suatu pagi bersama Barney dan sepasang ikan mas

Friday, a fun day :) (extra #3)

Jumat yang menyenangkan.
Pergi ke supermarket naik becak untuk beli keperluan lomba menghias nasi goreng besok di sekolah. Esha SUKA sekali naik becak :D Sebelum masuk supermarket -seperti biasa- dia minta main dulu di playground. Enaknya kalau hari kerja, playground serasa milik berdua :)) Sesudah itu kami belanja (dan dia bilang "capek, bu... jalan terus." karena saya tidak pakai trolley tapi keranjang biasa :p). Lalu akhirnya dia saya ajak istirahat sambil makan kentang goreng.

Saya sukaaaa sekali jalan-jalan berdua dengan Esha. Dia hampir tidak pernah rewel (kecuali ngantuk) dan tidak banyak minta. Kalau belanja, dia bantu saya meletakkan barang di keranjang dan jarang sekali berlarian di lorong atau menyentuh barang-barang yang tidak kami beli. Dia teman kencan yang sangat menyenangkan :)

Love you, sweetheart :*

lihat juga foto hari ke-14 Esha di tumblr :)

turning it inside out (extra #2)

I liked the routine this morning. No rush, no stress, no tantrum. Ahhh... But as we were halfway to the school, one of Esha's friend's mom pulled over and told us that it was a swimming class today (which means we were supposed to go to the swimming pool instead of to the school). How come none of the teacher called me after Esha's three consecutive absence? Oh well, maybe it was supposed to be me who called them -_-" So we headed back home then I grabbed the backpack, stuffed the swimming necessities in it, and borrowed my mother-in-law's electric bike. When we got to the pool, everybody was already in the water.

I forgot to bring my camera. Poop. Ah, it's a monthly schedule. Will remember to bring the shutter with me next month :p

When the class ended, we still had an hour to grab McD's breakfast menu, but Esha wasn't in the mood for an eating out. So we went straight back home. It was then after lunch when we tore the bedroom apart for a photo session :)) The wind went crazy and the light was under so we took pictures inside. Horrible lighting. But, we had tons of fun afterall :)

extra #1

Ini hari pertama untuk 365 Days-nya Esha. Saya juga jadi agak bingung kenapa harus disimpan di tumblr lalu apa gunanya blog ini kemudian? Baiklah... begini saja, saya memutuskan untuk hanya mem-post satu foto saja setiap hari ke tumblr dan kelebihannya akan saya simpan disini beserta catatan tambahannya. Kalau tidak ada foto tambahan, semua cerita hariannya akan saya post di tumblr.

Bagaimana? Fair enough? :p Sebenarnya saya sengaja pisahkan supaya tidak campur aduk dengan catatan-catatan lama disini dan lebih mudah dihitung.

Ini foto extra untuk hari ini:

Itu adalah foto bunga lavender yang dipetik Esha bersama sepupu-sepupunya tadi pagi. Sampai waktunya makan siang dia terus membawa-bawa protolan mahkota bunganya. Akhirnya menjelang sore semuanya layu dan saya buang. Untung dia tidak protes.
Yang kedua adalah kulit-kulit kacang yang bagian dalamnya diwarnai Esha pakai spidol. Sampai jari-jarinya dan kaos-nya ikut berwarna-warni. I think the nutshells look really artistically nice :) and love her idea.

Yang paling kanan, foto Esha main kuda-kudaan (sebenarnya bukan kuda, tapi buaya) di punggung ayahnya.

Tiga hari ini Esha bersenang-senang dengan sepupu-sepupunya. Glad she had so much fun! :)

all the funny faces

yeah, she loves doing it :)

.

the top two were taken when we had a lunch in a foodcourt. i showed her a candid snapshot of her funny face then she asked me to do some more. only it wasn't candid anymore :))

the bottom two were taken when she couldn't fall asleep for her nap. we played around with 'Esha and the three bears' story (yes, originally Goldilocks :p ) then she just improvised :))
