Playdoh

We visited Times Book Store and Timmy saw FunDough.

He asked me: "Mom, can I buy this? It's not expensive. Only Rp. 15,000.
I told him: "No, Timmy. You can have a look at it, but we don't buy it this time."
He went back to the playdoh place. Looking, touching it and holding it around.

Then he noticed that there is the bigger ones, with purple playdoh. His favorite color. "Mom, can I buy this one? It is Rp. 30,000. And there is 10 in it.
The previous one only has 4 in it. It's not expensive. Can I Mom, please?"

Me: "No Timmy." I took out my wallet and show him the money..
This is 10 thousand, 5 thousand, 5 thousand, etc. Till it all adds up to 30,000.
But then Mommy has little cash left.

Timmy: "But Mom, that means that you have enough money to buy this."
Me: "Yes Tim, but I still need to pay for your medicine and the parking.
So, we'll buy it next time ok. In the mean time, you can get sticker from the nurse."

Timmy: "Hm? Sticker?"

Sticker is precious for kids and works wonders...
hehehehehe..

H2O2

I'm feeling very sad right now...

Yesterday I bought a bottle of H2O2 from an apotek opposite the market.
Apparently the % content of that thing is more than it should be!
The normal safe % should be 3%.
Gees! When it contacted with my fingers, my fingers were white and had burning sensation. With this kind of result, when I searched the internet, it is 30%!
Imagine 3% to 30%! Madness!!!!

The worst thing was that I've put it into Timmy's ears.

Man....we had sleepless night last night.
Timmy finally fell asleep at 3.00 am.

I tried to clean it by flushing lots of water into Timmy's ear.
Today, we went to see the ear, nose and throat specialist.
Hopefully Timmy's ear can be normal.

Gess! I'm so angry with that Apotik!

Star

Timmy got a star from his teacher yesterday for being good at school and listened to the teacher while in class. I love it!

He has been telling me that he's not good in class, right after he came out of the school gate. And I've been telling him how to behave at school over and over again. I started to get worried about it.

This star is like a gift for me! :)
I'm smiling and happy!

Our Letters

Two days ago, I had an idea for Timmy to write me a letter.
Here they are...

The first one he made was for me, and the writing was a bit big.
Then I told him to try writing within the lines, as I wrote him a letter too.
Following that, Timmy wrote another one for his dad, and this time, it's all neat and within the lines. :)

I'm proud of you Tim!

Timmy Nguping

The other day, I was having lunch with my Mom & Dad, with Timmy around. He was enjoying his pizza as we talked.

My Dad was saying: "Tutup satu mata, 50%. Kalo buka semuanya kan 100%." Suddenly Timmy said: "Kalo tutup semuanya, berapa %?"
hahahahahaha....

Apparently, he was listening to us.
He just looked so innocent, while eating his pizza.
hahahaha..

Timmy....Timmy....

Motherhood

Having read the article about "The Best and Worst Things being a Mom Today", I like this part:

Quote:
'Love them, be strict and honest with them, live a good life full of love and happiness and they will seek out the same.'"

The best parts of being a mom, some of you said, are the aspects that don't change from generation to generation, like the love that flows between you and your children, the kinship you feel with other mothers, and the wonder of watching your kids grow.

You appreciate the elements of modern motherhood that enhance the essential joy of being a mom and dislike the ones that steal from it. And in the end, despite all the challenges of being a mom now — and the difficulties moms have always faced — you know the payoff is worth it.

"It is and will be the best thing I've ever done"
"As a mother, you feel so many emotions — happy, sad, scared, and uncertain," said one mom. "But after you get the first month or so under your belt, it has to be the best feeling in the world!

"Words can't describe how much being a mom changes your life," she continued. "But there's nothing that can give you so much happiness. It is and will be the best thing I've ever done." Unquote.

Sssh! Don't tell Mom!

Early this week, Benny told me a funny incident.

He was in our room, taking his nap.
Timmy asked to watch "Jungle Beat", his current favorite DVD.
We have a habit of letting Timmy watch it, right after his shower.
But that day, Timmy refused to have a shower.
He asked me: "Mom, can I watch Jungle Beat?"
I told him: "You can watch it after your shower."
Timmy: "But I don't wanna have a shower."
Me: "Fine, if you don't wanna have your shower, I will go downstairs and cook. After I finish cooking, then you'll have your shower."

As I was downstairs, Timmy was in the room with Benny.
Then our boy turned the TV and DVD on.
The volume of the TV was quite loud (due to the setting from his last movie).
Timmy was shocked and ran to the TV to turned the volume down,
then ran to lock the door. After that, he just stood by the door, thinking....
Then, he paused the DVD, feeling guilty...
After that, he just sat still on the bed...

Benny told me, it was so funny, his action was like a teenager who wanted to watch dirty porn movie, not wanting his mom to know...

Oh my oh my....4 year old boy... :))
