They Might Be Curly Giants!

We spent the afternoon with my family at my grandma’s place where Ayeed got reacquainted with his cousin, Zafyra, who is a couple of months younger than him.

We arrived when both of them were napping - Zafyra was already spaced out on the mattress, while Ayeed fell asleep in the cab on the way there. He woke up in a daze, wondering where this strange place was (it’s been many weeks since we visited my grandma), and he was all clingy with Trin and bug-eyed, looking at everyone and everything between sobbing and general crankiness.

He soon warmed up to people enough not to bawl and was able to show off his cute antics, much to the delight of his nannies and uncles and aunties.

Ayeed and Zafyra looked at each other as though each was wondering why there’s another tiny person in this world other than them. Most of the time they had to be forced to acknowledge each other and say hi. The rest of the time, they did their own thing.

Or they were entertained by their superstar Nanny Bah, although they didn’t always appreciate her brand of humour, choosing instead to cry their disapproval. But occasionally, they both agreed that Nanny Bah was funny.

The excitement of meeting so many people and the interrupted nap time took it’s toll on Ayeed and he turned into Ultracranky Ayeed.

And where was Ajab? He was in a world of his own, roaming the whole house, opening cupboards, playing, watching TV, constantly on the move, even when he was asked to eat. Hyperactive!!

Note: no caffeine in the form of coffee or cola was given at any time to the toddler giant to induce this hyperactive behaviour.

Or it could have been the marble cake! Oh well ….. till we meet again, Zafyra!
