Hi! It is 25th Dec and we are on the Xmas break and enjoying it to the max mengalahkan orang yang sambut Xmas. I have been on leave since Saturday and will only be back to work on 2nd Jan! Bliss!
On Sunday we took the kids to our regular pool at POGH. Hey it is Rafa’s first time swimming! He uses Abang Miki’s old floaties, a swim diaper and Abang’s Miki old swimming shorts. Kesiannye laa semua second hand LOL!
Miki’s first time swimming was when he was 4 months old. We wanted to take Rafa to the pool when he was 4mo too but the weather doesn’t permit. Finally on Sunday it isn’t raining and although it is not sunny either but jadilahhh…
The water is chilly and wind is blowing but somehow we know Rafa would not mind! This baby loves water and his bath time so much since forever! Check out his expression the moment we float him on the water!
Happynyeee sampai terjelir-jelir! LOL
He doesn’t complain of the cold water, in fact Miki was so impressed when he paddles his tiny chubby feet just like a little swimmer. And all they way he is smiling and grinning his cheeky toothless grins.
Happy!
Rafa paddles kanan -kiri! Pandai and berani!
Mohammad, Nuh and Luth! Si abang adores his Adik to bits!
Rafa listening to Miki yang tengah kelentong apa tah dengan penuh kusyuk…
Happy lagi!
My kids!
This is almost dejavu to me. Just a few years ago we were here taking Miki for his first swim and now we are here again for his brother’s first time. Miki was rather scared and holding on to Daddy’s face while in the water. But Rafa is totally different. Rafa spend first 10 minutes paddling around and the last 5 licking the water. That’s when we pull him out if the pool. He already got water in his nose sampai merah-merah… water in his eyes and his mouth but he doesnt mind at all… Rafa oh Rafa…
But Miki at 5 years is brave enough to swim without his floaties in the grown up pool but of course we are not letting him lah! Below is Miki swooshing down the water slide all alone all by himself, he was so gayat of this thing couple of years ago…
He splashes down from the slide into the grown-up pool and starts swimming away. Pandai anak Mummy… dah besar sangat dah… It was such a joy bringing up Miki until he is what he is today. And with Rafa on board it just keeps getting better. We got a feeling that Rafa is more “hero” than his big brother.
At 5 months sometimes he cries for a bath just like we would cry for milk. He knows where the bathrooom is and would stop crying just as we open the door. Once we took a step into the bathroom he will start giggling happily. When we are removing his clothes, Rafa got the hint that he will be taking his bath already, if we wipe our wet hand on his face it just confirms his anticipation and he would grin tergedik-gedik happy giler nak mandi nih! Kelakar la Rafa!
At 5 months also he loves the out door and gets bored of the house. He would lifts both hands suruh dukung to anybody standing especially in front of the door. No holding him while sitting on the couch too! Too boring and Rafa would cry… Mengada kan? sabar jelah!
Mummy and Daddy and Abang Miki look forward to bringing you to our outdoor activities, Adik Rafa. You be good and stay healthy and strong ok! We love you!!
