ANOTHER FALL
Kesian my baby... yesterday nite fall again, tripping from a blanket in his brothers' room - gedebam !! aper lagi, nangis lah.... !
This time he really cried, wif tears trickling down his precious cheek !... try to soothe him - doesn't work..... then no choice - do what my mum used to do - cecahkan sikit guler at his mouth - lick, lick... then diam already...
It works !! ... hehehe...
He's so cute now, cos everytime he tripped into something (or pretent to trip), he'll try to get our attention. First he'll say "ooohhh.." then "eeeaahhhhh".... With the most pretentious face - looking at you, waiting..... - Action lebih !!
So, I'll come to him & say "oohhh, Umi hug.. Umi hug ok.... bossa, bossa (kiss,kiss) "... then he'll smile !
Last time, I used to beat the things that he tripped into - to divert his attention (like our mothers used to do lah... "jahat dier, bok !" & hit whatever - be it a table, chair, etc)...
Then I realised that he had started to imitate me & 'beat' everything that tripped him !
Am I teaching him how to be violent & blame others for his mistakes & falls ?
Mmmpphh... I think this is not so healthy, so must change 'tactic'....
So now when he falls, I said something like "next time, walk carefully ok, see this corner - u hv to..." or "oh.. the box is in your way izzit ? let Umi move this so u won't fall next time"...
then I goes like "ooohhh... pain izzit ? come Umi hug.... Bossa, bossa"...
Although half of the time the fall & the cry is pretend one lah... but it's fun to entertain him... so cute... so adorable...
But he will really cry if it's painful -- yep ! ..with tears & all..... then I know that I need to do something more.... pacify him & check if there's any wounds....
Don't worry baby... InsyaAllah, Umi will always be there for you....
I can't always be there to catch your fall - so, u hv to learn how get up yrself & soon, how to avoid the pits.
But when u do fall..... InsyaAllah, I'll be there to hug, kiss & nurse your wounds....
So don't be afraid to step out into this vast world .... for I'll be here & always praying for your safety.. May Allah protect us all always... forever, InsyaAllah....
...Ameen
