Happy 3rd Birthday, Baby

Yes.

He's still my baby. 

It's only the third year, but I'm already  running out of things to write! Macam mana ni?

Alright, let's start with what he can do at 3 years old:

• He can ride his balance bike on his own. Totally balanced. Siap boleh angkat both legs off the ground and not fall. Huiyo. I could only ride the bike without supporting wheels when I was 10. Yep, I wasnt born to be an athlete.
• Is seriously talkative. He can talk like an adult, that's why it is really fun talking to him. And the stuff he says nowadays are totally random. "Kimi baik, Kimi bukan girl!" Eh? Who has been feeding funny ideas to you baby? Or try this: Ayah: "Kimi, kakak sofiana buat apa?" Kimi: "Sapu sampah". Ayah: "Mommy?" Kimi: "Mommy tido!". Argh!!!
• He can pronounce L clearly but fails at S, F, H ("eh"), C ("ci"), K ("tay").
• Eats like an Italian. Spaghetti aglio olio. Blegh. No yummy, spicy melayu food. Apa ni Hakimi???
• Can concentrate for as long as you take to blink an eye.  
• Can be a safety freak sometimes. Will insist everyone to buckle up in the car. He will not stop reminding you until you do. Will always remind us to drive slowly. "Ayah, jangan bawak kerete laju-laju nanti polis saman!"
• Knows the concept of saving. 
• Loves reading. 
• Loves to cook and bake. He can name you the ingredients for a cake, one or two if not all. He knows you need butter and eggs to make cakes and muffins. =)
• He loves, loves, LOVES cakes. All kinds, all flavors.
• He loves cheese too. He can eat 3 pieces at once. 
• Is on his way to becoming a domestic god just like his ayah. Boleh harap lah if you need an extra pair of hands. He helped ach clean after we mowed the lawn. He helped mop the floor too. 
• No longer wants to eat at his high chair but instead, he will stack 5 stools and climbs up. 
• He hates durian. Yeay!
• He wants a baby brother. I'm not sure if he knows what it really means to have a baby brother, but he keeps saying, "Mommy, nanti kita pegi Disneyland dengan baby boleh?". I know, I wanna give you that baby brother too, honey. Next year, insyaAllah.

Okay that's enough. I can fill the whole page if I continued typing. You get the idea, Hakimi is all grown up. We're sending him to the kindy next year. Aih, time flies. 

At least now he still needs me to sleep, although all i needed to do is sit on the bed with him until he falls asleep. I used to sleep with him on his bed tapi Ach tak bagi dah... I wonder why.

I'm happy that he still needs me, and he would continue needing me until at least 10 more years. After that, kissing mommy before sleep is an embarrassment. Oh well. I would still love him anyways. Before he reaches ten, I'm going to kiss him good night every single night. 

Hakimi baby, for the gazillionth time, Mommy loves you very, very,very much. Mommy sayang Kimi. Sayang sangat. 

Happy 3rd Birthday sayang. Please be a good person. Make me proud of you baby.

Much love.
