Pooback

Nasri was at the dressing table last night playing with the bottles of perfumes. As usual he made a mess, and so I came in, hands on my hips mocking a glare on my face.

When he saw me he knew he was in trouble. So he stood there, eyes wide and looked at me. He then said "POOBACK"; and immediately started placing the bottles back in place on the dresser.

Yup, he knew what I was going to say - "PUT IT BACK" - which, in his version is - "POOBACK".

Another first for him, and in this case two words!!

Tak jadi nak marah. *smiles*

Habis

It was the end of his weekly session with his speech therapist. He was smiling and slipping on his shoes having had a great time at the session.

Then, it happened.

He looked at me and then at Carmen, the therapist, and said; "Haaabis"; telling us that the session was over. Without being prompted, without us having to signal. A nice, clear "Habis" followed by a huge smile on his face.

Surely, not many will understand how great this is for us. That my son, nearing the age of 5 could actually say one simple no brainer word on his own. But for us, who went through years of therapy and so many physical and emotional hurdles - this is HUGE!

He made me so proud today, that nothing shall spoil my mood - not even the long evening planned for hard negotiations with my Clients and that I just had to update this blog to share it with the world!!

There is hope afterall. My little one has so much to teach me and I guess he's telling me to keep marching on, keep giving love without limits and have faith in him. Who knows what the future will bring, yes?
