Lil Farihin

I always think it is hard to educate your children with daily practical life. I mean not that it's the hardest thing in the world since kids usually take orders and execute them as long as it simple or understandable. This is because most kids have their own resistance. However, if you have this faith that your children will obey your instruction particularly, the result is unbelievable.

I have one boy previously, until it become two now. This lil Farihin is really turning my life into a new level since he was born 5 yrs ago. I didn't have an experience handling lil boy since I am the youngest daughter in family though I have 2 brothers after me. It's always a privilege to me since I have 4 big sisters to handle those kind of responsibilities. Surely, I was not a spoil kid either. So, when Farihin appeared in our life ~ I took the challenge to prove that I'm qualified to be a good mother. I did. I also did few mistakes during his upbringing that most parent sometimes do. Please don't count on scolding & yelling part. Also, the part of me splurging him with toys & clothes. :-)

5 years... I can see now that part of my way of teaching has shown the result. A positive one, I guess. I don't want to elaborate those good things we see in him. Things that I only want to share with my husband. It's our blend recipe of education, not an academic one but with hope this lil Farihin will bring the manner through his life forever.

Last night, this lazy mummy didn't cook. A usual excuse, tired & rushing.So, husband went to buy 'lauk' on his way back home. Lil Farihin was super hungry and asked dinner. I always ask him whether he preferred to eat on his own or mummy to feed him. He said he wanted to have meal by himself. Alright... He managed to finish 2 plates & I was not surprised by his appetite recently. Good one. I dozed off and slept early, not knowing what happen next. This morning, when I woke up and the thought of cleaning the sink suddenly pop up, search for Farihin's plate had came to my mind. I used to remind him, put the plate in the sink after he's done with eating. There were 3 dirty plates in the sink, neither belong to Farihin. I couldn't find it everywhere. I was curious. Where the hell this kid threw his plate? To my surprise, I saw his. On the plate rack. Clean. OMG...I feel moved. He washed his own plate (I verified this with hubby, in case he's the one doing that). Yes, Farihin washed his own plate... :-) I think that's so sweet for a 5 yrs boy. I never ask him to do it. Never at once. He did on his own willing.

Maybe people think I'm overreact but hey, this is my kid and I'm extremely happy to know what he can do. Trust me, he pleased me so much that today is the best day in January 2011.
