down to one time sleeping ...(finally)

Akhirnya...joice has set up her sleeping habit, selama di sing,emang udah kelihatan agak2 mau berubah,tapi sepulang dari holiday,barulah she really try to be settled.

Selama beberapa hari minggu lalu, joice bobo pagi hari only one hour, terus makan and maen,jam 3 or 4 sore baru bobo lagi sampai 5.30 or almost 6. Nah hari ini hari ke 4,kalau dia ternyata emang bobo cuma one time sekarang,sekitar jam 1 or 1.30 sampai jam 4 or 4.30.

Dimulai pas pagi,bangun bobo,makan n susu seperti biasa,sampai jam 10an biasa minta bobo,kali ini udah jam 11,masih segar,disuruh bobo ga mau,tapi kucek2 mata melulu..akhirnya jam 11.30 minta susu (hah....tengah bolong) so I just gave her lunch aja,daripada susu lagi...dia makan dengan laparnya he he,jam 12.30 matanya uda berat,minta susu dan bobo...

The next day, jam 1, lebih pas,jadi bangun jam 3. Then the next day lagi, jam 1.30 sampai 3,dan sekarang jam 1.30,lebih pas lagi waktu untuk anak bobo siang :)

This is telling me that she's not a baby anymore, she's a kid! Waktunya menjadi anak-anak,dengan jam tidur teratur dan makan teratur. Di satu sisi, I'm thankful to God karena masa transisinya went smoothly,dia cepat sekali adjust ke jam tidur yang baru and dia juga malam hari pasti bobo jam 10 dan bangun jam 8 pagi. Teratur sekali...(I wish I can also be like that! Hehehehe) justru mamanya yang agak ga teratur, not to mention papa. Kadang bisa bobo early,kadang ga bisa bobo till midnight,entah karena bolak balik pipis or just can't sleep. Sakit pinggang,rasanya menekan,kadang mau pipis melulu :( wah akhirnya pas mau bobo,joice tiba-tiba mimpi,kudu tepok2in lagi dulu :) akhirnya mencoba untuk bobo lagi...huehehehe

Welcome to toddlerhood ya joice...

2 weeks before 1,5

At these past 2 weeks,joice had started to combine two words together. Its not easy for her to say perfectly even one word,yet she's tried to combine 2 words together. Since she was baby, I tried to talk to her in mandarin, so she understands it from early age. Teaching something in mandarin isn't so easy, my mandarin isn't really perfect hehehehe but I try my best to speak daily conversation all in mandarin. My mom always speaks to joice in mandarin , so I learn hard words or vocabulary much from her, or my dad :)

So anyway, joice started to speak in mandarin actually for the first time. She could say: pho pho (nenek), A ma (nenek juga), mamam, nyum (minum), bobo, cece, dede, mbak, cie (pinjam), jhiek (potong..karena joice suka mainan potong2 buah :) ),pung (mandi), bhung (jatuh), juju (agar-agar hahahaha), eee iiii (sesuatu yg dia mau ngomong tapi ga bisa), pau (roti), byeee, bha bha (takut), mimi (barney), mini (minnie mouse), maen (mau main), ap (bebek), uuuu (ayam jantan), I think that's all that I can remember for now...

In this week, suddenly she tries so hard to say two words in one short sentence. Like, cece mamam, mama cie, dede bobo, mama nyum, its hard for the first time then it flows from her mouth so easily now :)

Not only in verbally, but she's also tries to copy my motion and words. If I say something then she would just copy exactly the same. If I try to clap my hands then she would follow too. Ha ha ha.

Another thing that is happening now, joice is so attached to me since my tummy is getting bigger too. She's aware that she'll have brother soon so she acts sooooo different. Usually she does her things everything by her own. She enjoys to play in her own time and never felt insecure if I need to cook or going to bathroom. But now if I dissapear from her sight,even only a few seconds and she realizes it, she would look for me and call "mama mama".its always like that.. People say,it might be beacuse of "bawaan dede nya..tau mau punya dede.." Whatever it is, I believe she will change again after having little brother...for now,she feels that she needs me all the time, but later she'll grow up and be independent more than what I can imagine..so I just enjoy this moment..our togetherness together hehehehe...

Grow up joice, be more mature each day...(Kasian papa lagi ga laku musimnya saat ini hahahahaha,maunya mama melulu, even papa is always the best untuk jalan jalan yah joiceee...)
