Boo cheeka bum bum!!

I thought I'd write something about our hero boy, Zareef. He is growing really fast and is getting smarter every day. Recently, he is fond of babies & toddlers. Everytime he sees babies, he will play cak-cak with them, like with Ammar and Shania. Lately, he's been asking these kind of questions. The conversations usually go something like this...

Zareef : Mama, bila mama nak gemuk nih?
Mama : Kenapa pulak?
Zareef : Zareef nak baby baru lah...
Mama : Zara kan ada.. Zara pun Zareef tak jaga, asyik buli aje..
Zareef : Zara tak best.. Zareef dah boring ngan Zara..
Mama : Laa, nanti ada baby baru pun Zareef boring karang..
Zareef : Zareef nak baby cam Shania..
Zareef nak baby boy lah.. Nak bagi nama... hmmm.. Optimus Prime!
Mama : Kalau nak baby, tanya kat ayah.. (hehehe)

So cheeky lah that fella. Be patience Zareef.. the time for another brother or sister is not that soon.. if there is one :) But it is kind of sweet that he wants another brother or sister. Sometimes he even listened to my tummy and says that he can hear a baby inside. More incentive for us to have another one, perhaps? (*hint hint*)

Another story to tell is our conversations every time I am about to leave for office, every morning. Zareef is still very manja and sticky and mengada2. So, every morning, he wakes up crying for me and wants to hold my hand while I am preparing for work (even when applying make-up). Every morning, both Zareef and Zara will send me off to work. Yeah, usually it's 6 in the morning! I will bring them 'ikut sederhana', which is just driving them around the neighborhood for a while, then say our goodbyes.

So, every time, every day, the routine is:

1) Mama, jangan balik lambat tau.. Balik kol five ok.
2) Mama, jangan lupa beli something.
3) Mama, beli something tu love, hugs and kisses ok
4) Mama , I love you.. I miss you.. (Ni kadang2 je.. heheh)
5) Salam, hugs and kisses.. lots of it!

Now, to add to that list, he wants me to kiss him on his cheeks. Kiss lipstick, according to him, so that he can have my lipstick on his cheeks... hahaha.. It is a really a GREAT blessing to have the kids send me off every morning and greet me when I come home every day. I am really really thankful for this!

oh.. you may wonder about the title for this entry.. it's zareef's favorite word now. I dont know where he picked this up, but it literally means your **** and bum-bum. Zareef asked me this one day.. "Mama, budak kecik tak boleh tengok budak besar punyer boo cheeka bum bum kan?" Haiyo, so clever lah this boy!

Oh Zareef, my sweet boy... Can you just stay sweet like this and dont grow up? Yeah, he is still naughty and cheeky and grumpy at times, but I will always love this boy!
