2009.. Kylie new hair style

Based on Mom's observations... Kylie's hair is already no style.. it is cute to see her with the little curly, but she seemed like annoyed by her hair..

So, one Sunday.. last sunday.. Mom brought her to a salon (langganan di cinere).
While Mom do Strawberry's Hair Spa.. she got her hair's cut by the stylist..






























And.. tarraaaam.. a new Kylie... :)

~ Prayer For A Daughter ~

Heavenly Father, You've answered always,
my feeble trains of thought...
down the highways, alleys, and byways,
though Your path wasn't always sought...

You've always blessed me richly,
and Your love for me is free,
not one penny did it cost,
the ride to You from me.

The gifts I have are many,
not one of them deserved...
You, my friend, are always steadfast,
when chaos fills my world.

Then, You blessed me one more time,
and a daughter came to be.....
Oh! The depth of joy untold,
this gift from You to me!!!

You alone, my Holy Master,
above all, and no other......
bestowed me with the priceless gift
of being this child's mother.

Whom else could I entrust the care
of this precious little child?
Hold her in Your gentle warmth,
walk by her side each mile.

Bathe her in Your loving care,
answer when she calls,
oh, watch o're my priceless privilege,
Father of us all!!!

Believing hear, what you deserve to hear:
Your birthday as my own to me is dear...
But yours gives most; for mine did only lend
Me to the world; yours gave to me a daughter [original: a friend]

A Mom's Prayer

A MOM'S PRAYER

---

Dear Lord, It's such a hectic day,

With little time to stop and pray,

For Life's been anything but calm,

Since You called me to be a Mom,

Running errands, matching socks,

Building dreams with matching blocks,

Cooking, cleaning, finding shoes,

And other stuff that children lose,

Fitting lids on bottled bugs,

Wiping tears and giving hugs,

A stack of last week's mail to read,

So where's the quiet time I need?

Yet, when I steal a moment, Lord,

Just at the sink or ironing board,

To ask the blessings of Your grace,

I see them, in my small one's face,

That you have blessed me

All the while --

And I stoop to kiss

That precious smile.

This morning conversation

Mom baru aja kelar sarapan dan buru2 mau mandi.. when my girl followed me to the bathroom..
Mom : kakak tunggu diluar ya.. mom mau mandi dulu....
Kylie : mmm.. mama emangnya mau kemana cii? *sambil melirik my office suits*
Mom : Looh... biasanya kemana kalo pagi2 gini?
Kylie : kerja... gak usah kerja ajaaaaaa...
Mom : kakak kan tau mama kerja untuk apa.., inget gak..?
Kylie : buat rumah merpati ya..?
Mom : itu pinteerrr.. iyaaa, kan kalo gak kerja mama ga bisa bayar rumah merpati..
Kylie : tapi kan tempat tidur kita disini...
Mom : *habis akal*

Alhasil Mom tetap pergi kerja sperti biasa, tapi sepanjang jalan mikirin itu terus deh.. *hiks*
Ini link ke Rumah Merpati itu....

Every house where love abides
And friendship is a guest,
Is surely home, and home sweet home
For there the heart can rest.

Like mother like daughter..

Now, it's time for a little story about my little girl Kylie....

Last night, I saw the babies were busy with their playstation so I think it's time for Mom to do something with my hair.

So I took my new hair rolling stuff (roll rambut gicuu).. 8 pieces of pink rolls..

But when my girl saw me with that things, as usual... she wanna have the same thing for her.. (dede mau!! dede mau!!, she said)... hayyyyahh....

So then, I put it on her thin and curly hair, one by one.... she was so happy.. when I put the camera, she said Cheeezz, Mommy !! (xixixixi)...

.. and.. taraaamm.. only about 5 minutes she already get bored and annoyed with that stuff.. hehe.. please see her face.. (dah bete dah....!!)

Then she said to her brother.. "bang, gatel nih rambut dede.." (xixixi..)

Her brother just simply smile, and said: "lagian sih, itu kan buat ibu2, de.." (xixixi..)

(even without look at his sister at all, too concentrate with the game)

Then, she tried to put-off all the stuff and play again with her brother...

Hehehe..... at least she tried... ya kan, ya kan..?

New hair style by pro hairstylist (mom)

BEFORE

Actually, this story is a bit out-of-date 'bout 3 weeks, but it's oke lahh...

Ceritanya gini, Kylie was planning to start her school on last Feb (look at the pictures in HERE, then, I felt that her hair was already 'gondrong' and irritated her (gak terlalu siy) but I just want her to have a fresh new look.... So, Mom's acting like a very pro-hairstylist, and voila !!

AFTER

Sorry ya kalo mengecewakan penggemar ... hehe *twink twink* masih teteup lutju dan imut kok.

I am a big sister now ! Bye-bye diapers.. !

Kylie - Dec 2007

Baby Kylie is having a tremendous improvement in term of her growth.. She's just turned 2 last December (pf. 17 Dec.) and now she's already like a big sister.. Oh yes, she is going to be a big sister for the coming baby... So, not baby Kylie anymore, but Sister... kakak Kylie.. :)

She talks more, too much asking what and why and how and when and who?? to everything and to all the things.... offcourse I enjoyed so much all the conversations we had, even sometimes it bothered me when she screamed to express her ego about something..

The most improvement, that since last 2 weeks, she refuses to wear the diapers.. hehehe... bravo ! At the first place, it's only from morning to afternoon but not at night... But since 3 days ago, we left her without diapers when she goes to sleep...

Day 1, she expelled in her bed, and I changed her several times.... she wasn't awake but annoyed..Day 2, she slept and nervous when needed to pee, and I took her to the toilet, also several times.... then, she went back to sleepDay 3, means last night.... she only expelled once, and that was my fault too.... I was late to take her to the toilet when she showed that she was on edge. But, it was 5.30 am in the morning..!! Means that the whole night, she sleep tightly.... uuch sweet baby...So, I proudly say that my baby sweet baby is a bigger sister now.... I am so happy with this condition... Without comparing with her brother, he was also very great during his transition about wearing/not this diapers things, but William has all the same condition when he was 3.

I love my babies so much !!

When you cry..

My dearest baby Kylie.....

So sorry can't accompany you all the time...
So sad to see your cry this morning,
When I left you for work..
..something that I don't know why but must do..

Really do want to hold you all the time
Playing with you, something you deserve more from me
Really do want to kiss your little fingers for whole day
..and never let it go, even for a minute..
Still remember your lovely smells.. mixed up with your tears..

You sad because your brother left you for school..
one day you will, sweetheart..
You cry because your grandpa left you to bring granny for shop..
you insist to get in the car and very angry with the condition..
mom understands you, honey...
Then, your biggest cry, when your last hope, me... left you to work..
you hugged me tight and won't release when your nanny wants to hold you from my arms
it hurts me a lot to see you cry....
and I cried....

Only pray and hope, that one day you will know..
I always love you and never meant to hurt you..
I do love you, my baby Kylie....

With deepest love from your working mom.... at office, 10.00 am

Frestea.. she loved it too !

Keye my girl, like to drink Frestea as I do... :P

Serius kalii puuunn.... dede !!!!!
