Playing with 'Coloring Paper'

Yesterday Ian was playing with lots of coloring paper while I was writing on my PC and here are what he made . He asked that I should upload them here... :)



my drawing book


I made a sharp kitchen knife for Mama (because he knew my knife was not sharp at all yesterday)




















my handphone




















spongebob need a pipe for breathing in the sea

hahaha...this one is I love the best!

Writing on Tissue

When we're sitting at a doughnut & coffee shop, Ian was writing these on the tissue. At first he asked me to read the sentences that printed on it and starting to write his ideas....





















It reads..."papa.mama.running from home.JCo.Jcool yogurt (he was eating this at that time)

this one reads... "papa.running to JCo. buying doughnut.yogurt.then mama is angry"

hahaha...funny little things and honest to say. I sometimes get angry to kids...
I'm glad he finally love to learn write.

His Special Prayer

I usually read bedtime story for Ian. I often asked him to pray before sleeping. Here’s his ‘usual’ prayer at most of the nights :
“God I want to go home soon. Please guide and protect me in my way home. Thank you God, in the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.”

I had ever said this to him couple of times,
“I think that’s a pray for going home, Ian.”
“I know, but I love that prayer. At my school I pray like that.”
“Ok”, I finally gave up.

Tonight.. to my surprised he said like this after his bedtime story :
“Ma, I won’t say my ‘after school pray’ tonight.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes, listen. I want to pray.
“God I want to sleep soon. Please guide and protect me in my way to sleep. Thank you God, in the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.”

Hahaha…
I almost laugh at that time. He only changed the word ‘home’ with ‘sleep’. Oh kid, kid…

Playing with Bed Sheet

I never had my bed sheet neat and tidy, most of the time…
Here’s the little kid who always mess up and love to play with the bedsheet. I don’t know exactly why, but he never did it at his own bed.. :)

The Rotterdam Port and Something about giving Trust

It’s really an old port in Makassar left by the Dutch colonialism. That’s why the name of the port is exactly the same with one of the city at the Netherlands. Makassar was used to be an important city because all the tropical spices from East Indonesian like pepper, clove, nutmeg, coriander, also coffee, tobacco, etc were all gathered there before shipped to Europe. Now the Rotterdam Port is not longer a port, but a museum. The architecture of the building is typically like Dutch buildings in common. When we’re standing in the middle of the area it just like we’re at one of the old city in the Netherlands, so interesting place.



I let my second boy to take all the pictures here.
Actually I want to know how was his own angle in taking pictures, because several times when I did it, he always asked his turn and take the same picture. At first I was a little worried if he did wrong, because we only came there once and I want to capture that moment as good as I can. Seems like an egoist mom, huh? Finally I realized to give him a chance and let him ‘dominate’ the camera. I think it was all about how big I trust on him. After all I was a little bit surprised to see all the pictures he had taken. They're good for a beginner, aren’t they?
