The New Ugly Duckling ~ City Adventure

The New Ugly Duckling ~ City Adventure by VTech is the story book that Dave needs to listen every single night for almost 1 month in a row till today. There are about 18 pages and it's actually quite tiring to read for him every day and not to forget other stories books also. However, these readings are worth something as Dave can read certain words by himself now. He can even memorize the first 3 pages of The New Ugly Duckling almost perfect. So basically, sometimes when he's in the mood, he will read the first 3 pages for me and I will continue the rest. ^^


He can memorize days start from Sunday and every morning when he wakes up he will ask what is the day today. Usually he doesn't like Wednesday and Friday since those are the time he will have his Mandarin lesson. For the first few months he will be crying when it's Wed or Fri. I think he was just trying the new trick whether he can get something by crying. Apparently no, thus the Wed or Fri these days are OK already.

The Kid has to Go Back to the School where His Parent Went?

We finally made a decision to move Dave to national school instead of national plus school. The choice is at Sutomo School. He is going to Kindergarten A in July.

Like years ago, in order to register to Sutomo school, if you would like to register first, then you need to have a recommendation letter. It doesn't mean people with no recommendation letter cannot register. It's just that they have to register in the later date. This year, the school registration date for people whom have the letter is opened on 21 and 22 March.

Luckily a cousin's mother-in-law is working in the Sutomo school in the Kindergarten department. I asked a favour from her if she could get the letter for us and apparently yes. So, we went to register yesterday, 21 March, and when we reached there it was about 7.45. There were lots of people waiting already and I didn't even know what time they got there. My queue number was 67 and we have to wait for almost 2 hours before we got in for the registration. It costs about Rp 1.9 million (1USD = Rp 8700).

The school starts in July 11 and he is enrolled in the class A9.

Cougar Town

I am not a TV person that can spend time in watching TV shows series. Recently, a friend of mine introduced this TV show "Cougar Town" and apparently it's quite hilarious and it's only 30 minutes show. I am interested in in because she said that Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox from FRIENDS are starring. I love FRIENDS. I watched it and apparently Jennifer Aniston is just the guest and that's totally fine since Courtney Cox as Jules is quite rocked in the show.


This Cougar Town is the comedy drama series that talk about Jules (Courtney Cox) as a recently divorced mother who explores the honest truths about aging in each own beauty and dating. I also loves the relationship of Jules and Travis (her son) in this drama.

A Question from Three Years and Five Months Toddler

Dave sees lots of pregnant women these days. These women always tell him about the baby in the stomach. Some of the women with early pregnancies, the tummy are not that big yet, and some are really showing already. He is aware that there is baby in the tummy. So, I were pretending to tell him that there is baby in mommy's tummy. Then he will really show his love and talk to the "baby" in the tummy. This morning, he was kinda pointing to my breast and asked "So, who is in there?"......... ('coz he thinks that everything big has baby inside... ^^)
Honestly, I were quite stunned and I didn't know what to answer. So, after a few seconds, finally I told him that there is nothing in there. The babies are exists only in the tummy.

When is the best time to educate him about human anatomy?
