Smarty sakit lagi ...

Smarty sakit kira2 7-Aug yang baru lalu.
infus 4 hari di RS tingkat provincial. ternyata gak ada kemajuan.
iparku kemudian membawa Smarty ke rumah sakit herbalist (kalo di indo, dikenal sebagai Shinshe). katanya obat infusnya kurang dosis, sehingga gak menyembuhkan, malah tambah parah.

Smarty harus infus lagi 4 hari, ganti jenis obatnya.
kasian, jadi tiap hari bolak balik buat infus.
di sini sistem infusnya sehari kira2 2-3 jam, tergantung berapa botol obat yang kudu diinfus. setelah itu, pulang rumah. besok datang lagi .. dan seterusnya sampai 4 hari. bukan dengan opname di RS.

Smarty sempat sembuh selama 3 harian.
Pas hari ultahnya, 30 Aug, dia demam lagi. Aduh 'Nak ... kamu pasti capek bolak-balik rumah sakit dan minum berbagai obat. 3 hari kemudian, demamnya udah hilang, tapi dia batuk.
kemudian ke shinshe lagi, dan harus tambah infus lagi 3 hari. (total udah 11 hari infus dalam sebulan ini).

tadi malam, dia nginap di rumahku, gak dibawa pulang karena takut udara malam yang dingin memperparah batuknya. mama papanya gak nginap karena takut kalo mama papanya nginap, dia merengek2 minta pulang. jadi kita pada kompakan bilang papa dan mamanya dinas keluar kota.

pikirku anak2 gak usah mandi aja semalem karena cuaca agak dingin, udah autum. daripada sakit, kan orang dewasanya yang repot. kata Oma, Qiqi pagi dan siang perutnya agak kembung, jadi aku putuskan gak mandiin. Opa malah mandiin Smarty dengan alasan dia seharian keringatan. kalo aku yang nangani, paling aku wash-lap aja, karena tuh anak lagi sakit. tapi Opa tuh kan orangnya susah dibilangi, Oma juga gak setuju Smarty dimandiin. tapi teteeeup aja dimandiin semalam jam 9.30. (*sudah pasti opa menyesal sekali*)

Jam 10.30, Smarty mulai batuk terus-terusan. Oma bilang, "ambilin baskom, jaga2 kalo dia muntah." belom lagi baskomnya diambilin, Smarty dah muntah di tempat tidur.

untung si Qiqi udah tidur. aku, suami dan mertua langsung sibuk deh .. dengan Crystal mondar-mandir ikut "sibuk".

waktu guyur muntahan di handuk kecil, sempat mual-mual juga (*kayak hamil aja*). terus nyikat bagian tikar yang kena muntahan. pas nyuci handuk, udah langsung pakai deterjen sesendok penuh, sambil nyuci sambil merem2 dikit. suamiku juga langsung tereak2, itu yang di lantai disirem2 dulu, yang di baskom tuang ke wc dulu .. kan geli .. dia tuh lebih gelian lagi. sama ulat aja dia takut.

pernah waktu main di kampung, si Crystal sama mama disuruh mungutin ulet terus diunjuk-unjukin ke papanya. papanya langsung kabur. kalo mama Crystal sih gak usah ngomong, mama kan macho. hehehee..

ngomong2 ada yang punya resep gak..
kira2 kalo anak kecil bolak balik kumat batuk pilek demam, gimana cara nyembuhinnya? sekali udah batuk, pilek .. tuh langsung parah aja. kasian banget !

katanya orang2 sini, bayi baru lahir di bawah usia setahun, kalo gak ngerasain dinginnya musim dingin, jadinya gampang sakit, daya tahan tubuh lemah .. kena hawa dingin sedikit aja.. langsung tepar.

Smarty lahir akhir Agustus, sudah masuk musim semi. begitu winter tiba, dia langsung tinggal nyaris 4 bulan di rumah oma-luar (mama dari mamanya) yang di rumahnya ada heater. jadi dia gak ngerasain dinginnya winter. mungkin teori tadi ada benernya.

Mamaku juga turut memberi beberapa tips via sms.

