From Hmph! Hmph! to Yay!

The past few weeks, Timmy has been telling me that he doesn't wanna go to school.
That happened almost every morning.
He woke up fine, brushed teeth fine, getting dressed fine....
until we reached the school gate.

He would be stuck there for few minutes or so...
Resisting to get in the school.

There were some teachers who stand right in front of the gate to check the kids' temperature and give antiseptic to clean their hands.

Apparently, Timmy hated this ritual.
So...he refused to get in.

However, once he passed through the gate, he is a happy go lucky boy again.

Just the gate is the hurdle!

I asked the teachers how he is in the class room, the teachers said that he is alright and fine in the class.

Tried talking to Timmy and asked him why he would stuck in front of the gate.
He told me that he doesn't like the 'white white teachers' there.
Hmmmmm...

I tried all the methods...from talking to him calmly, explaining the reasons why he needs to go to school, reading books about school, making reward chart, talking and talking and talking, till getting angry.... Grrrr...

Finally today it works!
He passed through the gate smoothly, then wave good bye Mommy, go up the stairs by himself with his backpack on his shoulder.

There you go my boy!
Fiuh! Finally!

The Giant Egg Hunt

Summarecon Mall Serpong is hosting The Giant Easter Egg Hunt.

After school we took the Summarecon shuttle bus and visited SMS.
Got the flyerof the egg hunt, with the map at the back of it.

Timmy was so excited when he saw the map, studied it closely.
The first egg that we found was in front of Agis store.
Gotta count the sum of all the numbers on the egg.

Then we head off to the second egg.
Timmy studied the map again and walked to Gramedia.
As he saw Gramedia from a distance, he ran and shoted: "Mama, Gramedia!
That's the other egg!"

We still have some other eggs to hunt...till next time! :)) hehehehe...

Swiper Sandwich

Timmy is a big fan of Dora the Explorer.

Today, I made Swiper sandwich.
Timmy helped me spread the peanut butter all over the toast.
He was so excited as we prepared the ingredients together.

Our new pet - Hermit Crab

We have our new pet: Hermit Crab!

Bought them at Carita Beach around 2 weeks ago.
As we walked along the sandy beach, there was this guy who was selling hermit crab. At that time, I only wanted to show Timmy the hermit crab.
The man got lots of them in the bucket.
Small ones and big ones.

It was funny to see how they crawl and come out of their shells.
When I put my hands in front of their eyes, they would hide into their shells.

After some time, my dad decided to buy 2 for Timmy.
Then here we go, our first pet!

My brothers used to have them when we were kids.
People used to sell it in front of our school.
They would tie match box with wheels behind the hermit crab shells,
and as they walk the hermit crab would pull these tiny version of cart.
However, when I was a girl, I was not attracted to this thing.

Not until now that we own them.
I love to see they eat and fascinated by it.
We have 2, the black one and the red one.
The black one is more active and eager to roam.
While the red one is less active.
When being put into the land, the black one will roam free and explore.
The red one crawl and hide under a leaf.

Boys will always be boys

Few days ago, we went to Summarecon Mall Serpong.
They held the racing car exhibition, completed with the track.
Timmy was so excited to see it. He was standing by to see the kids play around with their cars.

On Thursday afternoon, we went to have lunch at Solaria.
Not long after, he asked his dad: "Can I buy a car too?"
That's his first racing car, Hot Wheelers, is the brand.

Boys will always be boys....

Carita Beach

Over the weekend, we enjoyed our wonderful moments at Carita Beach.
Grandpa and grandma had fun talking and playing with Timmy.

In the morning, we went for a walk along the sandy beach.
Timmy had lots of encounter with nature.
He saw the hermit crab big and small, played with the kite, blew bubbles,
wrote on the sand, made foot steps on the beach, dipped the feet in sand and felt the wave. We saw where the river water drift to the sea and blended together.

I told Timmy to see over the horizon, it seems that the sea is connected with the sky, making a straight line. He asked me an interesting question "What is there behind the line? Is there anymore sea beyond it?"

Finally had my hair cut

Finally I had my hair cut!

Timmy was waiting next to me as I had my hair washed, cut and dried.
By the time it was done, Timmy told me that "Mom, your hair is still long, so I will cut it again with my scissors."

Aiya...aiya....imagine if I had my hair cut by Timmy. hahahahaha...

Feeling like having a hair cut

I really feel like having a hair cut.
Been trying to leave my hair for a bit longer, but apparently,
I get annoyed with my hair these days and feel like cutting it short! :-)

I had fun today playing the brain teasers game and Test your Memory game.
