Zachary Is Five

Zachary turned five on the 7th June. Cepatnya cepatnya.

Hmm let us see what is he up to now.

He doesn't sleep with us anymore. But having said that, he asked to sleep on my bed last night. *puzzle but suka jugak*. And he went to sleep on OUR bed rather than his bed which by the way is still next to mine. (He has two stations, one in mine the other is with Sya). The one in my room is reserved for anyone who demam. They have the "privilege" to sleep with us.

He is happy at school with some established friends. No more crying.

He can read and loves to show off.

He is into addition now and claims that he can add up to 17.

Sometimes he doesn't want me to kiss and hug him in front of his friends which I don't care.

He has a good friend. The name is Chilli. He takes him everywhere. Chilli is genderless. Chilli went with us at umrah and nearly got lost. To the concern of everyone including the Faths.

When Zachary prays, Chilli will pray next to him. On a prayer mat too (my small table mat). Complete with a sutrah!! I cannot stop laughing at this, The sutrah is usually a small mineral water bottle.

Sometimes Zachary insist on going to the mosque with his ayah and abang. He believes that it is such a happy thing to do. Once he insist to go for Friday prayers. I suppose it was a bit too long for him. And I also have the suspicion that lover was not very accommodating. So now he would usually tag along for maghrib. Somehow I think he just wants an excuse to wear his thawb.

He claims he can memorise many surahs. He has his own Juzz Amma Progress chart. I know that he can continue the last bit of the verses in many surahs his sister is memorising. With that he put a star on the chart himself.

I am still threatening him with my breastmilk and sometimes he threaten to bit me instead.

I know I am slightly "lembik" with him. But he was not spared when it needs to of course. The other day, ceh ceh ceh keluar example tu, he championed over his siblings on a can of pineapple drink (lover! why do you bring all this drink home??). Then Haziq found a chocolate drink terselit somewhere. Zachary still holding on to his can rush to grab the chocolate drink also. And I got so angry. And told him off. And then I told him to make a deal with his brother in whichever way both of them can come up with. He got the chocolate drink and Haziq got the pineapple drink. But they need to leave some for each other. The latter one I added to the earlier agreement made by the two.

Baru cakap sikit aje nak nangis sedu-sedu. Leceh betul.

Oh well. The siblings adore him regardless he wants to be his boss. He copies his brother and gaduh mulut with his sister. He always hugs me and lover for no reason and tries his best to be fair between us two.

He is growing too quickly. Soon there will be no little one in this household. Gomol dia cepat!!
