Playground!!!

First time at a real playground...wwoooohooo....

This playground is great....the rope bridge Kasyfi is in has three stages which I like to call, the beginners stage, intermediate stage and advanced stage...hehehe..this one is the beginners stage...short distance and closer to the ground....the advanced one is huge..tall..and... By the end of our play session Kasyfi was determined to go up the advanced rope bridge. I was, according to my sister, an embarassment coz i kept screaming and yelling.."be careful Kash..slowly kash...you're doin great...CAREFUL!!!" hehhe...

The kids with him are the neighbourhood children who are 'regulars' to this playground. It was kind of sweet... the moment we stepped on to the playground this little boy in the picture took Kasyfi by the hand and started showing him around...


In that space of 40 minutes he taught Kasyfi loads of stuff....I was really impressed with how this kid really wanted Kasyfi to learn eveything about the slide and ropes etc.... very cool. When I think of it now it was probably because majority of the other kids were girls! hahahha... I guess the kid was 'recruiting' more lads.

Next obstacle....up the stairs to get to the giant slide.....

He's almost all grown up it seems....and he's only 2 yrs old!! hehhehe....I find nothing more wonderful to see than my kids discovering something that attracts and interests them.....its just fun..



I remember at this point I was watching the kids take Kasyfi up and I thought, Kasyfi's alright....?!? He's getting on really well with these kids....and he's having fun.... I should really freagin' chill out..! so it's high up...relax...the ground is padded with rubber...hahhaha


Now down the slide......

Trial run with Abang Iswandy first......


And now on his own....handal tiaaaaaa.....hehehhe

I love how this playground in particular has a safe padded floor, just look at it, lovely...! huge improvement ....i remember the playground we used to play at when I was a kid...there were patches of grass here and there which you could literally trip over on, stones, pebbles and rocks everywhere and sand and soil where after rain, puddles and puddles would soak the whole playground..... yea very safe back in the 80s..!!

Yup I like this place....definately going back there again....BUT next time I'm bringing a broom....just bits of cigarette stubs, lollipop sticks scattered....someones gotta clean up.....! Might as well be us...

Kasyfi with his 'gang' ..poor Nawi.... u wait till mommy sweeps this whole place up and soaks it in disinfectant and rinse it down for you ...OK....hahhahahaha.... *not joking!!

With Nini Tua

Here's Kasyfi last week while visiting Nini Boy outside of SICU. His Nini Tua was so eager to carry him everywhere and that, to Kasyfi, is his next victim target. Yes, victim. Kasyfi has a way of finding in a crowd the person who will do everything and anything he says and wants. and so this time it was his nini Tua...hehhehehe.

Mengaji Time

Kasyfi had his first mengaji lesson on Friday, 23rd April 2010 at my friend's house. His classmates are Hanan, Jo's son and Alya, Syida's daughter. I actualy had a video of their lesson that day but Kasyfi accidentally deleted it from my phone! I'll try record another video next lesson.

Here we are at home doing 'revision' of what he learnt last lesson. The big flip cards were a gift from Kasyfi and Nawi's 2nd parents, Ummie Asmah and Bapa Zul. They'll be so proud to know that the jawi cards have been put to good use....hehehhe....

One thing is, Kasyfi seems like he will not give you the time of day unless there is something in it for him. So, to get him to recap on what he's learnt I promised that he could play with his sand pit after he reads 'alif' till 'zai'..... works to an extent, the only thing is that once you promise a reward it must be followed through....hehehhehe...

Kasyfi's Moses Basket

Here's Kasyfi regressing back to his infant days.....!!

We were preparing the moses basket to lend to a friend who is going to have her first baby...aawwww....

Here's Nawi being the 'older' brother looking after the 'baby'..hahhaha... Nawi always seems a bit older than normal somehow...??!??

Our Second Singapore Trip

This was our recent trip to Singapore in February. was supposed to be just me and Sam going but then ended up last minute bringing the kids ... SPOILLLERRR BIG TIME!!!

Anyway, what I learnt was....if you don't bring the maid = NO PROPER SHOPPING...actually, if u bring kids = NO PROPER SHOPPING... so people, always bring a maid with you when travelling....

Here we are at Paragon. Kasyfi spotted his hero, Thomas.... but if you see the video we don't know why he was so stiff..??? hehehhe

Sign Language: PLEASE

Another dream come true.....Nawi can sign the word "Please"... 'Please' is indicated by rubbing the chest in circular movement (or something similar ..lah!). I've seen two babies do a bit of sign language before in the past but I never really taught Kasyfi to sign, probably it was because before I thought it was IMPOSSIBLE to teach babies to sign...BUT now.... I'm proud to report to all sceptic parents, IT IS POSSIBLE!!

He's almost got the hang of saying 'thank you' also but instead if touching his chin out, he touches my chin instead!

I'm trying to teach him the word 'pain' so he can indicate where he is hurting. I need him to touch his two index fingers together over the area that hurts...

Cool stuff this sign language...!!

Visiting Nini Boy at SICU

Here's Kasyfi hanging around outside the SICU where his grandad is ..... Children aren't allowed inside so Kasyfi just entertained everyone with his story of how "dirty" the floor was and how there are 'tikus' in the ventilators......macam macam juaaa.....

Nawi was at home...decided not to bring him ...... i'll bring him to visit once their grandad is out of SICU......
