Bismillaah
Sarah loves to grab spectacles whenever she saw one. Ibu's glasses was her favorite, then abah's, then anyone else's that were within her reach.
We have to be very careful with our glasses now since Hajar, Adam, and Maryam were not fond of glasses when they were at Sarah's age.
Sarah also loves to climb the stairs, chairs, etc. Plus, she loves the bathroom!
Extra caution is the key now as ibu was easily distracted and worn out with 4 young hearts at home.

SPORTS DAY
bismillaah
Today was the sports day and we went out as early as 730am, but there was a quite thick haze outside! walHamdulillaah a'la kulli haal.
We enjoyed the sports, witnessed Adam lead the pledge-English version,
and watched Adam and Maryam and competing with high spirits. Adam made a nice move today when he had to go through the 'palang'. Others simply crawled below the barrier, but Adam ran fast and skidded through it. A very nice, and creative move, mashaAllaah. His team won the first place, alHamdulillaah for his highly energetic team mates.
Maryam also did very good as a 4 year old. She ran fast and participated eagerly too. She was a bit shy but it didn't stop her, alHAmdulillaah.
Hajar was having fun with her girlfriends, running around, entertaining Sarah, and eating, and drinking. Sarah cooperated very well, alHamdulillaah, despite the unhealthy weather and heat. For record, there were no rains for weeks already, and this haze reminds many of ad-Dukhan mentioned in the Quran. Allaahu musta'an..
We went straight back home afterwards, couldn't stand the haze any longer. May Allaah give us good health and bless us with pouring rains soon, Ameen.

Adam
Bismillaah
Adam, our only boy(so far :) ), alHamdulillaah.
He is very energetic, bubbly, and brave.
He is our time keeper now as he can tell time a bit already. He is the earliest to get ready in the morning. One special thing is he loves to remind us 'dah masuk waktu solat!'.
"Ibu abah, dah Maghrib!"
"Dah azan, solat Asar!"
"Ibu dah solat ke?"
"Ibu, ibu, solat Subuh."
alHamdulillah he understands that solat is to be performed as soon as the waktu dah masuk. Kalau terlambat sikit, Adam akan bising. He would notice when ibu didnt perform solat as usual, and he would asked. Ibu had to explain the excuse given to women.luckily, he has heard that women are special before from the Upin Ipin cartoon when Kak Ros didnt fast during Ramadhan. Now, he will ask," Kenapa ibu tak solat, cuti ker?"
He is very enthusiastic in reading Iqra', and will not mind going over several pages at a time.
He always ask to play games in the phone or computer, but rarely given the chance. He didn't complain when ibu abah didn't allow him to play games though.
Tomorrow will be the kindy's sports day, and Adam will read the English version of the sports day pledge insyaAllaah. He is eagerly waiting for tomorrow(Maryam and Hajar too).

Maryam
Bismillaah
Maryam was born in the States, and has a bigger build than her siblings(coincidence eh?), and she has the fairest skin.
AlHamdulillaah, she has a very strong personality. it is just that we(abah dan ibu) tidak memanjakan sesiapa melebih2. If you did wrong, then you did wrong. Let's think of a way to make it up, insyaAllaah.
Maryam banyak senyap dan buat kerja sendiri like playing pretend, and making a good use of abang and kakak's old books. Since she can read a bit now, and she knows numbers and simple calculation, she basically enjoy answering, filling in the blanks,coloring, and writing on all the pages that were left 'untouched' by abang and kakak. They got the books from kindy as their kindy will let them take all their books home at the end of the school year. Most of the times, Maryam loves doing the activities on her own, and will only ask for help when she really has no clue.
Tapi jangan terkejut bila Maryam jadi garang because she will fight for her rights. If she really wanted to get or to do something, she will try her best to get it. If she is really into what she is doing, don't bother calling her name as she rarely answers.
She loves playing with adik too, but sometimes went a bit rough on adik as Maryam does not fully understand that adik is still a baby who cannot do many things as good as abang kakak.

Sarah
Bismillaah
Heart melting when Sarah waved goodbye and flashed a flying kiss in the morning as ibu walked away. Was thinking of turning back and giving her a tight hug and kiss, but then, Sarah would cry and don't want to stay at the nursery. Tough choices everyday, walHamdulillaah a'la kulli haal. She no longer cries or refuses to stay at the nursery, though a hint of sadness is still showing in her eyes.
When ibu hug and kiss Sarah, she will hug and kiss your cheek in return. Wonderful feeling, mashaAllaah.
Sarah has a favorite small, board book. It is about different sounds around the Sesame Street. Sarah loves flipping through the pages and 'read' them. She will usually grab the book while ibu put her clothes on or change her diaper. She will giggle, laugh, and try to imitate when ibu read the book aloud while making all the different sounds.

Rivers remind me of paradise
bismillaah
wouldnt you agree if I say, the cutest 'walk' is the walk of a child who has just learned to walk?
enjoying the moments watching Sarah took her woobly, cute steps around. A few steps at a time, adorned with the beautiful, proud smile on her lips, mashaAllaah. Yup, take those first steps no matter how hard and terrifying they are for at the end it will feel very satisfying with no regrets,inshaAllaah.
Plus, Sarah now officially calls me 'Ibu,' knows to hold a pen/cil and menconteng around, loves to menyuap others, and is very curious of the bathroom(especially the water!).
Last Thursday, Allaah gave us the chance to appreciate the beauty of the nature at a beautiful place in Janda Baik, Pahang, and Sarah definitely enjoyed her time splashing in the river with abah and her siblings, alHamdulillaah. The water was (refreshingly) cool and the scenery was just so calming, mashAllaah. It sure felt very good to go back to the nature.
Before that, we went to Ampang and played bowling! It was funny and fun with the children rolling the ball on the lane.
alHamdulillaah, we had an amazing day together. For sure, it is gonna be wayyyyyyyy amazing in Jannah as a family, ameen.