Crystal & Angie's look-alike meter

dapat yg di bawah ini setelah blog-walking ke rumah Ninis

MyHeritage: Look-alike Meter

take it for granted

aku termasuk orang yang selalu bawa makanan (biasanya roti dan biskuit) plus susu. karena masih menyusui dan masih memeras ASI di kantor. kalo gak "ngisi" bensin, ASI-nya akan berkurang. kadang2 juga gak sempat sarapan kalo si Crystal lagi kolokan minta perhatian, minta suapin sebelum aku berangkat.

nah, teman2 kantor pada tau kalo aku selalu punya ransum. maka ada beberapa orang tertentu yang kerjaannya minta.

pernah sekali, sebut saja si A, gak sarapan, terus dia punya biskuit. begitu lihat aku bawa roti (ber-raisin), ngajak barter. sambil bilang, "aku males makan biskuit ini."
si A ini kalo gak sempat sarapan, seringkali nanya, "Yen, punya roti gak, aku gak sarapan. bagi dong." kalo udah sore-sore, jam tigaan, biasanya jam laper lagi. si A ini juga suka nyamperin mejaku, "ada makanan gak?"

adalagi si B dan si C, juga kurang lebih sama. kalo udah sore2, suka nanya, "punya makanan gak?"

ada satu lagi, si D, mirip kasus si A. tapi mendingan dikit. flatnya di kawasan yang rada terpencil, kadang suka mati air. jadi pagi hari suka nelpon minta titip beliin roti, kebetulan aku selalu melewati 2 toko roti yang persis di jalanan depan flat kami.

pernah sekali aku bawain beberapa roti. terus dia bilang, wah mahal yah ... terus eh, lupa bayar. terus 2 hari kemudian nitip lagi, sambil pesan, jangan yang terlalu mahal. so, aku beli di toko roti yang satu lagi, yang price levelnya agak murah. kali ini dia bayar, tapi tetap lupa bayar yang marennya.

suatu kali, masih si D, gak sarapan dan gak sempat nelpon buat nitip. ketika tiba di kantor, nanya, "punya roti gak? kamu sendiri udah sarapan?" berhubung aku punya beberapa roti, satunya aku berikan ke dia. kupikir karena dia biasa nitip, yang aku gak minta uangnya. tapi eh, habis itu, dia juga gak bilang mau ganti roti yang dia ambil. dan memang akhirnya gak diganti. si D ini kadang2 juga suka sore2 nyari ransum gratisan ke mejaku. cuman gak sering2 banget.

aku sama sekali gak keberatan dititipin, karena hampir tiap hari aku juga mampir ke toko roti.

dan bukannya pelit .. tapi kok pada jadiin aku "yayasan sosial bagi ransum" yah? dan kok jadi sering-sering yah...


aku tuh bukan orang yang bisa blak-blakan, masih penganut budaya "sungkan", kayak beginian malas aja dibahas dg yang bersangkutan. toh udah pada dewasa dan punya otak masing2. dan mestinya mereka yang sungkan.

mbok kalo memang naga-naga di perut suka kelaparan sore-sore, yah bawa cemilan sendiri lah...



Pisau buah
Si C sering pinjem pisau buahku, saking seringnya, akhirnya pisau itu ditaroh di mejanya. Suatu kali dia bilang, “Yen, pisau buahmu hilang. Gak tau ke mana.”
Terus gak ada usaha nanya atau cari tahu kek .. siapa yang pinjam.
Even gak ada basa-basi sama sekali, misal:“pisaunya gak nemu nih. Kapan-kapan aku ganti deh.”Kalopun dia basa-basi gitu, aku pasti akan bilang, ”udahlah. gapapa, gak usah ganti.”
Eh, udah aja.. case close. Parah kan ?

today's test paper

Crystal is 3yr 2mo

14.5kg ....... 97cm

Mom : Crystal, you said you're gonna sleep with grandma tonite.
Crys : I'd rather sleep with mama tonite.
Mom : Didn't you say one nite with mama, one nite with grandma? last nite you slept with mama. then tonite it's grandma's turn, rite?
Crys : we change to 2 nites with mama and 2 nites with grandma. ok?
Mom : Okey .. then 2 nites with mama, means tomorrow nite you'll sleep with grandma. deal?
Crys : deal
G'pa : So, it's 2 nites with mom, 2 nites with grandma. tomoro nite don't say, 3 nites with mama, and 3 nites with grandma. it's better each one nite, much easier to remember, rite?
Crys : (*smile and no comment*)


there's owl picture on Crystal's book. dont know why, she doesnt like owl. she used to say, "owl ..heehhh.. very scary..very scary ...". she used trembling voice to say it and covered her face.


