To my beloved son Aydin: The broken 2015 promise

This post was is written 2 weeks after we celebrate 2016. That's mean I broke my promise to write you live updates on 2015 (in 2015 itself). Haha.. that means I have to work hard this 2016 to finish all 2015 stories and start to update 2016 in 2016 itself.

2015 is quiet a fun but also most challenging year especially for me. Things changes drastically towards end of the year as I lost my 10 years jobs and that's mean that our family lost our only income. You were the only one who is happy as finally Mommy can be with you at least 20 hours a day. Haha. Maybe I will write more about this in future but for now, I will write on the general family things

We start the 2015 moderately. Nothing much happen in the first 3 months. I will write about general and family stories in this update and will write more on your school in next update.

You were admitted to nearby hospital in February this year due to lung infection. Columbia Hospital was our home for 5 days. I took a long leave to company you. Even though it's not a life and death experience but it is a stressful experience for each of us. Seeing you with the IV line so heart breaking. You cried everything nurse put the medicines thru i.v line. It's painful even for an adult. Since nenek is staying with us, ayah and mommy took turn to company you at night. Until now, you had phobia whenever I mentioned about hospital. Who don't right?

A worried face

Nothing much happen in March except a short trip to Legoland. You still scared to try their theme park though. But we were happy when you request to ride the toy car this time. A big achievement.

My future driver

Then April came. April (and November) was most favorable month for us for 2015. You, Aunty and Mommy travel to Europe together. Ayah didn't join us as this is supposed to be girls trip. Our first time traveling experience without ayah. There will be a special update on that :)

Sibling moment - May 2015

Indoor playground visit ; May 2015

We spend hari raya in KT this year in July. Was a different experience as we stay in hotel during raya. Nenek's place has been demolished to give way for new highway and uncle mat's and family are renting a small house while waiting their own house constructed. So, we decided not to disturb Uncle Mat's family during raya and we book hotel during festival time. Even though we stay at hotel but we still spent lots of time with mommy's side. We went to Uncle Mat's few times a day including to play bunga api. The only thing that we missed was no big family photo this year. Our small family photo also taken in hotel.. not so nice experience but no complain about it.

Not easy to take photo of you nowadays.. lots of drama

While the parents were busy we-fie, the son strayed.. kind of sad huh

Maybe this is almost a perfect family photo.. after so many attempts

This so normal :) - the purposely eyes closing action

when you were cooperative

Putrajaya

Out of sudden, you request to have a bicycle in August, so we eagerly bought you one. All this while, you always turn down our offer to buy you bicycle.

Your very first ride - 22.08.2015. Not very well equipped and we regret it almost instantly

You grown up too fast. Sob sob

Happy face..

before the fall

The first fall.. that's why I mention that we regret that you were not fully equipped

Slowly we equipped you and we change the venue to a safer place. Usually, we went to Putrajaya as it has an even surface and kids love the Putrajaya Square so much. You got better each time we went for bicycle ride. We hope to convert to wheel to 2 wheel soon but due to bad weather (Haze), the progress were so slow.

In September, We celebrate Hari Raya Haji. The Raya was celebrate at Opah's this time.

Family - aunties, uncle and cousins

Finally, you turned 5 on Dec 21st. Your birthday was celebrated differently this time where we celebrate it with the other Aydins. I ordered a very special cake and everybody love it. You almost refused to blow the birthday cake and it takes lots of effort and lots of impatience usher from the other Aydins to get the cake blewed.
