my 3rd birthday party

(I'm ready for party!)

couldn't wait for this in weeks :) Mommy promised me to get a spiderman cake, so we went to Kroger 2 days before to pick out a cake for me. I was confused when we didn't bring the cake home. Mommy said we'll pick it up on Sunday. Tante Shien also made me the spiderman cupcakes, so yuuummmyy... eventhough the icing color turned out to be pink, because tante Shien didn't want to put a lot of coloring on them :)


Daddy went out in the morning to pick up the cake and got me an Incredible's Birthday balloon!


(goodie bags for my friends)

I couldn't wait for my party to get started, and then Quinny came with his dad, mom and uncle. He brought a gift that would be a surprise for me :). Then some of friends came by like Andrew, Matthew, Michael, Abby, Gavin, Jacelyn, Adithe, Glen and Sammy. Daddy's and Mommy's friends were there too. It was a blast to have some of my friends came for my birthday, and they all brought some special presents for me.


The food is also great. Mommy made macaroni schottel (it's Grandma's recipe), oma Aychu made mie goreng, om Dudud made martabak telor, tante Bebe made chili dog nachos, Matt's grandma made some corn soup, and tante Ria made a delicious desert of konyaku jelly with cocopandan syrup and condense milk.


We had time for making crafts after lunch. We made Christmas ornaments that you could put your picture on it. And my friends made that for me too.

The best part is when Mommy and tante Shien brought the cake out. The one we picked has a Spiderman candle on it, and tante Shien's cupcakes were spectacular. It has this little Spiderman on top of each cupcake. Then, finally.. I blew the candle.. yaaayyy I'm 3 years old.





When the time for picture came, you know how hard it would be to get together all kids in all good postition, but we get the best that we can :)

Thanks to all my friends for coming to my party, also daddy's and mommy's friends who helped with the food and everything. I had a wonderful time.

a day after my 3rd birthday

8.45 am: doctor's visit...
I did a very great job at the doctor's office. I answered all the nurse's questions about my knowledge and abilities :) She asked whether I'm a boy or a girl, how old I am, can I stand on one foot, do I wear clothes on my own, and some other questions for Mommy like how much milk do I drink a day, how long do I sleep, am I a picky eater, and do I speak well... ofcourse :) but dr.Francis encourage me to speak Indonesian at home.
I checked out the drawers at the exam room while waiting on dr.Francis. I was going to get the the stethoscope out but Mommy said no and I only can get the wooden stick for checking on my mouth :)

When dr.Francis examined my belly, I felt a little ticklis :) She checked on my eyes, mouth and ears. And she gave Mommy some medication for my pimple. I am at more than 50% percentile on weight and height. dr.Francis said I'm a pretty tall boy.
I didn't pay attention when dr.Francis said I will get a flushot and a hepatitis vaccine today. Mommy just told me that the nurse will give me some medication through my nose. I was a little bit nervous about that. So she sprayed on my nose and I refused it the second shot, but they made me to get it anyway.
Then I had to laydown to get the vaccine. And surprisingly, it only sting a little bit. The nurse said I did an excellent job and didn't cry at all. She told me I can pick 2 prizes. I followed her while Mommy getting all the papers and coats. There're several things to pick, but I took 2 small yo-yos with a snowflake on each, and I gave one to Wyatt later on.


9.30 am: off to Wyatt's house for playgroup....
Jinx, Wyatt's black lab greet us and sniffing on my face, but it didn't bother me. He's a nice dog. I was the first one there. Then Caroline and her baby brother Michael came, Andrew, Alexander, Hope, Avery, Connor and his baby brother Owen, and Clara.
They're all sang happy birthday to me while we enjoyed our lunch. And Mommy gave a cupcake for each of us, and finished in seconds :), a box of wingko and klepon for each mom, and goodie bags for all my friends.
Wyatt gave me a pair of waterproof gloves and a motorized dinosaur for my birthday present.
12.15pm we're off to go home, and I was very sleepy and went straight to bed for nap.
Later I will spend the whole evening with Daddy, and couldn't wait for my birthday party on Sunday :)

my 3rd birthday!

