Another Weekend Together with My Nephew 💕

I missed my nephew and nieces so much. And it was such a surprise when I came home last Saturday, there they were, welcoming me in front of the house excitedly. "Ammah.. Ammah..." They called me loudly as if I couldn't hear them. 😅

I was fantastically happy seeing them, I entered the house and hugged them very tightly. But it was only my nieces. My nephew stayed inside the room. He was playing hard to get 😏 

He's that kind of kid. Sometimes, he's excited to meet me. Other times, he's pretending that nothing's happening 😴 

I will do the same too.. 😌 Sometimes, I will immediately hug and kiss him. But there are times that I will tease and annoy him first 😌

But you know, it's always him who will always stay in the house when his parents and siblings leave our house. It's always him who will beg to his dad to come home with me -- when I am in their house -- and have a sleepover at our home. 

We have a special bond. He's my second date after my little brother 😄 So, we had a fun date again this weekend haha, we had a great time together (again). 

After, his father and siblings left the house. He already had asked my dad to take him to the nearest shop to buy some snacks. Afterwards, I bathed him, fed him, and then, we had a nap. 🛌

In the late afternoon, we went outside to find something to eat. I was starving. I was kinda confused what should we eat. But then, we saw Pao bread. And omg, the Pao was delicious, the chocolate was melting. Unfortunately, I didn't take a pic of it. We bought also satay of shell as side dish that we ate with white rice and vegetables; that my mom cooked. And it was superb. We really enjoyed the food and ate a lot 😂

But, at night, he was hungry again 😅 maybe because after magrib, we went outside to fill up the gas of my motorbike. Then, we went wandering from one road to another. So, I asked my dad to buy him fried rice. In Indonesia, there's a saying, if you get hit by the wind from riding the motorbike, you will get hungry easily after it. 

        (We were taking a picture on the motorbike 😁)

Not a long from that, we went to bed. Yeah, we slept earlier. I told him that tomorrow we were gonna go for a walk. He was excited. 

I woke up early before fajr. I didn't expect that he woke up too. So he followed me to take wudhu. Then, we prayed fajr together. Afterwards, I slept back but he stayed awake watching Doraemon. 

He woke me up a few times since he couldn't wait to go outside. I just answered, "Just wait a little a while. It's still dark outside." Then I got back to sleep 😴🛌😂

Eventually, we went outside for a walk. We didn't go too far. But it was exciting. We talked about anything along the way. One thing that I love about our bonding. I can talk about anything to my nephew and I feel that he understands what I say. It's like talking to my best friend. We've been doing the talk since he was four. He's a such good listener. ✨

I took pictures of him when he was kicking something on the road. And the photos looked so natural. I captured the pictures in the good shot. 

We stopped by the shop and bought some food. When we arrived at home, I cooked our breakfast. It was noodles and eggs. Haha do not get shocked, in Indonesia we breakfast noodles --with or without eggs-- and white rice. So, it's something common. The noodles with broth was kinda spicy. But, he's already able to handle spiciness. Also, in Indonesia, it's an achievement if a kid is finally able to eat spicy. Weird huh? But yeah it is what it is 😅 

I spoon-fed my nephew when I was eating too. I don't know why, he actually can eat by himself. But, I just want to spoil him. It's one of my favorite things when I am with him. I am so happy if I know that he eats well. 

Theeeeen, this was the most exciting moment we did together. It was when we washed my motorbike 😆🛵 He really gladly helped me doing some chores at home. Before, he helped to fold the clothes. Now, he was feeling so fun playing and working with water. 🌊 He even really enjoyed cleaning the mess after washing the motorbike was finished. I praised him in front of my mom, "He's such a nice kid. He has helped me a lot." I said that when I was doing the laundry outside of the house and my mom was cooking in the kitchen and he was just sitting there watching me. 😁

Before he was just sitting there watching me, I'd bathed him after he got so wet from washing the motorbike. I know that he can take a shower by himself too. But, again I just want to spoil him. Before I can't do those things anymore. 

Andddd one thing that I love the most after bathing him. After I dry his body with towel, I will apply some oil and baby powder all over his body. And it will be the best scent ever and I will kiss him as much I want 😆🤣 It's like the compensation of me bathing him. Because you know, it's not always easy to bath him. He's an active kid. He jumps around and does all sorts of things in the bathroom and it makes me overwhelmed. So, kissing him repeatedly at one time is my revenge 😏😁🤍 and I know he loves it. We will fight after it with pillows or tickles. 😌

(This is eucalyptus oil and the baby powder. Perfect combination!)

My chores in that morning were not finished yet. My nephew was suddenly quiet. And turned out, he was so sleepy. Yeah, he was tired after doing a lot of things, waking up so early, walking, washing motorbike and watching me do the laundry 😂 So, I let him asleep peacefully while I was cleaning the house.  

Woooohhh, it' already a very long story, although we still had other things that we did before he went back home. So, I am just gonna finish the story. 

Well, he slept very long during that day. When actually, I couldn't wait to feed him with the best cooking in the world; my mom's cooking. She cooked shrimp soup and bakwan. I definitely fed my nephew a lot and felt happily satisfied. 

And the coming home time had arrived, my little brother was gonna escort him home. And this was the hardest moment;when we were gonna say goodbye. 

In my room, I asked him to hug me. We hugged quite long and tightly. I asked him, "Will you miss me? 'Cause I will miss you so much." He answered, "Yes, I will". I know he was sad to leave. He kept saying repeatedly, "Bye, bye, Ammah.. Bye, bye grandma. I will come again later." 

It was such a wonderful weekend with him. He's made me to be a good aunty and he's been a wholesome nephew too. And we've created good memories in each heart. 

🌸🌸 And in the future, I want him to read this, to make him know more, how much I love him 🌸🌸
