Happy Chinese New Year 2015
Ushering the year of sheep
Yesterday was Reunion Dinner, since it's ash Wednesday too, we just had humbly dinner at home with meatless meal.
Today, we ushering new year with mass at church.
Father Peter gave us beautiful message, would you like to be a sheep who draws himself steadily closer to God or would you like to be a goat who draws further from the cross and busy with his own worries. The choice is yours
And we had family lunch at Ayam Malioboro

Breastfeeding weaning breakthrough (18.5 mos)
Phewww finally, mommy has decided that this is the right time for him to learn self soothe without breast.
So starting over the weekend, Tromson slept with papa and it's difficult for him to settle down and he woke up several times at night.
But miracle happened last night, after family praying, I put the holy water to tromson forehead and pray so that Mother Mary protects him from nightmare and keeps an eye on him so he can sleep through till morning.
Then I also told him please don't look for mommy, let your papa sleep peacefully also
Mommy was so worried that he still wakes up several times and disturb papa's sleep because papa needs to work in the morning
Praise God, at 5.30am, papa came to koko's room where mommy slept over there and woke mommy up to accompany Tromson since papa needed to bath and went to church afterwards
And when mommy asked papa how's last night. Papa said it's good, he basically didn't really wake up, he just open his eyes to check whether anyone accompanied him
The night after, he cried for almost 15 minutes around 1am and papa has been trying to calm him down by carrying around or cuddling but it didn't work. So papa let him cry until he's tired
On the day during the nap, he cried for almost half an hour before finally settling down by himself
It took 1 hour for him to settle down without any pacifying effort
Keep it up Tromson ! I know you can do it !

One fine sunday afternoon (15 feb 2015)
Yesterday afternoon we went to Garden by the bay for some walks
The kids played at children's playground for awhile then we strolled down the river before heading to vivocity for dinner
Then before we went back home, Tromson and koko Richie played car ride and it's first time for him driving alone
We had a great time together yesterday since the weather was also nice and cooling

Learning Color props
This next upcoming weeks, mommy wants to introduce him about basic color : red, orange, yellow, green and blue.
I reckon he recognizes red color but we will see with this activities adopted from Brown Bear book : Brown bear what color do you see ?
Mommy has prepared these treasure sensory box according to its color. With the help of two borrowed books from library and color flashcard hopefully it can make the learning more fun.
Mommy has no expectation for him to recognize color instantly, it will be a bonus if he can otherwise it's just for introduction and let his brain absorb every info, digest it and when he's ready, I believe he will be able to recognize all the color

What keep him busy @ Church
Tromson is the little explorer, he doesn't care time and place as long as he can explore the surrounding. And it's in church, it's like "must" to stay still and not disturbing others therefore mommy's creating this "sticker book" from sketch book and bringing this transportation stickers to keep him stay in his chair during the mass.
Well, at least it can keep him busy for 20 minutes

Threading and tracing
This two days activities are still around threading and tracing.
1. Inserting straws into tumbler hole
He can do it easily because the hole is bigger than the straw.
2. After sometimes, since he manages it well, he uses his imagination to make drum and sticks using the tumbler and straw and pretends to play it
3. This is more advance, threading pipe cleaner to small beads
He manages to do it into 1 bead and repeat the process
