Izzul went for his 5th month check up last Tuesday. He had a slight fever the day before. I was worrid that the nurse might push his immunisation to another day. Luckily Izzul bounced back the next day showing the nurse he was all well and ready for the needle.
When the needle went in his voluptuous thigh, his expression showed that he was ready to cry any minute. I quickly distracted him singing some ridiculous nursery rhyme. I don't even remember what I sang but I knew that it worked. He changed his mind about crying.
These days I have been quite busy with juggling work, maintaining the house chores ang spending quality time with our parents. But I am lucky in so many ways. Right now, Izzul is still small and I am happy that my transition of changing my career path has allowed me to spend more time with him. However not all contract teacher has the same workload as I do. My sister in law for instance. I have heard her complain of the heavy workload. By the way, both of us will be entering the teacher training course the same time. How coincidental.
But I know that I am not going to get lucky all the time, so I really appreciate the times that I have with Izzul now.
Oh I forgot to mention, Izzul Haq now weighs a healthy 8.2 kg!
