Aga the Saint.

For long I have admired the maturity shown by Aga. He is a regular, vanilla flavoured lad. Nothing fancy, nothing irregular, nothing nasty.

Infact, all the naughtiness that you may choose to observe is dictated by the fact there is Lila somewhere around. Anything he would do or want to do, we try and clarify that it is acceptable for that particular time given Lila is around.

He is never fussed about anything. He will go and play with anyone. He is willing to accept what you give him and understand why you withhold something from him. Obviously, like any other kid, if you are in ToysRus for example, he will always say Mau ini, Mau itu but you can give him any excuse for a reason and move forward. He neither would cry nor whine about any of that. You could see other kids older than him, flat on the ground in ToysRus demanding their parents buy something that instant or else their tantrum would find no bounds.

You take him to any restaurant. Monica and I may have preferences. He never minds what we order for him. He happily eats what we give him and we do not have to chase him around trying to finish off his bowl. It is, as a matter of fact, the other way around. He would chase you just so that you do not deprive him off any delicious food!!!

He would have fallen off the slide and scrapped his palm and his blood is about to flow. He will not cry he will come and show you: Red hands daddy. In the night, when the pain kicks in, he will slowly come over to you and say Sakit Daddy. You gently blow on his hand and enquire if it feels any better. Ofcourse, he says with a BIG, special smile.

Krupuks Mami!!! Aga mau Krupuks. Aga mau Yello krupuks sama orange krupuks sama ...

He is like Yovita in those. He can eat anything crunchy and loves the Indian Papad! He loves it. He can have a main course of Papad. Monica complains about spicy food and he can voraciously consume the same without any complaints. Milk, water, juice - any of that, in a carton or in a bottle or in a cup. He does not mind and he does not insist.

You may not believe this. If you would ask me to recount how often he has cried, I would say a total of 5 minutes every 2 months. He just never cries!

So, I think: If Lila was not around, I would not worry if he would accidentally step on her or wake her up with his actions or make her cry by patting her a little harshly. Assuming Lila was not there, having explained in the previous paragraphs, don't you reckon Aga is a Saint?
