dreaming of creating my own school

I always want to start a school...punya sekolah sendiri,bukan berarti utk memenuhi egoisme diri,atau pun kepuasan semata,tp kalo ditelusuri,berupa beban hidup dan keinginan utk membentuk suatu tempat di mana anak2 bs bertumbuh,belajar,dan juga bersenang-senang..

Apa yah artinya belajar namun penuh dengan siksaan diri?? Hahahaha memacu diri sgt penting,pendidikan ketat,disiplin juga baik,tapi kalau penyampaian pelajaran dgn singkat,jelas,dan menyenangkan,tentu lebih baik lagi. Ada anak yg mungkin ga termotivasi belajar, ada yg sngt rajiiin sekali,dan ada pula yg di tengah2,itu banyak sekali....di tahap manapun anak,ia punya tugas utk menyelesaikan tahapannya dan kewajibannya juga utk 'belajar' sesuatu baik secara formal maupun non formal...eniwei,kepikiran buat school sendiri bukan ide lama or basi,tapi memang hasrat terpendam ha ha ha. Kesibukan mengurus 2 anak tanpa pengasuh,memendam hasrat ini lamaaaaa sekali, namun kalo kesenggol dikitttt aja,langsung sgala teori dan harapan bermunculan he he he...

Semua ini aku bawa dlm doa di hadapan Tuhan yang maha tau,rencana ini hny rencanaku Tuhan tp kehendakMU lah yg terbaik dan terlaksana...maybe one day,dreams will come true...nobody knows right?!? :)

moses has started to eat solid

So finally he is almost 6 months old,so I need to open my big book inside my brain,trying to remember all the menus,how to make puree and what dos and donts to prevent any allergy...so here is moses on his first day of eating...so convincing ha ha

what has happened...??

So many things happen in these two months....

First, moses grows up so quickly, he gained more and more kilos....

Second, preparation for joice's second birthday :)

Third, I haven't loose weight*sight.....

I'm so blessed with all those beautiful moments...

Joice has learned to speak and she chose mandarin as her first language,she speaks mandarin fluently...oh boy,her teachers and friends don't even understand what she's talking about...on the other hand, my goal is a success...she can master mandarin more than indonesian...

Anddddd... We decided to put joice in toddler class....

papa's birthday

On papa's birthday, everybody was still awake when he got home. So we all had chance to sing, cut cake and take a picture together :)

No special celebration, its just a give thank of everything that God had guided him and us all...

God bless you,papa Calvin :)

sorry...

Sorry for no photos are available right now ha ha....mama is still busy with daily jobs so uploading photo is the last thing to do in my note :)

6 weeks old baby + 22,5 months old toddler

What a good combination at my home...

We are in lebaran holiday. We don't go anywhere,just staying at jakarta where everybodye else go for vacation...yes,we stuck here together. Once in a while,we go to malls for refreshing,baby is too small, and joice is having a little trouble in finishing her meal. So whenever we go out,I come home with fresh mind but tired body he he he..dealing with toddler and breatfed baby.

Moses is still fully breastfed, I always there to feed him,yet he's having trouble to sleep. I try to follow his pattern and his habit,but its so hard to put him to sleep..he would wake up after 15 or 30 mins after I put him to sleep...everyday I try and try a new way..still until today, I can't find the right way to make him comfort. He would wake up and cry and doesn't want to go back to sleep without I feed him...hm....what a challenge for me!

On the other hand, dear joice who never have eating problem,suddenly refuse to finish her rice. She just wants to eat half portion EVERYTIME. So it makes me and calvin frustated. We try to change the menu, but she still shuts her mouth after few spoons...until now, I try not to make this a big deal for her, I'm afraid she would draw more attention by scolding her more...so just bare with it,try new menus almost everyday and try to make eating time become a fun time...watching barney, I talk to her nicely,tell her story while eating,praise her and reward her sticker if she's quiet and being nice during meal time.

She grows fast actually, she tries to copy whatever we say,talk, and act. She also can count fastly in mandarin. She loves her brother and doesn't mind if I spend much time with her brother. I always find a quality time once in a day to spend with her though...sometimes I just so tired and just want to throw myself on bed,but whenever I remember my kids,I just give it up and wake up to play either with one of them..

I thank God for having my mom around to help me cooking and taking care of children. Without her, I would be so tired and stressful hehehehe God provides right..? So give (*) .·.◦†нªηк's◦.·. (*) to God in every condition...

2 months away to two!

Joice is almost 2!....(Terrible two...)

We always angry and laugh to her in the same time. She can:
1.Try singing with others (tv,papa,mama,pho,friends,laoshe)
2.Take off and put on her own shoes
3.feed herself (sometimes too messy! )
4. Say one two three in mandarin
5. Say xie xie
6.Make a sentence with two words
7. Love to hop,run,jump,roll, climb , all physical activity
8.Shy when neet new people
9. Carry her own backpack to sunday school (mama needs to be with moses all time)
10. Sleep by herself whenever and wherever
11, Love her milk to the last drop he he!
And...many many more...

She grows so fast day by day...and she learns new thing each day...I'm so thankful to God to see her progress everyday...if I look at her now, just can't believe how fussy she was when she was a baby (under one year old), but now she's so independent...mature...and can start taking care of herself.
She still makes me headache sometimes ha ha...its not easy to persuade her to do one thing that she doesn't want to do,yet mama and papa always find a way to finally make her to do it ha ha!
She's not jeoulous or angry to welcome her little brother,yet she loves him even she doesn't really show it. She always says dede nenen hahahaha and pointing to hers hihihihi...she let me spend the time with moses anytime..she just patiently wait with pho2 or mbak..playing when I feed my baby...

Thank you God for blessing our little family...
