my songs

lil-B is 'too' good in listening then remembering any songs. and like we all know, its hard to find toddler & kids' songs now in indonesia. she learn toddle & kid's song from her preschool in english, from VCD/DVD Barney and friends. so its easy for her to sing an 'hot' adult song, nowday...

she sings
'head-shoulder-mie-and-toes, mie and toes'

no honey...it shoud be 'head-shoulders-knees and toes'

no mama, mie and toes...mie and toes, gitu....

mie is noodles, like mie ceker or mie ayam, knee is lutut... mie and knee are so-so different..

TIDAk mama, NO...its mie...not knee..

OK-OK..try another song....

she sings
'pernah kah kau merasa....hatimu kosong..' she dance like the dancer in the video clip.

stop..stop..., lets try another..

she sings
'tak gendong kemana-mana...tak gendong kemana-mana...enak to...'

then her father says, 'bian, dont you have any toddler's song?'

'YES I DO have a toddler song, hear my song...
Ce Aminor Deminor ke Ge ke Ce lagi..ck-ck...ck-ck-ck...'

LOL!!

moral of the stoty is its really hard to find a ear-catching toddler song now.... she only has Tasya's VCD

showing anger

she learn to show us her anger, by saying 'tidak mau'--'gak mau'. 'dont want to'

when i asked her to take a bath,
she said, 'bian gak mau mandi..'----bian doesn't want to bath

when her daddy asked her to clean up her messy toys,
she replayed, 'bian tidak mau cleap up, pah...' ---- bian doenst wanna clean up, papa...

when i asked her to use her sandals
she said, 'no, tidak mau, mah....' --- 'no, i dont want to, mom...'

when daddy picked up her at school,
she refused by saying, 'no, papa...gak mau naik mobil papa, mau naik taksi' ---- 'no, papa, i dont wanna use papa's car. i wanna use taxi...'

when bian n i wanted to go home from my office, we stopped a taxi...
she commented, 'mom, kok taksinya merah, mau yang pink?' ---- 'mom, why do u choose red taxi, i wanna the yellow one.'

she said the 'gak-mau' words with lil-high-tone n her face 'merengut'

KOK?

as i remembered, bian started to ask with word 'KOK' as a first question mark in a couple weeks before her 3rd birthday.

the questions are like

'kok mama kerja?' 'why does mommy go to work?'
'kok naik motor?' 'why do we use motorcycle?'

or the simple one

'kok gitu, mah?' 'why does it like that, mommy?'

and i realized that 'kok' means like why...

we try to answer every single question with 'kok' as a guestion mark.
meaning, she learn to analize something autodidact.

then,
last couple days..
when she got fever, because of 'gabakan', she asked me to go to toilet. she needed to pee.
then we saw a earthworm on the floor. i threw a bowl of water to flush it into the toilet's hole.

'kok ada cacing, ma?' 'why is there a worm, mom?'

'coz, there's a hole, so it can come in, honey.'

'kok disiram, mah?' ..'why do you need to flush it, mom?'

'cos, we need to send it back to the ground. it cant live on the floor.'

'o, gitu ya...tapi kok-kok aku takut sama cacing, ma?' 'i see, but, why-why am i affraid of the worm, mom?'

then..i'm speechless...coz i really-really dont know why she's affraid of the worm.

'mhm..i dont know honey, maybe cos u've never seen a worm on our toilet, maybe...how do you think?'

'aku gak takut kok.' 'i'm not affraid, yes i do..'

LOL!

bian learn to eat spicy food

its really amazed me, for honest. cos in the same time, i start to worry about her tasty, she likes the sweet and choco. for example she will choose choco bread than banana bread, or she's hapier if u give her candy than a glass of juice.

her tooth are the things that i'm worried most about.

until yesterday, she refused to sleep because her papa bought chicken-noodle. she waited her papa patiently. when she asked for a spoon of noodle, her papa said, 'oh..honey, its quite spicy.'

yep... the seller put the chili on the top of the noodle.

out our expectation, she still wanted to taste it..
the she put the noodle on the spoon and then ate it slowly...and i prepared a glass of water.
she drank the water immediately after she swallowed the noodle

hahaha...
she ate more than 5 spoons, FYI....
wow... she pass the first test!

then, today
after she took a nap, she woke up and saw me eating a spicy keripik singkong, that i bought from warung padang after lunch.

then,
she grabbed a piece of keripik singkong...and then she run for a glass of water.
she brought the glass of water to me, and put it on the table.

then,
she grabbed another piece of keripik....swallowed it...and drank the water
she did it more than 5 times..

OK, she had her second spicy test in 24 hours.
good!

and i think she passed the 2nd test, also.

5 minutes after the last keripik singkong, she asked me to tear a choco bar.

'what do you think, B, which one it the most delicious, spicy keripik singkong or choco bar?'

'spicy keripik singkong-laa....' she answered and ate the choco bar in the same time.

'oh, really...'

'hehe..no mama, i like the choco bar most...'

OK..
atleast u have tried the spice food, already..
