I had just finish feeding Baby Z and was just cuddling and playing with her when Big Z came into the picture.
Big Z : hey Zayaan ... hey Zayaan Atiyaaaa ... is that Zayaan's name, Mummy?
Me : yea, that's her name .. her full name's Zayaan Atiya Izmet Iskandar ... what's YOUR full name?
Big Z : Muhammad Zarif Izmet Iskandar ... right, Mummy?
Me : yup
Big Z : ok, what's your full name, Mummy?
Me : it's Sabidatul Mrika Hajeedar
Big Z : (pauses and smiles with startled expression in his eyes) ... hey ... but that's Atok's name, Mummy!! (looking startled and smirking this time finding it hard to believe his mom) ... and it's your name too??!!
Me : (laughs with him) yes, Zarif, that's Mummy's name .. my full name .. my full name has Atok's name too coz he's my Daddy.
Big Z : (can't quite wipe the smirk off his face) ... sigh ... oh, okayyyy Mummy (still not able to believe his mom completely)
......................................
I guess for Big Z, there's only one Hajeedar .. that's his Atok. So to hear that his Mummy has his Atok's name in her full name was just that bit difficult to grasp. After a bit of staring into space and singing, he resorted to "OK Mummy ... i think i'm going to sleep now ... i'm going to have my Iggy Arbuckle dream now ... OK ... good night Mummy, love you Mummy". And off he went to bed. That was about a quarter to 9pm. By far, the earliest he's gone to sleep! Maybe if I 'shock' him with such facts each night, he'll sleep as early as before 9pm. Heheh ...

Kak Zie : i know!! turning 5 next month! how did that happen, kan? i still remember moving into this house when he was just 11 mths old. has it ben that many years dah?? and, i still remember too reading your FP when both Umar and Zarif were just 2 yrs old - both being fans of Thomas (which was what led me to your page btw ;-) heheh...).