sometimes Crystal is lazy to brush teeth at nite. and most of the time i don't have much energy left to deal with her refusing to brush teeth. so sometimes i need to scare her this way: "you have eaten some marshmellow just now. if you dont brush your teeth, owl will come and peck on your teeth." this works at least for now. logical explanation about teeth will not work at this moment.


some other time, she refuses to cover her feet with blanket, while these days the weather turns cooler. logical explanation also doesnt work here. like, if your feet are not covered, you might catch a cold or bla..bla..bla... so sometimes i have to scare her like this, "if you dont want to cover your feet, let mosquito bite you. mama won't care" or "let owl come and peck your feet." okey.. this works.


on Saturday we lunched at a restaurant for Smarty's 4th bday.
after returning home, Crystal prentended calling the waitress.
"hello, Auntie. we got home already. we took taxi.
now i'm playing with mom and Angie on the bed.
Daddy is sleeping in the middle room.
i hang up the phone now. ok?"


often i think she is too dependent on me.
i always try to let her do things by herself. for example: pee, wearing pants, eating.
but often, if i am around, she will ask me to feed her, or to do something for her.
if i take her out with Angie, when seeing her classmate, she refuses to play with her. while the kid of our neighbor was pulling Crys' arm, asking her to play together. i always try to encourage her to play with other kids, but Crystal prefers to hang around with me.

maybe i should control myself not to be too playful with kids, which are too hard to resist. i always enjoy playing with kids.


another thing, if we go down stairs, Crystal only wants her mom to hold her hand, not other people. so i have to go down stairs with Angie in my arms and holding Crystal's hand at the same time. i dont want to risk her falling on the stairs. but if we go to the park, i try as much not to hold her hand, just walk beside her to make sure she is safe. if she wants me to hold her hand, instead, i encourage her to walk by herself, sometimes touch her head or back to let her know i'm still beside her (though she knows i am beside her). usually it works this way.


one nite before bed time, grandma let Crytal have yoghurt.
mom: if you have yoghurt now, then later on you will not have milk. ok?
Crys : hmmm... i dont want yoghurt. i want milk.
mom: ok .. ok .. you have the yoghurt, later on i let you drink your milk
(i thought she might forget later on).
mom: Crystal, let's brush teeth.
Crys: (*was playing*) didn't you say you will let me drink milk? you lie to me. (*still playing*)
mom: oh.. mama really forgot it, i'm sorry my dear. (*her daddy blinked at me. we couldn't help smiling behind her*)
so i prepared about 80cc milk for her.

Angie -- 9 months

13-Aug-08
Angie began to clap hands in her 8th months. however, she clapped with one open-hand, the other was clenching.
now she can clap hands normally. since the day before, her grandma opened her clenching hand while she was clapping.


15-Aug-08
crawl officially!
congratulation yah, nak!
she also likes to grasp anything and then stands up.

19-Aug
these few days she was saying 'papa', 'mama'. but not specifically calls either daddy or mommy.

when came back from office, i was sending important email to customer, she, on her baby-walker tried to walk into our room, but stuck at the door, she was mumbling, "mama .. mama..".
but mostly when i taught her say, 'mama..mama', she said, "papa!"

her grandpa taught her counting 1 to5 by pointing at fingers.
if we ask her to count, she would pointed on her own fingers as if she were counting.

she calls her big sister 'ji-ji' or 'je-je' (should be jie-jie 姐姐).
she does call her big sis specifically. yes, mama taught Angie to call her big sis since the very beginning when Angie came back from indonesia (feb-2008).

25-Aug
pointing at things she knows with her index finger.
if i ask her, "where's daddy and mommy's picture? where's the lamp?" she will point with her finger.


one day, mama came home from work, Angie was in her baby-walker. mama was washing hands. while she followed with her baby walker, pulling mama's short pants and whining, wanted to be picked-up. so adorable!


potty
mostly pee and poop on potty already.
wear diaper for sleep at night.


sleep till morning
mostly sleep on around 11pm and wake up the next morning on around 6.30am.
these days, when sleeps at night, Angie doesn't need nursing anymore.
when bed time comes, we put her on the bed, she will roll left and right, then falls asleep by herself.

