Poor baby

My little Professor, Rania, delivering a ceramah on my bed! 050211









For the first time after 9 and 1/2 months, Rania fell sick with fever, cold and blocked nose.Yesterday night was quite a tough night for me and Ika. She fretted and cried most time, being so uncomfortable breathing through her mouth. Justin is in Sydney attending a workshop. So Ika and I took turn to hold her when she screamed so loud at midnight and at the wee hours in the morning.
Last night, Ika slept with her alone in her room. I needed to make up for lost sleep but at 3 am I woke up and couldn't fall back to sleep. So I sat up typing the yearly report on the charity work done by the women's section of Ar Rahman mosque, next to my house in PJ. I didn't hear anything in Ika's room and felt relieved that Rania was able to sleep.
The next morning after subuh prayer, I slumbered off for an hour or so before Rania woke up. Later Ika told me that Rania was fretting the whole night and that she fell from Ika's bed to the hard marble floor. I was appalled. I feared this would happen if Rania is sleeping on the bed. She will roll herself everywhere on the bed.
She was crying and throwing tantrums this morning, refusing her milk and her food.I was worried. Finally Ika called and made an appointment with a doctor in Bangsar this afternoon. I pray Nia is OK and that her fever is just an ordinary cold and flu attack.
It was. So far, according to the doctor, Rania doesn't show any signs of problems and we pray she will be OK.
After talking to the doctor, Ika and I concluded that Rania caught the cold and running nose by going to the swimmimng pool in PD before CNY. There were many children and adults and the virus was in the air. I hope Nia will be OK soon.







Happy Rania tentatively feeling the pool water. 020211

No other people were around, I took Rania to play at the beach. With each wave hitting the shore, the sound startled Rania and she was quite frightened. As a reasult, at night she has nightmares and cried and clung at me or at her mom. Poor baby! Eventually she forgot the ordeal and returned to her normal behaviour enjoying water during her bath. 020211












To get Rania out of boredom being cooped up in thr house, we took her to Giant Kelana Jaya and put her in a trolley. She loved it and had her lunch there with her eyes absorbing all the goings on around her. 310111












Lovely!! Playing with sand is something new to Rania. Engrossed, looking and feeling the rough sand at PD lagoon. 010211













Caught in the act. Mischivious Rania. She tried to fool us by playing with the lid of her soiled nappy bin but in actual fact, she was aiming to play with the electric plug behind the bin.


This adorable 9 and 1/2 months old little bundle of joy brings so much sunshine and joy in the family. 300111
