I went to a majlis bacaan Yassin, arranged by people in my neighborhood area. As usual, during Yasin recites, we put some water in a container and put the container in the middle of crowds with a hope to get Barkat from the surah. I went there together with Sophie’s nanny whom now is called Mamazila (not Godzilla) by Sophie. Once I arrived there, people looked at me bizarrely. Yes I knew why, – that was my first time turned up in a feast among these neighbours throng.

I brought Sophie together as I wish her to get used in such situation if happen sooner I’ll be joining kind of event again. These crowd people were gazing at us mother and baby, and started to hugs and kisses Sophie, but she was so bumpy and began crying. Then one of them asked me, how old Sophie is. I told her that Sophie was 8 mos going to 9 mos. She asked me whether Sophie can walk and I said, nope as she could only stand up for few seconds then collapse, nevertheless she could walk if she supported her hands all the way at sofas while cruising.

Then this mak cik with such smugness face pointed to her little 9 months daughter who can already walk when she was 8 mos plus. Zappp, suddenly I felt pity for Sophie that she hasn’t gone to that level as seeing the little girl (even though she was older) was emaciated-petite if compared to my tall-chunky Sophie.

Went back home, I told babah about the scene and we both agreeable to teach Sophie walk using her Stefie (which can be transformed into a roller-pusher if we take out the seat). We once thought that such stimulation would quicker her development milestone. Started from that day, we taught Sophie to make footsteps but she’d rather stood up on her toes.  We couldn’t take even 5 minutes to accomplish the lesson since Sophie would cry for sit to cruising.

Until today I discover the truly things,  I promise myself not to pursue the stimulation again! Thus, I’ve a very important message that I wish to stress to all anxious mommies out there. A myth the-faster-a baby–can-walk-the–better-physical body–and-mind–she-has is totally WRONG!!!
