Adam, you are 5..


Adam turned 5 two days ago..

He has shown good progress since his last birthday. He is showing deep interests in mathematics (certainly not from me) and can grasp the concept of numbers quite fast. He finds reading a chore (Mama is trying to encourage more, but I'm not going to force it on you Adam). He lovesss games. He has a soft heart. He is his father through and through.

One incident last year that really displayed his true quality could not be erased from my mind. We were at a carboot sale and I gave Adam 50pence to spend on anything he liked. So we walked and walked but nothing caught his attention. Suddenly Ammar saw a Thomas The Tank book and cried out "Thomas! Thomas!". Adam took the book and gave it to Ammar, saying "you want this Amai?" and gave a coin to the lady seller. The lady was touched that she praised Adam. I asked her how much was the book, and she looked in her hand and saw that Adam only gave her 10pence. She said, smiling "It's ok, he already paid" (although I thought the book should cost more because it was an interactive sound-book).

He did that without thinking or asking me. It was intuitive. He put his brother's need first before himself. Mama is so proud of you Adam.

With advancing age comes more responsibility. Adam gets some new toys, but also an added duty in the house. He now has to bring his own plate and bowl to the kitchen sink everytime he finishes eating. He accepted this new responsibility with a smile.

I got this idea of officially giving new responsibility on birthdays along with presents from the article Raising Children in Deen and Dunya.

For Adam's birthday, I made him a chocolate cake with coffeecream icing (nak jugak tunjuk tuu hehe)




I am Fiveee!
