Start Him Young

hubby & i always let amir roam around us while we pray. we dont mind him sitting on the prayer mat or looking at us or watching us pray. i know some parents would prefer to put their children aside as the children would disrupt their prayers, but to us, moving aside a few steps to avoid him is not a big deal. at least he's familiar with the prayer mat and knows what it is for. he also knows to sujud whenever we say "Allahu akbar". now he's moved a step forward and would raise both arms when we say "Allahu akbar". he even know that daddy's kain is for prayers. if hubby prays in his office attire amir would call him and bring over the kain pelekat to him. lets just hope it'll be easy to teach him to pray properly, insyaallah...