woo hooo...
Today is my 3rd birthday. I am so exciting that I become more and more independent. I'm proudly announce that I'm 99.9% potty trained :) I never wear diapers anymore except during the night, or in some cases that Mommy thought I needed to. I can go to the potty on my own at home. I can wear clothes, socks and shoes, even buttoned my shirt. I always brush my teeth my self every night. I help Mommy hold the door, sweep the kitchen floor, and many other things.
I can spell my name, read most of the alphabets and numbers, know right or left (but I still mix it up sometimes :)), I say please, thank you, excuse me. I am very patient on every grocery trip. And the big accomplishment that had been my struggles are sleeping on my own bedroom and going to Xenos.

Everytime Daddy or Mommy asks me what I want for my birthday, I always ask for a Spiderman cake :) Mommy doesn't really like the idea, because I know nothing about Spiderman or any other superheros. But she'll go with me after Daddy insisted too.

Today I woke up early to say goodbye to tante Janet who's leaving to Jakarta. I'll miss her, eventhough I'll see her again in a couple weeks.
Grandma, Grandpa and Ommy called to say happy birthday to me, and I talk about Spiderman with Grandma that Mommy didn't know.
I'm so happy that today I got some presents from tante Janet: Rheneas and the Dinosaur (a motorized Thomas & Friends), a shirt, outerwear, a sandal, a Jeep control car and a birthday balloon. Wooww..

I also thank Daddy and Mommy who brought me some extention tracks for my rare set of Thomas & Friends. It's the blue track with some motorized trains. Daddy put up the tracks in my bedroom. It is so cool. I'll ask Daddy to take a picture and show you all.
Mommy got me a small monster truck Spiderman from the Dollar Tree when we're up shopping for some goodies. Nice buy :)

Mommy was very busy today. She made some cupcakes, wingko and klepon for my playgroup tomorrow. I help a little bit. Put the cup liners into the pan, pour the sprinkles, and check-out the wingko in the oven and tell Mommy when it's done.
Then we prepared the goodie bags together. It's a surprise so i can't tell you here :)

In the evening, we went to City Barbeque with Daddy, Mommy and om Richard. Om Richard gave us a free full slab coupon. So Daddy only paid $9 for the 3 side dishes and 2 drinks.

Later, Andrew and his dad came over and brought me a set of Christmas train, so I can put them under my Christmas tree. Yaayy! Thank you, Andrew. It was a great day today, especially because I get a sugar rush by eating some sweets when packing the goodie bags and drank the sweet ice tea from City Barbeque :)

Thanks Bebe and Dudud who tried to call me, but I didn't want to talk :) I just don't like to talk on the phone sometimes.

Tonight, Mommy and I prayed and giving thanks for all the best 3 years of my life. I am very thankful for having Daddy & Mommy who love me so much and also Grandpas, Grandma, Aunties, Uncles, and all Daddy & Mommy's friends who spoiled me sometimes :)

That's my 3rd birthday today.

Daddy had a photo shoot project at home, and when finished Matt & I are taking advantage of the setting and we had good times posing and playing with pinecones, while holding a fork :)

our christmas tree is up!

yaaay! Our Christmas tree is up and bright. I love it.

I couldn't wait yesterday when Mommy told me we're going to put our Christmas tree up.

And just after nap, Mommy, Daddy and I went to the basement to get the tree and the ornaments. I helped to carry the ornament, clean-up the space, and my favorite thing is I put the 'star' tree top by my self. Mommy and I were very busy putting things on the tree, and Daddy was busy taking my pictures :) But, Daddy hasn't take the picture of the finished tree.

I really looove my Christmas tree, because all of my little soft toys are up, and all the big fluffy soft toys are under the tree.

It is nice and bright. Mommy even put the boombox behind the tree, so I could start to learn some of Christmas songs.

I even start to read Christmas story with Mommy & Daddy. I am more excited about Christmas than my birthday next week.