Toy and Box

While a student, i liked to use other used-things to make birthday cards, wrap a present, or made some small decoration for my room.
As a mom, now I like to use bottles, medicine boxes, cake boxes, etc. for playing and having fun with my daughters.




Below are short and (I think) useful reading, from the book "Brain Child: how smart parents make a smart kids" written by Tony Buzan (author of "mind maps for kids") .
Expensive Toy and Cardboard Box
Another manifestation of child's limitless creative abilities, and of our adult trained-away-from-the-child-thinking occurs regularly at present-giving times.

Parents / relatives often go to extreme trouble (not to mention expense) to find latest new toy that has bright colors and a number of working parts. What causes adult confusion is the fact that the child will, with all his senses, devour the toy in a few minutes, and then discard it. For the next hour, day and often week, the child will then play with the box.

The beautifully colored toy often has a rigid structure, only a few working parts, and often only one or two functions or uses. It may be battery-operated and just be for looking at.

What about the box?
For a child's creative imagination: it could be a boat, a car, a spaceship, the entrance to a giant cave, a sled, a hideaway, a house, and so on ..
Each one of possibilities opening up the possibilities for infinite adventures of the imagination.

Provide your child with toys that stimulate, expand and encourage the development of his imagination, rather than toys that bore or restrict. Look around your home for playthings – there's no need to spend a lot of money on toys. Used yoghurt pots, egg cartons, washing-up bottles, measuring jugs, and a plethora of other kitchen items can be used in the child imaginative play.

There is no need to provide suggestions, just provide the raw materials and let the child use his imagination. ***


Crystal and Smarty use our television box as their house, they put stools and sit in it. another time, they use the box as their train and go to Beijing, Nanjing, everywhere else. last year, Crystal and Smarty played with birthday cake cardboard. they sat inside the boxes and said they were taking bath in a washing basin. another time, Crystal put the cake box on her shoulder and walked around the house saying that she was delivering goods.

below was a bus i made for Crystal from cough medicine box, which she liked it very much. i made this because she was fighting with Smarty over a bus toy.

i pretty much agree that we dont have to always spend money buying toys. our kids could also be very happy to play with things inside the house, by their imagination, those things become other things.

a door grip becomes water dispenser; a bicycle basket becomes a microwave; a sand digger becomes a giant-spoon for eating; etc.

a beautiful day

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: 'I am blind, please help.' There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?'

The man said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.'

What he had written was: 'Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.'

the first sign simply said the boy was blind. the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story:

Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

METODE BARU ATFG-8
Waktu pulang indo Oktober 2007, dari bokap baru mengetahui ada metode pengobatan baru yang namanya ATFG-8; metodenya berupa pemijatan. (silakan check link-nya untuk lebih detail soal metode pemijatan ini).
percaya gak percaya .. ternyata manjur lho!

ponakanku, punya asma, turunan dari nyokapnya.
menjalani terapi dengan ATFG-8 ini, bulan pertama, pemijatan sekali seminggu. bulan kedua, 2 kali seminggu, bulan ketiga sekali sebulan. baru pemijatan 2 bulan pun udah gak pernah kumat lagi asmanya.

adikku sendiri ada rematik. terus menjalani terapi ATFG-8 ini juga. baru juga pijat beberapa kali, rematiknya pun hilang. biayanya juga lumayan terjangkau, konon sekali datang Rp 70 ribu. daftar dulu, baru diatur jadwalnya.

RI independent day; Crystal watched olyimpic games

finally indo men's double presented a gold medal as country's birthday gift.
too bad the mix-dobules didnt got gold medal either.

Dirgahayu RI !

