Aqil sits

Today, Aqil (not witnessed by anyone of us) SITS on HIS OWN!!!!
I am proud of you my little wonderful boy!!

We were back at home around 9pm. Dominos that we ordered came on time 930pm. We were all very hungry and we had dinner in the kitchen while Aqil was by himself at the living hall... The next thing we noticed when we took a peek at him, he was sitted up as his original position was on his tummy...

Today is a history for Aqil, to doing the sitting all by himself.

Thank you God for your blessings. Please make my children as perfect as they can be. Amin.

Kinder's excursion

(Adriana with Adleena's class behind her)

11 April 2008 - Saturday:
Adleena & her school had an outing to Tugu Negara, Deer Park and Lake Garden. I decided to bring Adriana to the places the sister was going. We left Aqil with Nya-i then we started our journey that morning. Adleena went on the bus the school had provided and I took Adriana in my car.

It was a fun day. I can see my girls were so happy to be out. Adriana behaved really well. I never regreted to have brought her there. Of course all the time she would ask for kakak.. where is kakak..

The very last venue for the excursion was the children's playground at the Lake Garden. It was getting really hot coz it was approaching mid day. But the kids were like running in heaven. Didnt care about the hot sun... they were having so much fun in the playground. Until 1230pm that those teachers started to gather all the children to prepare them to go on the bus. That was where my challenge arrived. I had parked my car at the Birds' Park which is about a kilometer away on a not level ground... that means we need to walk pass the garden which was hilly...
And Adriana was very tired, exhausted, thirsty and sleepy.. I had to carry on her all the way to the car. She also felt asleep on my shoulder. Goodness, where did I get that strength to carry my dearest 14kg Adriana... however I managed!
I never regreted it.. coz it was fun to see my girls had fun.

We then followed Adleena's bus to McD Jalan Pahang. Adriana was too exhausted that it was difficult to wake her up. Finally she did, without being cranky. We reached home at 2pm. Wonderful!

Aqil..my dearest & the 9th of 1st April

I've not been good in updating my own blog. I always have the intention to write at least a little a day.. always, time is always jealous of my attention.

Today, the 9th anniversary of having to wear a wedding ring given by my dearest, 'irreplaceable' Zaharin. Besides the happiness all throughout of having him by my side in all events... 360 degree situations.. we are blessed with three wonderful children that really bring infinite bundles of joy into our lives.

Also today, I made appointments with doctors for Aqil.. to get his ears and eyes checked.
Stepping into APSH this morning, I felt very very sad. Last few days, on 26 March we were shaken and shocked by the news that my children's paed, Dr Haliza was found dead over a hiking incident in Melawati after reported missing the day before by her husband. I am still very much affected by the news of her death. I felt so attached to her after she treated Adriana when Adriana repeatitively admit to the hospital for bronchiolitis and bronchitis. Then, came Aqil Mustaqim... for whom she had helped through the early days in detecting Aqil's intellectual disability diagnosed at birth. I felt connected to her, it is a total lost for me.

Anyway, today... 1st April 2009, Dr. Rozita diagnosed that Aqil's eye sight was just superb. Alhamdulillah... syukur ke hadrat Allah, wahai anak ku... tiada lain yang ibu pinta selain kesempurnaan semua deriamu sayangku.

Next, Dr. Aminudin... wonderful doctor at first visit. He looks very passionate with children and about the medical concerns that I myself know little about. Despite the crowd waiting for his attention was building outside his office - yet he spent time explaining about ENT and Down Syndrome. He needed further test on Aqil's ears. Aqil shall need to wait till he past the age of one for further test to be done. I need to make lots of research on this, to make sure what we are doing for Aqil is right and the moment is just fine. I need to do homework in talking to other parents who had experienced such situation in their wonderful children.

I have a lot more to write.... I hope I would be able to find the time to do so later..

Aqil.. we will do our best.. to our upmost ability for you my dearest.

Abang... happy anniversary darling... Sayang would not replace you with any other.. you are my ultimate till the world comes apart.
