Day 3. I thought Haiqal would not need me today. A call from Mekah last night with things to buy and my brother sadden by his cries on the phone had proven otherwise. So this morning, I did my aunty thing and drove dutifully to Mck Halimah's house. Haiqal called 8 times, 4 answered and 4 went to mailbox.
Today is outing day to Giant Mall and lunch with Huzaifi and Kina in tow. I had a good time, putting Haiqal in the shopping trolley and shopping for Hajar's ingrediants. He was well behaved. I bought sticker activity books for him, to introduce him to books and mental activities.
We came back to the house, after sticking 5 stickers, he pushed the book away. And shouted 'BOSAN LAH!!' Obviously he doesn't think much of books. Then I coaxed, encouraged and cajoled him. 5 more stickers stuck, this time with more thought. Eureka!!! I repeat, with more thought.
Then I told him I have to go home. He started a terrible, terrible tantrum that made Huzaifi cry. I hugged him from the back and Huzaifi hugged him from the front until he quietened. Goodness Gracious me, I hope I am doing the right thing. I thought of Anne Sullivan and prayed that I am doing it the right way. I am sure, if there is love, it won't go wrong. Would it?
I made Huzaifi and Kina make other words from the word encyclopedia and would pay 1 sen for each word. These two very cute children are cutting alot of classes, so the teacher in me has to give them some lessons. With good incentives.
Tonight I will do some homework on the net because I better equip myself with some knowledge, since being Aunty Cik does not seemed to be enough.