Mudah2an tahun-tahun mendatang pemerintahnya bisa lebih memperhatikan kesejahteraan rakyatnya, sehingga RI bisa terus bertumbuh, bukannya terus terpuruk.


intermezzo during watching the men's doubles match between indo and china
Mom : jing-jing, mama is supporting indo's players. do you support them?
Crystal: no (*thinking*)
Mom : ooh.. so which country are you supporting?
Crystal: china (*with small voice. she might feel a lill doubtful bcoz of having different idea than her mom*)
Mom : but mom is indo. wouldn't you help mom support indo? indo hasnt got any gold medal till now. china already got so many golds.
Crystal: okey. (*clapping her hands to support indo's players*)


when mama was just back from indo (Feb-2008), Crystal was busy looking at mama and Angie's passport. mama also showed daddy's and her passport. so she knows exactly that Angie and mom are indonesians, while her daddy and she are having Chinese nationality.


while watching medal ceremony on tv, Crystal stood on her plastic chair, hold up both her arms as if she were receiving the medal. hahahahaa.... very cute !


while Guo Jingjing performed at women's 3m springboard diving final, mama said, "Jing-jing, this is Guo Jingjing, that mommy often tells you about her. arent you supporting her?" Crystal ran to get her 5-star-red-flag and waved it to show her support.


*the name of this athlete inspired Crystal's nickname. the 2nd daughter of my dad's boss also named Jing-jing. while a child, i liked this name so much. and Crystal likes to ask me to repeat the story about her nickname*

Angie's potty training

Angie has been potty-trained for about 3 weeks.
If we carry her to pee or poop, mostly she will refuse it, turn herself to other side or cry.

When sitting on potty, mostly she will pee (or poop) when it's time to.

she will stand up when done (with us holding her arms).

Her grandma dan grandpa feel so joyful and amazed.. every time seeing Angie sitting on the potty.

3rd and 4th tooth

hurraaaayyyy !!!

Angie got her third and fourth teeth!



love seeing her smile or laugh!

nyaris .. tapi sakit lagi

Aduuuuh... Crystal tuh sebenarnya Senin malam udah mulai sembuh. gak batuk, gak pilek, juga gak demam lagi.

taunya, semalam batuk malah jadi lebih parah. pagi ini bangun dengan keadaan demam 37.5celcius. lagi2 mesti siangan dikit ke kantor.

setelah opa nemeni ipar bawa Smarty ke Chinese doctor, baru deh oma bikin pengakuan ke aku dan suami.

selasa siang, oma lagi jagain Qiqi di kamar. terus tau2 denger opa nyuapin makan kedua anak. oma keluar dari kamar dan menemukan opa nyuapin mereka, memang sih udah beda sendok.

opa langsung dimarahin oma, "apa gunanya sendok beda, tapi semangkok-berdua?"
opa jawabnya, "mereka berdua kan jenis penyakitnya serupa."
oma bilang, "jenis penyakit serupa, tapi yang satu sudah nyaris sembuh!"
tetapi tinggal tetapi .. nyuapinnya dah habis.

kata oma, pagi ini begitu dengar Crystal demam, opa tampangnya langsung ciut dan speechless. oma udah nahan2 diri gak cerita ke kita, takut ntar suami ribut sama papanya. mana si opa tuh darah tinggi.

opa tuh orangnya baik, tapi kadang emang kurang tau cara nangani anak2.

Si Smarty lagi-lagi kasian banget !!!
setelah bawa ke Shinshe, kudu infus lagi 4 hari. cuman jenis obatnya diganti. radang tenggorokannya agak parah, katanya udah luka dan ada nanahnya pula.

namanya jg anak kecil, susah kalo gak main bareng. aku tuh dah wanti2 Crystal, main sendiri di kamar aja, baca buku. mana bisa... Smarty kan pasti nyamperin ajak main.

Crystal sakit

Rabu dan Kamis lalu Smarty –cousinnya Crystal sakit FCF (fever-cough-flu).
Siangnya, Oma nyuapin Smarty dan Crystal mie. Pakai sumpit dan sendok yang sama, ganti2an.
Kata Opa, “gapapa, kan batuknya karena radang. gak menular.”

Oaaalaaaa.. batuk dan pilek di mana2 tuh nular, Pak! Tinggal yang bersangkutan ketahanan tubuhnya gimana. Kalo anak kecil mah, biasanya paling rentan untuk urusan tular menular gini.
Smarty sakitnya makin parah, paginya, begitu bersin, ingusnya tebal, dan panjangnya mencapai 10 cm.

