...he'll profusely says "thank you Ummi, thank you papa" baik jer...

He also has a bigger appetite than before right after he consumed Lysene vitamin. His likes for food varies and the best part, he eats vege! green vege to be exact!! It all started when we told him Superman eats carrot and he bought that! hahahaha..He loves cakes, choc cake the best and deifinetly a sweet tooth himself.

Academic wise, his Teacher Mala said he's quite a shy boy, only with his friends, he is ok, playing with them but whenever his teacher asks him any question, he just refuse to answer but all his work, he can do it on his own. His teacher even praised him, he did not need much help on his studies, he does all his workbook on his own, his Math is really good and so does his writing, one of the best! mehh must be taking after his papa's gene :)
