My Bedtime Story.

Min Mohd

This bedtime story reminds us that Allah helps the believers in wonderful days. He hears the prayers of His servants, even if what they want seems impossible. Good night and sweet dreams my love!

As I was thinking what to write in this post I asked him if he still remember the last bedtime story I read for him.

"It's been a long time, Mommy. Mana lah ingat..."

Ye lah...benda baik yang Mommy buat memang susah nak ingat kan? (teasing him)

"Why did you say that Mommy, why would you say something like that?" (sound worried) 

Nothing, just testing you...

(p a u s e)

"Ingat lah.. It was Charlotte's Web"

You were 9, you still remember?

"Am also testing you, mommy. Reversed psychology..." (senyum sambil angkat kening)

Amboi!

Isnin 10.30 malam.

“ Irfan, tidurlah ye. Lambat sangat dah ni. Esok Irfan ada math exam kan? ”
“ Tapi Irfan ada mission belum selesai, Mama.”
“ Mission apa? Tidurlah dulu. Esok pagi-pagi Irfan bangun, buat mission tu ok?”
“ Tapi Irfan tinggal 2 mukasurat je Surah Ibrahim nak habiskan. Irfan nak habiskan jugak hari ni. Mission Irfan, esok nak start baca surah baru. Mama rasa boleh ke tak Irfan baca satu surah satu hari?”
“ InsyaAllah boleh, kalau Irfan rajin membaca.”

Lalu kamu pun mencapai Al-Quran atas meja sebelah katil dan menyambung kaji yang kamu baca selepas maghrib tadi; 2 mukasurat terakhir surah Ibrahim. Setelah selesai, kamu baring lalu tidur nyenyak sekali.

It was a very beautiful bedtime story I have ever heard, son. Indeed it was.

What a challenging week for ibu. Faith was hospitalised for three nights. Alhamdulillah, everything is okay now and we are back at home.

Reading to you at bedtime is my favourite activity. Sometimes, you would be the one reading. Which I love. 

This week has been a roller coaster ride for me though. When it was time for us to sleep, instead of reading, we talked. Heavy issues. Every single day. After such a serious talk, often, you felt like putting yourself to sleep with a feel-good element, and I encouraged that. 

Oh, you were also affected by mommy's non-existent mood to read. Therefore, you chose an unconventional bedtime story. Movie. 

Thank you for the courage, Private. Thank you for the hope, Hiro. Thank you for the positivity, Paddington.

What happen when we bring our (new) favourite bedtime story to the park?

It was a little awkward at the beginning (I think the last time we had this you were still very little, and not that we did this often),  but once the girls got hooked to the book, voilà! They can't wait to exchange books to read more!  What a beautiful way to start our fun time at the park :)

Adik wanted to follow, but she had school.

I promise we'll do this again, in shaa Allah. And next time we'll bring picnic mat, snugly pillows, throw blankets and of course food + drinks.  I can imagine how cosy it will be!

Picnic + books + play can never go wrong, don't you think?