Dengan yang tadi malam, total dah infus 4 hari (kira-kira 2 jam/hari).
Semalam katanya meler dan mimisan agak banyak.
Aduuuh .. kasian banget si Smarty! mesti 4 kali ditusuk jarum infus.
Selain itu juga mesti makan beberapa jenis obat.
Nih anak emang rada gampang sakit sejak dulu.

Crystal yang tadinya sehat-sehat aja .. yah.. tertularlah! FCF juga.
sabtu siang muntah 2 kali. Terus demam dan diberi penurun panas.
Begitu demamnya reda, eh.. udah ceria lagi. Bilang ke omanya, “Oma, aku dah sembuh!”

malam demam lagi. Minum 2 jenis obat, karena berturutan, muntah lagi.
demamnya sekitar 39.4 derajat.
Suami langsung panik bilang besok mesti infus ke klinik kecil dekat rumah.
Aku dah sering ngadepin kayak gini. Kali ini memilih diam aja, daripada ujung2nya beradu mulut.

Setelah makan bubur lagi dan sehabis tidur beberapa saat, diberi lagi obat penurun panas.
Paginya kita bawa ke RS provincial, aku gak setuju berobat di klinik, ala kadarnya. Apa2 langsung suruh infus. Justru itu yang pengen aku hindari.

demamnya mencapai 40 derajat. Suami minta infus ke dokternya.
Lega banget rasanya waktu setelah test darah, dokter bilang,
“gak ada guna infus. Efeknya sama aja dengan makan obat.”
Suami tuh kawatir dia muntah terus, gak ada asupan makanan.

Jadi hari minggu, aku full urus si Crystal dari makan sampai minum obat.
Dia tuh sempat muntah sekali, gara2 oma maksain minum obat yang dia tolak.
Oma-nya sampai marah-marah. Oaaalaaah ..!

Crystal tuh gitu kalo makan obat. Gak bisa dipaksa. Kalo dipaksa, hampir pasti bakal muntah.
Jadi mesti sabar-sabar, bujuk-bujuk, nego-nego dulu ama dia.
daripada apa yang udah susah payah dimakan malah keluar lagi.

hari ini juga agak siangan ngantor (ambil jatah cuti menyusui). Urus dia makan dan minum obat dulu. Pagi dia udah main dengan ceria bersama Smarty.

Terus Qiqi tuh diupayakan dikarantina dari kedua kakaknya itu. kasian .. Qiqi jadi gak ada tempat hanging out.

Gua benar2 berharap Smarty itu jangan gampang sakit. selain karena sering nular...
kasian banget lihat anak sekecil itu sakit2an mulu. makan obat mulu.

Dia tuh sakitnya banyak .. umur 2 tahun udah menjalani operasi testis karena agak besar.
Terus waktu tahun baru imlek Februari 2008 (berumur nyaris 2.5 tahun), gak tahu kenapa, usus kecilnya masuk ke dalam usus besar. Jadi pengobatannya dengan cara mengalirkan air lewat anus. Sampai tiga kali baru berhasil keluar.
Kebayang gak penderitaannya?!!!
saat itu aku lagi di kampung halaman, setelah balik sini dan dengar ceritanya sampai nangis.

Dan Smarty itu bener2 tabah!
Makan obat juga jarang2 ngeluh, pahit pun ditelan dengan tabah. kadang2 nolak juga sih. tapi lebih gampang dibujuk soal minum obat.
Terus belakangan katanya dia juga kena asma.


Aduh nak .. kenapa kamu harus menderita gini yah!
kalo aku masih punya ekstra energi, biar aku aja yang ngerawat dia sehari-hari.

Selain itu juga suka kasian .. mak dan bapaknya tuh kalo hari kerja suka pulang malam banget.
Sering ada acara makan di luar.
Kadang dia suka nyeletuk, “kok mamaku belom datang. Kok papaku belom datang.”
Oma tuh kadang kalo bete juga suka nambahin, “papa mamamu gak mau kamu!”

