Quality Time


It's been more than a month I am not posting my blog. Now I have more activity beside parenting. My school, where I live in, ask me to teach English class. Finally, I accept their request. It's only once a week, every Tuesday in the morning for 2 hours. Before, I always refuse because of Norman. I couldn't leave him, he's still to young for me at the time therefore I make him as a priority.
He is growing now and of course, can talk and express what he wants or feels. Also, I can leave him for around 2-3 hours to someone else without feeling worry. Now my challenge is how to make a quality time for him in this age. Norman is 20 months, so almost 2. This is time for him to learn about many things. He likes imitating words and act. For me this age is a crucial age to put a basic for him. I teach him how to pray, love books, know what to do and not, time to sleep and play, etc. Even though I have another responsibility but Norman is still a priority.
I've noticed that I become more understand Norman. It's good for both of us, especially me. He really love to play. He always says "more" in Bahasa if he likes it and in the middle of his mom and dad on the bed. Sometimes he falls a sleep while we are talking in the bedroom. I can see how he feels comfortable if his parents are around him. I want to use this time before it's gone. Before I realize, he will be changed and become a boy and then a teenage and everything will not be the same.
