Welcoming the Dry (or Hot?) Season

The rainy season has come to an end! Here is Nick playin' ball in our front yard!

SLIDES

Finally, after much procastinating, I assembled Nick's Little Tikes slide set yesterday. He played with it all afternoon yesterday and this morning he figured out how to use the slide properly (he was sliding down head first yesterday!).

SPLASH!

Fun Playdates

We had the perfect weather for outdoor swimming today so we went to Emma's apartment today and spent a few hours there. Nick went swimming with Mama (Mama even did a few laps on her own - way to go Mama ^_^) and then played with Emma for a while. They also ate their dinner together (yummy fried rice made by Mbak Mul - no chilli and MSG, a bit plain for mama, but perfect for Nick and Emma).

We haven't met Auntie Lulu and Emma for a few weeks and Auntie Lulu said that Nick's face has changed a bit. She seems to think that Nick's face is getting longer... moving toward a more oval and less square-ish shape. Also, he's taller (which is true because Nick has grown 2 cm in the past month). But then, the other day Omi and Ie-Ie Mei2x said that Nick was getting "rounder" (both face and body). Mama is a bit confused now... hee hee hee...

Happy 16th Months!

Nick is 16 months today! Mama took Nick to High Scope Book Celebration Day where he met some of Mama's students and fellow teachers. Nick was very shy so he refused to shake hands with them. He saw half of the show and played for a while in the playground. Here is a pic of Nick at HS playground.

Storytelling and Puppet Show at HSAI

We went to High Scope Alfa Indah Book Celebration Day. To end their book celebration month the students put up various performances based on the books that they read this month. Parents and teachers were invited to come and they also held a book fair in the school compound. The students did a very good job and put up a very nice performance (oh, they made all the props, too!).

When Momma was away...

Nanny put Nick in a cupboard!

Lunch @ Sushi Tei

Nick loves the Japanese sticky rice, grilled fish, and chawan mushi at Sushi Tei. Here is a pic of Nick on our last trip there. Last week I also took him to my fave restaurant, Beautika, and confidently ordered Tinutuan for Nick. Unfortunately, he didn't like it. I was a bit surprised and a teeny bit disappointed coz' I craved for it during my pregnancy (so I thought he would love it!). There were times when I HAD to stop and get it every time I passed by the restaurant. I would eat the porridge in the car and regretted that I didn't get two portions instead of one. Hee hee hee...
