A Year Ago

Almost a year ago, Aisyah is considered as a very ‘small’ girl. She’s two years old, and as compared to other chubby toddlers and her very own plump mom especially, she appears to be very petite. People always frowned as they see us (the parents) holding Aisyah and gave this question “Is this you daughter?”, as if something is wrong in the picture (read: Parents are ‘big’ while daughter is ‘small’). But, for me, I think it is normal since her birthweight is only 2.45 kg. So, what do you expect? As long as she’s healthy and active, I’m more than thankful.But, after she got her kid brother Syazwan, her size increases rapidly and eventually most of her clothes ends up being too tight or too short for her. Bila balik Kelantan, everyone was like “Besarnya Aisyah, dulu kecik jer”. I think, when she got her baby brother, she spends a lot more time to drink her milk from the bottle whereas, before that she was being breastfed and didn’t really want to drink formula. So, I think she ends up drinking a lot of milk, much more than she required and therefore she turns out to be 'big'. Logik ker? Well, I dont know the exact reason how her size increases rapidly, but, to you people out there who are worried about your kids' size, think again. If they are active and healthy, dont worry, she'll grow up soon. If she is petite while you and ur partner are big, maybe she was meant to inherit that smaller frame from other relatives. So, dont worry. Be happy.
