THE 3RD CUTE SON, RYAN (PART 3)

His full-name is RYAN RIZQULLAH. He was born on 20th March 2002 at Gleneagles Hospital Medan (now Gleni Hospital). I remembered that, at the afternoon before his birth, I asked Ivan if he prefered baby boy or girl. He had chosen baby boy for his little brother. And it was become true, at 21.42 pm, the same day, I had given normal-birth the cute baby boy with weight 3.6 kg. How sweet and happy we were. Thanks God. Ryan is my youngest son.

During his baby period, there was no special problem I had faced in nursing him. And Ryan was lucky that he had full-2 years milk-feed from me. Perhaps that's why he become a tough baby, and seldom got serious ill.

Last 2005, in his 3.5 years, he had become a kindergarten student at TK Harapan. He was more socialized and more creative then. He studied many things which increased his inteligence and motoric skill. He had 2 years time in kindergarten which he finished at June 2007.

Since July 2007 he had entered primary school at SD Harapan 3 although he had been only 5.2 years old. However as time goes on, he has not got so much problem in the class for he also join the extra class at school in order to increase his capability. He now can write and read fluently, and also has good appreciation in math.

Being a grown-up kid he is very eager bicycling with his neighborhood-friends. I think that is good for his health of which in his tiredness his appetite for meals become bigger.

Well, Ryan is still my cute-baby for he still sleep with us at night until now. But he promises to sleep with his brother when he'll got 2nd class of primary school.

******* THE END********

THE THREE CUTE SONS (PART 2)

Ivan was born on 2nd April 1996 by Caesar process and was given complete name IVAN NAUFAL PRIADY. He was really a cute baby with normal weight of 3.6 kgs, but it was funny that he had no hair. So I always gave him hair-tonic in order to add the growth of his hair. And it worked well. Now he has good-full-hair.

He is now one of a junior high school student at same school with Ande in Al-Azhar. He has 145 IQ rank and then become an accellerated student, so since February 2008 he has been at 8th of junior high (SMP). And next year Ivan and Ande will finish their SMP altogether.

Ivan has good appreciation to IT and loves IT very much and learn it fast. His favorite recreation nowadays is going to bookstore, where he could choose various books related with IT matters like 'visual basic', how to creat & manage worm-virus,etc.

Being a boy with high IQ, he sometimes has so high pride with his capability of which I always warned him not to behave like that. "Be humble and everyone will respect you", I often told him. He's also lazy to study and got leasure too much by watching tv or playing with computer during study time at home. This problem typically happens for many of kids with high IQ, like Ivan and his friends which of course makes problem too to the parents. As parents we sometimes are stuck for not knowing how to manage him.

Beside the lack behavior of him, of course there's always positive things we can count from our Ivan. He is of course clever and has good appreciation for all lessons especially IT and math. (He is in rank 5 in his class now -there's 16 student in his accelerated class-).Everyday so many questions could be thrown out from his brain, even an annoyyed and silly ones. Being very creative, every things in his hands will become some other things that sometimes cannot be guessed.

Yes, that's Ivan. We thank God that we have our Ivan with his bads and goods. And hope someday he will be someone as he wishes, an IT expert.

THE CUTE SONS (PART 1)

He was just a little baby, a cute one. His weight was not more that 2.9 kgs. We were so happy to find out that finally he was born on 24th January 1995, exactly a year after our marriage. We gave him a good name : ANDREE ARIEF PRATAMA for he was our first son.

As a baby he also always got trouble with the environment condition. He sometimes got influenza but at another time got sick of diarrhea. For this diarrhea problem he had already 3 times to be cured at the hospital.

Perhaps the idea saying that "ASI - Air Susu Ibu" or mother's milk as the best nutrition for baby is basically true. My Ande -nickname for Andree- had got ASI only for 6 months time because when he was 6 months old I got pregnancy for the 2nd baby therefore should keep Ande away from breast feeding. So I think, the lack of ASI perhaps decreased his immunity. Ande then only consumed canned-milk and other addtional nutrition like rice-porridge and fruits juice.

As time goes on, he grew up normally become a healthy child. Now he is surely a smart teen in his 13 years old and goes to 8th class of junior high school with IQ 114. His love of math and biology makes us full of hope that someday he will be a really good doctor as he always wishes.

But as a teenage he has classic problem : acne. I always asked him not to feel inferior because this acne problem will be vanished as he becomes older, and never forget keeping hygiene of the skin.

Ande, although you are the oldest, Mom and Pa will not give you the responsibility of taking care for your two brothers. You are still a child and 3 of you will of course have your own destiny. So just be good in brotherhood, always take care to each other. Whereever and whoever you will be in the future, never leave 5 times praying and always reading the Al-Qur'an.
