a mother instinct...

When Shahmey cried, I knew how to stop the cry. I told Kakak (Sophea) and Coan (Sobhan),

"Adik nak susu tu.." or

"Adik nak tidur tu.."

or

"Adik nak ummi.."

After a while, Kakak or Coan would always ask,

"Macam mana ummi tahu adik nak susu ke, nak tidur, nak ummi?" - of course it's only one at a time.

Then I usually answered,

"Ummi tahu la.. sebab ummi kan mak dia. Ummi yang lahirkan dia. Kan Shahmey tu anak ummi"

They never satisfied. They added,

"Ye la... Kakak/Coan tahu lah dia anak ummi. Tapi macam mana ummi tahu?"

Hmmm... I don't know what is the best answer but I just said,

"Sebab ummi tahu la..."

I knew its a mother instinct but how to tell them so that they can understand. An 8and a 6 year old would definetely ask some more questions that I may not be able to answer. Only times can help them to get the answer. I believe, as they grow older, all the questions will be answered by themselves.


Yes, a mother instinct. How wonderful it is to be a mother. I know when Kakak sucked her thumb means she is frustrated over something. Anyway, she sucked her thumb when she was sleeping. heheeee. But this time, I know she was very frustrated over her short hair (don't worry dear, it'll grow longer soon)





I know when Coan is ransacking my purse, she is looking for lipstick, compact powder or perfume. This girl really likes to make-up herself :). She likes to be pretty like a barbie doll. She cried a lot when abah cut her hair short... really short. Pity her. Are you a boy (that's what was asked by her classmate heheeee..)





And I also know when Shahmey shows me this look, it means, he wants to grab whatever I'm holding (well, of course I was holding a camera then heheee...)





Whatever it is, I love my kids so much. This picture was taken when the girls hair were not cut yet. Shahmey, no need for another picture coz' his hair seems not to grow at all heheeee..





Happy moment to me is when everyone in the family is smiling...
