of Milestones and This & That

Jannah

is currently being potty trained. Not by me though, Anik is doing most of the training. It's been about 2 weeks now and so far she's doing OK. There are mishaps of course, and we still do not dare to go diaper-less when we go out and at night. But at least it is a start. 

worries me sometime with her disengage-ness. There's no way to grab her attention when she does her moods. Should I worry?

had a cute word today : hoshcops for hopscotch :D

knows her ABCs for sure. On one of the iPhone games, there is one that asks the kids to point to a letter being said on the voice-overs. One round of the game, she gets it all right. And in the 2nd round she will purposely choose the wrong answers - all the time!

Aliah

is almost into Book 4 of her Iqra' and has completed Book 2b of the Peter n Jane series. In fact, she can read rather easily most of the easy-to-read storybooks lying around the house.

knows her addition n subtraction till the 20s. Easily. Starting with multiplications now. But I'm not encouraging it yet. (should I?)

loves going to school. Although there has been 1 or 2 incidents where she refuse to wake up. Haha.

also had a cute word today : elepan (pronounced sipi-sipi elephant) for 7-eleven. Haha!!

currently likes Luq.man. Before this it was Far.han n O.mar (brothers lagi!) and before that.. tah sape tah lagi la. But her best friend is still Irdina.Nur.Alia. 

All Cried Out

I thought I was done crying, but apparently I am not. It must be hormones (yes, what else is there to blame).

I guess I am not as OK as I thought. It has been (only?) a month. It would probably need more time. The healing process is still going on. Glad that I did have that good cry though.

Moody?

I've come to realise that lately (read : post-miscarriage), I am becoming more and more moody.

I lose my temper more easily.

I get riled up more easily.

I feel like shouting more often.

I get irritated a lot.

And the worse part is, the brunt of the anger is directed to the girls. Bad Mommy! Bad!

I need to take a step back, I need to stop and pause.

Or else I know I will regret it later.

At least I am aware that I'm in the wrong kan?

Ya Allah, guide me. Give me patience and give me strength. Make me a better Muslim.

Operation Verandah - Part 2

If its is just a picture post acceptable tak? Malas la nak tulis panjang-panjang.

Overview of the verandah, kalau jadik master bedroom besar kan?

We bought the pool already, and it is a worthy investment. Cuma kena rajin put on the filter and bersihkan je la. (but Hubby is diligently doing that, so I'm not complaining!)

The view on the right as you enter the area. This picture was taken over a month ago, now all the plants are much bigger!

Love those tiles!! Love it love it love it! It was the only stock left at I.kea and we took all of it home (including the ones on display at the store!)

Eh, si kecik ni pon ada... Sibuk dia dengan my turn, my turn.

The kids enjoying themselves in the pool. Both Hubby and me loves to just berendam in there too. Quite relaxing really!
