The Little Women

I love, love, love our routines now. That daytime is playtime & night time is reading time. A really good down time. Baby will sit down with me, pick his books then we read together ‘till he yawns  so big then ask for a sleep. This is so rewarding to me as someone who loves reading and finally, my baby starts to enjoy it too! He didn’t even glance when I read him his first book, you know 😅  So interesting watching his interest grow.  How he learn to operates the books, flipping through it by his own & watching his smile got so wide when mama make a funny face or sound / gestures. His eyes literally twinkles when he really likes what he sees. I watched his attention span got longer and longer each time (as long as you can get him interested) so it’s clearly a challenge but a do-able one.  So I guess for anyone who’s confused “What am I doing reading for a baby, do they even understand it.” phase please just keep reading to him/her! The result will reward you in its own time.  C

My ray of sunshine Is called Tondi Who’s now so busy crawling From point A to point B. My ray of sunshine will play ‘till he gets very tired and so sleepy Then come up to me & ask for a huggy My ray of sunshine is so chippery, And my favorite part is now.  When he starts babbling about anything & singing about everything. My ray of sunshine is very, very lovely. He’s so curious; so adventurous and have lots of bravery in his little body. And he’ll be one in less than thirty. Oh what a journey indeed,  A beautiful journey it has been. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 23 Juli 2024. Hari Selasa, pukul 12 siang. 

B : Does it ever get easier? A : What is? B : Losing someone. A : Actually, no it’s not. I still see every bits  of him here and there, his favorite food & all.  Even though it’s already been a year. B : Did you get stronger then? A : No I’m not. I’m just trying to live in a world without him, you know. And the world seems scary, and wobbly. It crumbles down the moment my rock’s gone. B : What are you gonna do, then? A : Nothing. I’m just gonna honour him in my memory and keep him alive in my story  as my dear love, my one and only. He never one to say much but he said it so loudly through his actions, gestures, the smile, hugs and everything.  All he ever wanted was for me to be happy.
