~Fishing Yooookkkss!!!~

Hari minggu ini saya ajak anak-anak memancing sejak dari pagi tadi, sehabis bangun dan sarapan pagi, anak-anak ribut cari pancingan di lantai karoke. Ferdi lalu nanya umpannya  pake apa,... saat itu kebetulan ada Bi Iis dirumah. Bi Iis itu masih saudara dekat,... dan suka bantu-bantu dirumah. Bi Iis bilang nanti dicarikan cacing aja.

Wooowww,.... No,.... No,... Hiii,... spontan aku teriak,"Nggak usah bi,...! nanti biar saya aja yang buatkan umpannya dari pelet. jangan pake cacing ah,... hiii geliii,". Dari dulu aku emang jijik liat binatang kecil itu,... Yaaiikkksss,...

Kemudian saya ambil wadah kecil, dan segera membuat umpan dari bahan campuran pelet yang saya campur dengan air panas supaya mudah dilumatkan, dan sedikit  saya campur dengan tepung terigu  supaya agak keras dan tidak hancur sewaktu umpan di lempar ke kolam.

   

 Dan setelah umpan selesai dibuat,... anak - anak mulai memancing di kolam kesukaan mereka, Kolam di depan pendopo joglo arya wirya. Karena ikan mujahir dan nila nya lebih banyak ditanam di sana, dibanding dengan kolam utama yang lebih banyak gurame, koi, ikan mas, dll.

 

Hari ini hari keberuntungan saya, ferdi dan aldi, mendapatkan ikan lebih banyak. Baru saja kail dilempar, ikannya udah dapat. Kasian,.. Aldo hari ini sepertinya ikan-ikan sedang tidak ingin memakan umpan kailnya aldo. Hanya beberapa buah ekor ikan saja yang dia dapatkan. akhirnya anak-anak pindah mancing ke kolam kecil,... hehehehe,... curaanggg yanggg,... hehehe. Kolam kecil ini sengaja ditanam ikan - ikan pilihan aja, maksudnya kalau ada tamu mendadak datang, ngga perlu lama ambil ikan,... tinggal nyiuk aja pakai jaring. Di kolam kecil ini di tanam ikan nila merah, bawal, gurame, cordfish, patin dan ikan mas sedikit.

Waktu saya coba memancing di kolam ini, ngga sampai nunggu lama, kail saya seperti dibawa lari sama ikan. tapi saya biarkan dulu supaya umpannya benar-benar dimakan sama ikan. Dan saat saya tarikkkk,... wiiihhhhh,.. beraaaatttt amaaatttt,.... begitu ditarik kuat,... kaget banget ngeliat ikan sebesar itu. seumur-umur baru mancing dapet ikan gede. and I feel so Good and  very happy,....
asiiikkk dapat ikan patinnn,... sampe-sampe kailnya putus loh, saking beratnya. Hhmmm enaknya dibuat sop ikan patin,... maknyuusss,....

 

Hari itu tangkapan ikan kami dapat 45 ekor,.. hihihii,... lumayannn banyakkk,... saya dan anak-anak lebih suka di goreng kering dan makan dengan nasi dan sambal kecapp,.... lezaattt... Makasihhh atas hari yang indah ini,...

 

~Painting & Drawing 1 Desember 2013~

Pagi ini aku bangun early in the morning, setelah sholat subuh, aku membangunkan anak-anak untuk segera mandi pagi dan memulai aktifitas di pagi hari. Kebetulan sudah sejak kemarin sabtu aku tanyakan anak-anak, hari minggu pagi ini ingin diisi kegiatan apa.

Anak-anak dengan riang memutuskan untuk mengawali aktifitas dengan menggambar bebas dan mewarnainya dengan cat lukis. Baiklah,... dari pada membiarkan mereka seharian bermain didepan xbox atau wii atau video games, jadi lebih baik cari kegiatan yang bermanfaat dan ngga bikin jenuh dan suntuk. cause selama 6 hari harus belajar disekolah umum dan sekolah agama setiap harinya.

Seperti biasanya, setiap pagi tidak pernah terlewatkan celoteh anak-anak, ribut di tempat tidur, entah apa juga yang mereka bahas. Kadang terdengar sangat mengasikkan,... namun tidak berapa lama terdengar suara aldi merengek dan nangis karena digodain sama kakak-kakaknya.  Setiap hari, ketiga jagoanku itu, tidak luput meributkan dan memperebutkan sesuatu. kalau sudah mulai teriak-teriak dan saling mendahului berlari ke arah ku,.. mengadukan hal yang sepele,.. membuatku tambah pusing, karena tidak ada yang mau mengalah. semuanya berbicara dan tak ada yang diam. ammmpyuuuuuunnn,....!!!!! Kadang aku  suka beri nasehat, mana yang boleh di lakukan dan mana yang tidak,... tetapi lama-lama, kadang saya membiarkan mereka dan akhirnya mereka terdiam sendiri.Setelah mereka diam baru saya yang bersuara. Jika tidak begitu, mereka mana mau mendengar,... ampunnn,... ampunn. 

