Measle misery

Dear Amir,

You're down with measle now. That explains the fever you had early this week. It's terrible looking at you scratching your menggerutu face. But other than the scratching, you're such an angel. I was expecting major tantrum and whining. But all is good, alhamdulillah, you were just being yourself, just slightly extra clingy, wanting us to carry you here n there. You're also more selective, insisting on your fav ladies only ie Tok Ma, me and Che' Su (in that particular order...sigh) But that started a few weeks back even before you had fever, so i'm guessing it's just the separation anxiety phase kicking in.

Perhaps, the thing that upsets you he most now is not being able to go out much. Lately, you always insist on going out of the house. You will kick your feet while we're carrying you and point outside the house. You love being outdoors, especially at the playground in front of our house. It's becoming quite a task to drag you back in when you had your time outdoor. The other day, after our evening walk, you screamed & cry once you saw me approaching our house gate. That was followed by a rolling-on-the-floor act once we're inside the house. In the morning, when I carry you out the door you will clap happily but immediately cry when we go in the car (instead of go out of the gate).

You have also mastered a few other stuff - tearing off tissue from toilet roll to wipe the office desk (cute!), pushing away wateva blocking the door to shut the door, 'arranging' and 'rearranging' the cushion pillows on Tok Ma's sofa.. Never fail to entertain us.

Today, we went for a walk just in front of the gate. You're getting more comfortable walking now on a condition that we dont interfere. I guess I'll be missing the 'bertatih' phase cos you really dont want us to hold your hand when you walk.. So eksyen!

I hope you get well soon dear. I'll bring you for a walk around the playground again once you've recovered k and thank you for being such a good boy, even when you're under this condition.
You're one awesome champion!