Aku kadang suka negur si oma, supaya jangan ngomong kayak gitu. Kasian, kan anak kecil, takut psikisnya tidak tumbuh dengan sehat.

benjol

Bangun dengan kepala sakit (kayaknya Pre-MS).
Suami bawa kedua putri kecil jalan2 ke taman.
Setelah pusing agak berkurang, si mak pun menyusul.
Berhubung terlihat mendung, payung pun dimasukkan ke ransel kecil yang biasanya buat isi celana si Qiqi.

turun tangga sambil sms ke si ibu boss, mau nanyain keadaan suaminya.
Begitu sampai di bawah, ternyata hujan. sms ditunda dulu.

Nyari payung, buru2 mau jemput anak dan suami. Takut si kecil pada kehujanan.
Tahu-tahu... "dug...!!!"
Aduuuh! Jidat kejeduk 2 batang kayu.
Ternyata toko wedding service di samping flat lagi reno.

Alamak .. sial betul ! sakit betul !!!
langsung benjol .. lebih gede dari keping cepek jaman dulu.
Huhu ... ! sampai sekarang kalo diraba2 masih sakit.

i eat everything .. feed me .. !

Qiqi -- 8 months

Wah, gak kerasa yah.. tau2 dah 8 bulan aja!
Dulu setelah 8 bulan, Crystal udah stop asi.
Gara2 waktu tuh maknya sering tugas keluar kota, si oma takut Crystal nagih pas maknya lagi gak di rumah. takut gak bisa nanggulangi. (nyesal juga maknya, mestinya lanjut aja sebisanya)

Qiqi masih lanjut asi-nya. Walaupun kayaknya produksi menurun. di kantor masih diperas dan dibawa pulang buat esoknya.

dulu pas Crystal, pernah coba peras asi, terus diberikan di hari berikutnya. tau2nya pertama kali nyoba, si Crystal muntah. dulu kirain asi-nya basi. akhirnya perasan asi di kantor selalu dibuang. setelah nyoba lagi dg Qiqi, kupikir kayaknya dulu mungkin memang kebetulan aja hari itu si Crystal gak fit.

jadi Crystal dpt asi gak sebanyak Qiqi. dulu Qiqi tuh full ASI 3 bulan. kalo Crystal sejak lahir dah campur formula. ini juga gara2 si oma selalu bilang jangan ngutang susu ke si kecil. mak baru tau setelah waktu baca petunjuk rs theresia (jambi), kalo asi di 4 bulan pertama sudah mencukupi. dan ternyata selama 3 bulan pertama (masa cuti) memang cukup kok. asal sehabis nyusuin, maknya langsung "isi bensin".

kayaknya giginya masih 2 yang di bawah. yang di atas masih belom nongol.

Qiqi dah bisa duduk dari posisi tengkurep. mulai dikit2 merangkak, walaupun sering "keperosot" jadi tengkurap lagi.

tgl 24-Jul maren, mulai bisa tepuk tangan (kalo disuruh). tepuk tangannya lucu, yang tangan kiri, biasa .. yang kanan mengepal. setelah nepuk beberapa kali, dia akan menggengam kedua tangan di depan dada buat gerakan "gongxi" (kionghi).

paling gak suka dipakain topi. kalo dipakain, bisa dicopot dalam sekian detik.

masih tahap gemar merobek tisu atau kertas.
tahap gemar memakan apa saja agak berkurang.

sekarang maknya mulai mendudukkan di pispot kalo pipis atau pup. kalo waktunya pas, dia akan pipis atau pup. tapi kalo lagi gak ada, dia akan meronta2, menggeliat kayak ulet.

yang lucu kalo digendong papa-nya. sekarang kan lagi summer. kalo di rumah, papanya suka gak pakai baju. kalo gendong si Qiqi, tangannya langsung menjambak bulu ketek papanya. itu suka dijadiin alesan oleh papanya supaya gak usah gendong. soalnya si kecil kalo maknya di rumah, gak mau digendong papanya.

kalo gendong Qiqi jadi gampang keringatan, Qiqi tuh kayak ulet, suka menggeliat, suka muter2in badannya, suka manjat ke badan yang gendong. kalo misal maknya mau ngelakuin sesuatu, minta papanya or oma/opa buat gendong, si Qiqi langsung membuang atau menyembunyikan mukanya atau menjambak kencang2 baju maknya. kalo sudah pindah tangan, langsung merengek2. udah gitu, papanya suka lupa dipipiskan, jadi sering kena ompol. hihihi..

pernah sekali papanya bilang, "mama gak mau kamu." eeh.. Qiqi langsung nangis. terus papanya bilang, "iya deh..mama mau sama kamu." berhenti nangis. terus papanya coba lagi, "mama gak mau sama kamu." eeh..nangis lagi. "oh..oh..mau deh..mau deh...". berhenti nangis.
seolah2 dia ngerti apa yang kita omongkan.