    

Setelah anak-anak mandi, aku mengijinkan mereka untuk main games wii selama 10 menit. Sementara itu aku menyiapkan perlengkapan yang akan mereka gunakan untuk drawing and painting nanti. Seperti Kertas, kuas, palet, gelas air, lap, pensil, penghapus, penggaris,... hmmm seperti sudah lengkap semua. Saatnya memanggil anak-anak nih,....!!!!

Sengaja aku pilih tempat di depan kolam rumah utama, karena ada meja keramik ,... jadi lebih nyaman bagi mereka untuk menggambar. Lalu aku memberikan instruksi, masing-masing anak harus mengambil peralatannya sendiri di meja perlengkapan,... dan tidak boleh berebutan,... makanya anak-anak aku minta berbaris satu persatu seperti orang mengantri,... supaya tidak rebutan dan akhirnya berantakan sana-sini karena sikut-sikutan dan bertengkar,..

    

Dimulai dari kak ferdi mengambil perlengkapan melukisnya, kemudian aldo,.. terakhir aldi.  Setelah masing-masing memegang perlengkapannya, mereka lalu mulai duduk ditempat masing-masing dan menata perlengkapannya diatas meja. Selagi mereka asik,..aku mengambil beberapa foto kegiatan mereka. Ku lihat ketiga sudah mulai asik menggambar sesuai dengan imaginasi mereka.

   

 

Aku mengambil gambar mereka dari beberapa sudut halam rumah kami. Pagi itu udara segar sekali, cuacanya juga sangat mendukung, karena cerah dan bersinar. Sambil menunggu mereka menyelesaikan menggambarnya, aku menyiapkan camilan snack pagi, karena masih punya ulen, jadi ku goreng ulen dan disajikan di meja perlengkapan bersama teh manis hangat.

   

Ini hasil gambar ferdi dan aldo, sedangkan aldi belum selesai menggambar. anak itu sepertinya tidak percaya diri dengan gambar sendiri, lalu mengulang menggambar kembali. 

   

 

kemudian aldo dan ferdi mengambil warna cat air yang mereka inginkan di meja perlengkapan. Palet-palet mulai terisi cat warna-warni. kemudia kedua mulailah menyapukan kuas dan cat warna pada gambarnya.

 

 

Terdengar dari kejauhan suara celoteh nyaring adek fadhil,. 1,5 tahun,... anaknya indra (adikku),...  dengan riangnya dan bernyanyi kecil,.. si lincah fadhil mendekati kakak-kakaknya, dan meminta kertas padaku, rumah dia ingin ikutan partisipasi sama kegiatan ini,... hehehe,... dan ketika aku berikan kertas itu,.. mulailah fadhil membuat coretan benang kusut,...

   

Aku lihat aldi dan kakak ferdi sudah mulai menyelesaikan hasil paintingannya dengan baik. sayangnya hasil akhirnya saya tidak dokumentasikan, karena saat itu datang tamu nya kakak sepupu saya, dari ubekistan, yang akan menginap di villa kami. by the way,... af all semua kegiatan hari itu berjalan dengan baik dan lancar,.. lalu saya berikan masing-masing anak map, untuk menyimpan hasil paintingan karya mereka. Semangatttt ya naakkk,...!!!!

I'll Always Remember

On  March 16th,
I had a son.
I had no idea,
It would be so much fun.

A beautiful baby,
For me to love.
Truly, a wonderful gift
From above.

I rocked you at night,
And I sang you to sleep
Those moments I'll cherish,
And I won't share a peep.

A beautiful baby,
I have no more.
You're all grown up now,
You have the world to explore.

But I'll always remember,
the time in that rocker.
And I hope you'll have memories,
When you become 'father'.

Happy 8th Birthday, Son.
I love you with all my heart,
Mom

Questions, Through The Eyes Of A 8 Year Old Boy

Can you tuck me into bed mama?
Don't forget to kiss me goodnight.
Can you tell me a story mama,
Before you turn out the lights?

Can you kiss my forehead mama,
Like you used to do before?
Can you at least tell me you love me mama,
Before you close the bedroom door?

Why don't you wanna talk to me mama?
I miss the sound of your voice.
Mama, can you please say somethin'?
I guess if you don't, it's your choice.

But mama, I have to tell you somethin'...

