Ramadhan begins

Yesterday marked the first day of the blessed month of Ramadhan. How time flies! With my work load and time spent at work, i didn't realise how Ramadhan was fast approaching. I was and still am tired from work issues and pray that the holy month of Ramadhan would bring out the best in me... making me more patient and a better person both at work and home.

Both the kids were fasting. Riyan woke up at 5am for sahur and had quite a bit of food. Surprisingly he was not cranky and was actually wide awake! But that was because he realised that I was not beside him on the bed. Riyan fasted 1/2 day and broke his fast at Zohor prayer time. He did pretty well, noting that this year was his first. He told mak that he smelled food and couldn't resist anymore. ahahhahah....

Nurul on the other hand was her cranky self. Had difficulty waking up at 5am. Think i'll get her one of those breakfast-in-bed type of table. Something for her to look forward to using and hope to encourage her to wake up to use to 'excitedly'. She didn't manage to fast full day yesterday. Broke her fast at 3pm. But she'd extend by an hour as each day progresses to achieve a full day of fasting.

Sahur for both kids was accompanied by watching Martha Steward. It's a ritual. ahahhahaha...