Qiqi biasanya lebih anteng kalo diajak mandi atau diajak duduk di kursi goyang.

wanna eat xiao-man-tou

i can sit more stably now

masih tentang orang yg nyebelin

berhubung sama2 cewek, jadi kita sekamarlah di hotel. duuh... gua dari dulu emang suka berasa gak nyaman kalo dekat2 die. bawaan aura kali yah ... hahahaha..!

lagi 'dapet' tuh die-nya. terus pipis tuh berapa kali gak nyirem. jadi tiap gua mau pipis kedapetan toilet tuh ada 'ampao' nya. keki juga! sementara gua tuh bukan tipe orang yang blak-blakan langsung negur. sutralah .. mestinya kayak ginian kesadaran sendiri aja.

di sini wc-nya wc kering semua. kalo gua tuh, kalo lagi dapet, ngebuang pun at least dibungkus2 dulu lah, biar gak vulgar. tapi di sini orang2 tuh di mana pun, buang yah langsung aja buang dengan vulgar, jadi "menganga" gitu deh pembalutnya.

gua tuh suka mual kalo lihat yang begituan. mbok.. rapi dikit, kasian orang lain yg mau gak mau, terpaksa gak terpaksa mesti ngelihat. atau kasian orang2 yang tugasnya ngebersihin toilet. udah gajinya kecil, mesti ngebersihin tisu2 bekas kita, mesti lihat pula panorama 'ampao' gitu. mending kalo ampaonya berduit.

Angie .. separation anciety?

when mama came back home, Cyrstal of course was the first one to greet mama. then she said, "Mama, did you buy a new watch?" Cyrstal, as usual, always has good observation ability.

yeah... while waiting for my flight for nearly 2 hours at Pudong Airport (Shanghai), i looked into those duty free stores. finally, bought one .. which was not 5 or 8 yuans. :")


while taking off my shoes, i called Angie. Angie was in grandma's arms. she was observing mama for some time, probably thinking .. "who's this? looks so familiar!" she put her face on grandms's shoulder, smiled shily. after half a minute, she reached her arms to mama.

grandma said Angie was very fine during 3 nites sleep without mama. no separation anciety. when she woke up in the middle of the nite, they just let her drink some water. then she fell asleep again.

never being fussy for these 3.5 days. thank you my dear for not giving hard time to grandpa and grandma. =)

lupa diri

- isi posting sebelumnya aku hapus, terus terang menyesal sudah nulis posting ini. walau istrinya rada2 gimana gitu .. barusan (1-Aug-2008) dengar kabar suaminya sakit. kasian..., mudah2an gapapa dan cepat sembuh -

gigiku ... oh gigiku ...!

seandainya boleh minta sama Tuhan, aku pengen minta ganti gigi nih! kata dokter, gigiku rapuh. aku rasa 80% gigiku sudah tambal sulam semua. hiks...! (*sighhhhh*)

seandainya suruh nyanyi lagunya meggi z, aku akan nyanyi gini...

daripada sakit gigi, lebih baik sakit di hatiiiii... biar tak mengapa.

suer, sakit gigi itu paling gak enak deh. menderita deh! mending sakit hati, dengerin musik or jalan2 bentar juga dah okeh kok.

tgl 1 dan 10 Juli lalu aku check up ke dokter gigi. ada 3 gigi yang ditambal, 1 gigi lagi diobati dulu baru ditambal. total habis 400 yuan. rata2 per gigi 100 yuan, atau 130 ribu rp.
murah sih .. kalo di indo, 20 tahun lalu aja tambal gigi dah kena 75ribu per gigi.

this is Crystal's favorite story lately. sometimes mama could tell this story for more than 5 times a day. so mama change the method, let her tell the story.