Even though you're quiet mama,
I know what you're goin' through.
I understand why you cry now mama,
Cause I'm hurtin' too.

Why'd you have to leave us daddy?
I still had some growin' up to do.
Did we somehow make you mad daddy?
Or, were we not good enough for you?

Do you know that mama cries at night daddy?
I think it's cause she sleeps alone.
Daddy, can you please call the house tonight,
Cause mama is waitin' by the phone.

You know mama still loves you daddy?
But I hate you for what you done.
you put tears in mama's eyes, daddy.
And in the eyes of YOUR son.

I thought you said you'd never leave daddy?
You said we'd be pals, you and me.
But, you broke your promise daddy,
Like you broke this family.

~What happened to my son?~

Two days ago, at the afternoon Aldo watching his favorite cartoons. 

Then I asked him about his daddy. Since childhood, Aldo is very close to his daddy. Where his daddy went, he always followed. Such can not be separated between the child and the daddy.

Since we live in Sukabumi, I never asked this question.

Somehow today,...  there is a desire  want to ask this question to my children.  

"aldo,.. do you  still remember your dad?"

"Do you miss your dad?"

 
when I asked him if he still remember his dad? 

aldo replied "I remember mom" with a very short answer. 

when I asked if he missed his dad?  

This answer kinda makes me so surprised and 

 wonder to myself "what's wrong with this kid?". 

"No Momy, ... I don't miss  Daddy?"

"why?..."
He did not talk much, then just go out of the house, looking for his brother.
until this moment I have not been on her again to ask her why. 

~My kids Mandatory Sports~

Sports are not only needed an adult. children, including child under 6 years of age also need to stretch the muscles. Kids exercising purpose other than to maintain his physical fitness and in order to avoid obesity. There is a discourse of children under 6 years of age should exercise at least 3 hours each day. Sports are recommended for children should not be made ​​in full, but can be done alone or with a pause, as long as the total time for at least 3 hours a day. preschool-aged children only get sporadic exercise very little. For the children under six years of age are advised to combine light activity and energetic activity throughout the day.

Once the children are all invited to exercise at his father. Once a week they have always practiced Tennis and cycling. unfortunately at this time I do not have time to bring the kids to the gym or field. May only exercise around the home, such as badminton, cycling, gymnastics, running around the yard.

Parents who care about their health should more actively encourage their children doing light physical activity, moderate or severe at least 15 minutes per hour. Some eligible activities and energetic light activity to train children under 6 years of age. Including walking, dancing, and jumping rope.

~Extra curricular chose for my son~

On the first day of kindergarten, maybe you have not thought to include a child in one of the extra-curricular activities (extracurricular) offered by the school. That's all right. You still have plenty of time to observe and identify children's interests.
While my child explore their interests and talents, you can find out about the curriculum or extracurricular programs offered. You also need to research faculty, facilities, amenities, neighborhood, and school achievement of each extracurricular. Curriculum, teaching staff and quality facilities that will make your child enjoy the extracurricular activities she chooses. While the accomplishment or achievement, motivates children to be more active after school program is additional. Here are some additional activities for kids that you can consider.

Drawing or painting

 Aldo and kak ferdi love drawing and painting. After every home school the children had always asked HVS to their images. Aldo and sister prefers to draw car-mobildan and steel tanks. Once they are coloring, .. they always put a picture on the wall of the results of our room. Aldi currently no interest in drawing. This activity is useful for developing talent and interest in my children to the visual arts media. Drawing is the activity of making appropriate forms of imagination, whether viewed directly or derived from delusion. Unlike the coloring activity that trains the fine motor skills, drawing activities involving aspects of cognition that shape perception, visual motor coordination, and certainly involves a child's imagination. Drawing is actually a medium for children to express themselves. If the child's language skills are limited, he can pour their feelings and experiences in the form of images.

 
Playing a musical instrument

Compared kak ferdi and Aldi, Aldi is more attracted to the art of music and dance. New some time ago I was introduced piano / organt to my kids, I hope this is not intended mEkskul spawned young musicians. Ekslul is limited to providing children the opportunity to explore the music and instruments. New child can master a particular music instrument after more than 6 years old. However, it is possible to recognize the child learns a musical instrument and learn to understand the rhythm. Patience and logic development can thrive by playing a musical instrument.

Dance

Dancing helps children to recognize motion into creative expression that has a meaning. Aldi more often more engaged when they heard the sound of music. either foot or hand that moves to the music. In addition, activities are also trained keterampilann dancing and kinesthetic communication through basic dance movements and choreography. Alhamdulillah, .. For children ages Aldi, motor coordination, memory, and understanding of rhythm can be trained through dance movements. This extracurricular help children develop discipline and focus.
