Kimi sekarang has acquired the habit of reading a story book every night before he goes to sleep. Finally!!! After a year plus of me reading to the dinding and bantal, Kimi now will listen to the story I read to him from cover to cover. Yeay! And lagi best, he wont let me stop at one book. Usually he'll ask for 2-3 books sampai he gets tired and will sleep on his own.  Currently his fav book is "The Great Paper Caper" by Oliver Jeffers. It's about a bear who steals tree branches from the forest to make paper planes.

I guess my frustration was shown all over my face sebab kimi said again and again, " Sorry mommy, sorry mommy ". I was touched. The kid said sorry when i was the one who should apologize for not respecting his learning pace. I fought my tears back and said, " Don't be, it's not your fault. Not anybody's fault. We just have to work harder, alright? " I suppose my tone still sounded of frustration, because he replied, sorry mommy. One day we were bidding goodbye to his atok at kampung. Kimi refused to let go of his atok and kept crying, nak balik rumah atok! It was late on a sunday evening and we still hv to brace the 200 k...
