| FIRST TIMER |

6 years ago...

With the arrival of Lil' Junior, I became a Mother.

With his presence, I learn to be more responsible.

With him, I learn to be selfless.

With him, there's a new Me.

With him, I learn to love more than what I am willing to give.

With him, I learn about sacrifices.

With him, I am more than a Mom.

I would do anything for him from the day he came.

This year, since he's graduating from CC, he asked to make a grand birthday party for him and invite his friends. Told him its okay if his friends did not turn up eventhough he has invited them because they're all still too young to be attending parties - Hehehe - 1 of them did turn up though. But thank you to all who came for him and his big day making it a proper Birthday Party unlike previous years.

For 2 years, he's been following me to setup other children's events/parties and this year, he requested for a simple birthday setup with many balloons and Superhero theme so here you go. And my boys are the reason I started The Wedding by NAWF too if you haven't notice.

The time when he requested to visit the Zoo AGAIN within 2 months since the last visit and we went because its more fun there than anywhere else for him.

Christmas last year, he wanted to play snow after reading a Christmas book I got for him and Snow City we went. He's such a gem to understand that we do not have real Snow here in Singapore and one of my bucket list is to be able to bring them all for real Snow play one day. In Shaa Allah.

Every school activity or trip, I'll definitely make time to attend so that he wouldn't feel left out and this trip to Garden's by The Bay was my first too!

Attended his first ever Halloween event after

2 years of pestering me and he won BEST DRESSED too!

I was willing to dress up as an ugly Nun for him during Halloween guys!

Walking all around the neighbourhood and SHOPPING MALL

frightening the neighbours in the process unintentionally.

Though I was TIRED and just got back home from work.

(NUN WEARING SLIPPERS GUYS!)

---

With him, everything was FIRST!

Because of him, everything is worth it.

Fast forward, 6 years later, it still feels so surreal that my little boy is now going on to another phase of his life - PRIMARY SCHOOL.

My boy may not know sight words but he sure have good memory.

Read and teach him once, he can remember it easily.

My boy may not be well-behave, but he's smart and his sense of patience towards anything he does, man I am so proud of him.

Here he's been patiently looking through the instruction booklet and arrange his new Lego as per shown.

He may not be the good boy, but I am very proud to say his love and care for the people around him, he's willing to take a bullet for them.

ESPECIALLY HIS SIBLINGS!

He may not be fast, but he's neat and well-taken care of.

No one's 100% perfect - He's got his flaws and I accept him because he's got me.

So today, I totally forgot that its RESULT DAY for Phase 2C - primary school.

Happily sent all of them to school and got an SMS from MOE. I was like, what else is this?

Opened it and I glanced through it reading, then I cried.

YES!

This fierce lioness Mummy cried in the middle of the road - literally I am in the carpark - because I am sentimental like that.

ALHAMDULILLAH

He secured a place in a Primary School and I couldn't stop thanking Allah for the result because I now do not have to search for another school and its gonna be easy for the other 3 boys too in following years.

Though its not his choice of school - he wanted A but I got him in B because of timing clash plus I don't need to rush from current school to new school after work, explained to him why I got him in B too before applying and he was okay with it.

So many things in my mind right now like ---

Will he survive this phase?

Will he adapt quickly?

Will he be okay?

Are the teachers gonna be soft on him during the first few months while adapting?

Will he get bullied?

Will he this and that....

So many doubts!

But I have 4 months to prepare myself mentally for him.

I wish I have had spent more time with him for the past 6 years but I know I can do it now because he's forever my clingy baby.

May all the other parents have a smooth journey with me and their Snake babies!

And have a long happy weekend everyone!

Love
