This year's Ramadhan my intention was to get Layth introduced to fasting. Unfortunately the conditions werent conducive. Baba was working nights so we didnt have dinner at the same time. Iftar was at 5pm, sometimes I'd get home at 5.30. So there was no 'excitement' of waiting at the table for the adzan.
Layth went to the masjid with Baba for a few tarawikh but again because he was working nights, he didnt go to the masjid because it would have been too tiring.
Sahur was at 4am. Layth only woke up once for it. He ate a chocolate bar and went back to sleep. Thauban was more enthusiastic waking up that early in the morning!
Layth attempted to fast during the weekend only. He usually doesnt eat much anyway but when he was fasting, he kept whining about being hungry! At one point he even cried because he was so 'hungry'.
I got really annoyed with this behaviour. Anyway, I gave up (which was probably wrong of me) whereas i should have just let him start fasting and then stop if he couldnt go on.
Next time we can do better inshaAllah. I hope.
