Another January For Luqman :-)

Yesterday was Luqman's 3rd birthday. But I missed it, because I had to schedule my D&C procedure for my fourth pregnancy at 10 weeks in Bangi as soon as possible due to several reasons. Family and close friends know what's the whole course of events and I don't have the strength to retell the whole story over and over again. I cried only on the day I found out, first on the phone with a close friend in KL and once more in the car with another friend in SP. As another dear sister of mine in Melbourne said, "It wasn't meant to be". So it wasn't, I say, let's move on, then. I'm sure Allah has better plans ahead for me :-)

It had been 2 nights now I'm at my parents, and Luqman has been asking for me. My DH said Luqman was having sleepless nights these 2 nights, which was unlike him. This was not the first time I have been away from him for a couple of nights. Perhaps he can sense I'm having unrestless nights too. He is always very special to me for the strength he used to show me in his short life, right from the day he was born :-)

He has always been the 'geliga' one. Always having something up his sleeves. The more silent he is, the more curious we must be. My DH had to find the hard way that the rules which apply to his sister and brother, do not apply to him, haha... New or specialised disciplinary methods need to be 'invented' in order to avoid from his continual mischievous adventures :-p What made things more curious is that, his teachers will all report that he's the easiest boy to care for, doesn't make a lot fuss and all in all - a Very Nice Boy. Hahaha ... Surprise, surprise... Perhaps the need to compete for his sister's and brother's attention and his rights to play the same toys, had made him considered a different tact at home. Another weirdos, a brilliant one too :-)

Always fond of using his left hand but never forgetting his right, I just felt that he may ambidextrose. How interesting! He' s beginning to show his own character - most times now, his cheeky side. And his smiles has always been his best feature. Now that he's capable to communicate in full sentences, he'll start repeating some of the things we said to him. The best part about him is when he's frustrated of something, it doesn't take him long to bounce back and be happy again. Truly, he is a "happy go lucky" boy.

Nowadays, I used to call his name:

"Luqman"

And he'll reply:

"Apa mama?"

And I ask:

"Sayang mama banyak ke sikit?"

He'll always reply:

"Sayang banyak sikit"

I further ask:

"Betul?"

And he'll say:

"Betul, betul, betul"

Ahh...love you to bits my dear. Happy birthday. May you the best Mukmin for the rest of us, In Shaa Allah, Amin.
