brushing teeth

at first, its a struggle to use toothpaste...its about the flavor apparently....so my dear neighbor 'donated' a sample for me, and Joice just love it! apple banana flavor from first teeth toothpaste. I buy online since nobody is coming around from Singapore...

now she's quite enjoying the brushing session.

its started with sitting in front of tv to distract her from the toothpaste, now she brushes with me together in the bathroom, in front if big mirror. she stands on a short chair facing mirror. we brush together.... still can't gurgle or spit the toothpaste and water, but she is still in the process of learning....

another playing session

pho pho is always around for Joice...she is a very faithful company for Joice...i really owe her a big thanks, hugs, and time.....since i just can't run with Joice, play with her, or snuggling even wrestling he he, so my mom takes over...

playing session is always spent with my mom...all my friend always say: wah mamamu lincah yah hahahahaha...yes, she is! she also exercises together with Joice

If you have nothing to do, come and spend some time with us and joice...I guarantee you will lose at least few calories ha ha!

these pictures were taken yesterday, when kung kung has a day off, we would go somewhere further places like noa's park at plaza indo...usually we just go to the nearby playground :)

saturday fish feeding

my tummy is getting bigger...I don't really have many choices to go on weekend...if i want joice to get fresh air and places to run, then my parents and I always bring her to this place during weekend. one of the days.....It's central park mall. Outside, there is a park with fish pools and open air place to run around. sometimes they put children toys around like carousel, cars, etc.

We just enjoying the time by feeding the fish and closing it with dough nuts or yogurt from nearby j.co :) before dinner time....

train and car

toys are not divided by gender at this age...as long as it's a fun ride, why not ?!? he he he

Charlene is here...

my dear friend comes back every once a year....Sunny has two cute kids. this one is Charlene, she's almost four, she only speaks cantonese and english.

We spent some time together...

next year, these girls will look much different and they can enjoy and play more with each other :)

Eating by myself

yup...eating by myself especially when we eat outside is started to be a habit for joice...

she would ask for a plate, spoon, and a bowl of soup...

then try to spoon her meal from her plate...

good job, joice....! we are so proud of you

background story: I train her to eat pudding by herself at home...I still have a headache if i see rice or soup are spreading around the house, so i just let her to eat pudding and yoghurt by herself to practice how to 'aim' to the perfect position (her mouth he he he)... she has started to train herself since she was about 1,3 years old. now i think because of those training, she manages to put her spoon correctly to her mouth (of course sometimes she spills rice or pudding on the floor :) )

Sunday School

sunday school is always a fun time for Joice!

akhir-akhir ini Joice lebih banyak 'dilepas' di dalam kelas..which means I just sat in one corner on a chair then I let her to go sitting with other friends or near the teacher. i let her to be more independent..at least she tries too :)

sometimes she walks back toward me but sometimes she looks so enjoying the time and forget for few minutes that i'm not around her..many times, she still makes sure that I still sit on the same place and watch over her....(its the matter of age I think..) she's not yet 2 years old,so she still wants me to accompany by her side :)

anyway, because I don't really need to always sit with her, I was able to walk around and took some of her pictures he he....but for some motions for singing or during story telling I usually sit next to her and try to make her more focus to the Bible story....as one of the children under 2 of course she actually does not really pay attention to the story...somehow after the sunday school time is over, on the car, I would ask her some questions about the story and I could see some of her understanding toward it...like about Jesus' disciples, I asked her Yesus punya 12 mu.....then she was like trying to answer rid. ha hahahaha

I believe God has His own special way to touch every kid's heart...I try my best to introduce and explain to her about the knowledge of God, but God do the rest. As long as we try our best and pray for her, I believe the word of God will work in its own way to touch every heart....
