it was the first day of school yesterday. as for aidan, it was his third year..but for aimar, it was his first. he was ecstatic. they both went to the same kindy. as this kindergarten is a franchised, i could cancel the bag, shoe and sock adn even the stationeries from my shopping list. i 'have' to buy what they have for to offer for the kids. hence, the 'mood' of buying new bags, the school shoes and socks were not to be felt by the boys. by right, i shouldn't have to worry about the stationeries too... somehow, my boys didn't care much when i was excitedly asking them what character do they want for their pencil case, which at the end, i settled in chosing kamen rider for them... it's true, having two boys are boring when it come to shopping list! no matter how creative a mother could be, the shopping will always be a boring one.. and expensive too!...
anyhow, yesterday, as i woke up as early as possible, aimar was also awake. i did asked him to go back to sleep, but he refused. he asked if he could get dressed for school, and it was two hours away. must be the adrenalin boost. aidan was still asleep. i got aimar dressed as per his request. and then, aidan... somehow, i wished i could do that every morning. i, deep inside, do miss preparing those boys, getting them ready for the day. since i was back here, i couldn't find time to do so. it would be too early for them if i were to get them ready, and i don't really have the heart to disturbed their sweet sleeps. hence, most of the time, either atuk or aboh will prep them in the morning. i always knew i do miss the intimacy and moment giving them morning bath, forcing them to brush their own teeth, wrap the towel around them, dress them up.. i won't be doing that when they are older, and regretfully now, even when they still need my handy help, i couldn't do that for them. it is a sad fact.
well, i drove them to school, being it the first day. poor hubby of mine is still on his way back, and hence couldn't be there, the first day..but we've already booked his leave for next year as it's gonna be aidan's big year.. the primary..
on the way to school, aimar asked me if i were to bring everybody to his schools' concert, that would normally be at the end of this year.. this kid, he had all planned out - his schoolyears...
aidan was being a good taiko. nope, he didn't intend to stick by his adik, but he was there most of the time. i left them half and hour after the school starts..they seems fine. as i came back to pick them up, aimar was sitting by the stairs, listening to his teacher's order to sit, and i called upon him when he told me "i have to wait for abang"... cute..really cute.. abang got stucked with being the six years old class, and they were the last to come down. i was too excited to ask aimar his first day of school, as i forgot about aidan. somehow, aidan was telling me he was doing fine being the senior. aimar, still in the school mood, and he's looking forward for the school day tomorrow.
i left them undone this morning. with a kiss, sweet tender kiss. i'm gonna miss them while i'm gone. they won't, i'm sure.. but, when the call upon "mama dah balik" with that sweet smiles on their happy faces, i know i will miss them again tomorrow and the day after..
they grow up fast!
