The Kelakar-ness of Alya (or How My Daughter Makes Me Laugh)

  • She excitedly jumps around when we undress her for a bath, but as soon as she’s in the bathroom she will insist “Dah! Dah! Dah!” even though not a drop of water has touched her.

  • The words “Kakak, jom jalan-jalan” reduces my daughter into a bouncy, giggly energy ball.

  • She gets impatient if we’re too slow getting ready or loading up the car before going jalan-jalan.

  • She greets my dad at the door by pointing to her shoes, then pointing to the garden and saying “Tok! Kong!”

  • When I see Alya and Dan-Dan side-by-side, I think Little & Large. (No points for guessing who’s Little and who’s Large)

  • Her best friend is Benny the Yellow Bunny. She smooches him every so often with a “Mwah mwah” and drags him everywhere by the ear, so much so that Benny has gone anorexic and kepam. (Chase & Helic, I need a backup bunny!!)

  • If you ask her for the time, she’ll show you her wristwatch if she’s wearing it. If not, she’ll point to her wrist, shake her head and say “Lang…”

  • She knows the word ‘Kemas’ means to tidy up – usually by throwing her toys in the basket or pushing the feeding chair back into the corner.

  • She plays the concerned sister occasionally and checks up on her lil brother by peering into the cot and calling his name.

  • If you bagi salam, she replies with a “..Lam!”. Usually without even looking up from whatever it is she’s doing.

  • She’ll call out “Abang” and grin at anybody passing by, much to K’s annoyance.

  • If she’s eating, she’ll go “Mmmmmm, dap!” while rubbing her tummy.
I greatly fear we are raising a little drama queen..


*What about Aidan’s list, you ask? Well, seeing he’s only about 2.5 months and doesn’t really do much, it’d be a very short list. Maybe by this time next year..
