When Dinner Means Bathtime

Aisyah is a very independent baby; a trait that she possesses even when she was still in my tummy. For a start, her name had actually been decided by the little madamoiselle herself ok? I read a few list of names that I liked, and she didn't kick to any of them, until it reached what had become her full name now. Re-read the list, and no kicks until I read her name again. Kick kick. Ulang beberapa kali pon dpt result yg serupa. Very decisive.

Anyway, I believe this is a trait that she inherits from her Ayah, and also because a lot of the time we encourage her to be so. Example paling obvious is when we are eating. At age 8 months, she had already been feeding herself kiddy food, not the baby puree food anymore. She didn't like them, and her health visitor advised us to introduce her to real solid, bkn mashed, bkn porridge. And we did. And she ate. Plus suka la dia dpt main dgn sudu garpu apa semua.

Yes, Aisyah pandai mkn pakai sudu garpu dah, since I don't know when, much to the horror of my parents yg sesekali nmpk over our weekly video chat session hehe... But still with supervision la. It gives her the space she needs to explore the taste and texture of her food, an invaluable learning experience in itself.

Kecah mmg kecah la, x bole dinafikan. Kat atas tray, atas highchair, atas lantai, atas baju dia, atas lengan dia etc.. etc.. Aku dulu pon jenis panic2 gak kalo benda2 kotor dsb nya, tp Hubs is a very cool guy, he's like, "Kalo basah tukar, kalo kotor cuci, kalo sepah kemas." Sedikit demi sedikit aku pon jadi lebih loosen up sket, and dah x de la lg stress ke sesak2 dlm kepala bila tgk rumah tunggang terbalik dikerjakan Aisyah. The bonus point is that Aisyah sees us cleaning after, and she normally helps as well. Even babysitter dia pon mereport yg kalo dia di rumah sitter tuh, kalo dia amik sesuatu brg, lps tu mesti dia letak kat tempat tu balik. Alhamdulillah la kalo gitu...

Tp parents kena byk2 bersabar, kekadang ada je adegan spt di bawah ni. Ye, when dinner time equates to bath time. Kemain girang si Aisyah nih dpt main air. Kalo dah mcm ni mmg x leh buat apa la. Shower aje la jawab nya huhuhu. Siap la balik Msia aku bawak dia gi swimming pool. Heh.
