Kojiq is a 5 years old kid with a 10 years old body size. Well, at least that's the size of clothes he's wearing la *sigh*. The thing about kids with communication problem is that they may not be much aware of their body functions, so they don't really know when to stop eating. But then, actually this is not exclusively their problem only la. Kita sendiri pun kekadang dah kenyang, tapi masih nak melantak lagi kan... hehehe :-)
Kojiq started out as a very very picky eater. Dulu cuma nak makan bubur kosong saja. Kalau ada secebis pun bawang goreng ke ikan ke dalam bubur tu, dia takkan makan. But the therapist taught us how to introduce new foods to him, and it works so well, now we can't get him to stop! Haila!
Now he eats a variety of foods, and he likes hot stuff. Makan nasi, selalu nak ada sambal. Oh, dia sebut 'sum-bel' (huh?). Tekak melayu okkay :-) Problem is, he's OK with carbs and animal proteins, tapi taknak makan sayur, sebab tu ler gemuk kot!
But I guess, masalah anak taknak makan sayur ni, biasalah kot? He loves Subway sandwiches, and that's the only time yang dia akan makan sayur 'coz Mama dia doesn't let him pick out the veggies from the sandwich. Lagi satu, fruits pun dia tak suka, kecuali oranges.
Camana nak tarik minat dia makan sayur and fruits ye, any tips?

He Really IS Spelling!
Wow, lama sungguh aku tak apdet blog ni... kebizian melampau uols...
OK sah, memang Kojiq dah mula kenal huruf dan belajar mengeja. It's really good to watch him sit at his little desk, flipping over pages of his ABC book and spell some words. I haven't been in touch with the kiddies world lately (I don't have kids of my own) so I don't know the current syllabus used.
If I remember correctly, in kindy, we were made to memorize the letters ABC, thereafter baru start spelling. And there's confusion all around for us bilingual kids, because the same spelling words will always sound and mean differently in Bahasa Melayu and in English. Can you paint your house using a feline? The simplest word - CAT- is already confusing mah!
Anyhow, Kojiq is spelling most words phonetically (eh betul ke ayat ni? Aku main blasah je hehehe). That's how khinzir is spelt 'pi-ah-gi' and not 'pi-ai-ji'. So as Kojiq goes through his books, we can hear him say 'keh-eh-ti', 'keh-oh-wa' and 'gi-oh-ah-ti'. Ada paham ka incik? That's cat, cow and goat la :-)
But occassionally he forgets some letters, or rather, dia malas nak pikir, dia mula la melalut. Atau mungkin ke dia sengaja sebut melalut to entertain himself? We don't know, but it's so darn funny. Kitorang gelak golek-golek bila dengar dia eja 'cow' cegini : keh-'oh-o-yo'-'mm-hmm'. Adeh laa.... mana plak datang 'oh-o-yo' ni??? Pastu dia punya 'mm-hmm' tu bunyik cam hero hindustan hahaha :-))
