Hu..hu..hu.. *Will nangis*
Kejadiannya baru kemaren. Lucu banget deh. Ceritanya kan lagi pada nonton TV nih. Terus gue melihat ada jerawat di dahinya Danu :P He..he.. Seperti biasa kan gue suka ngga tahan pengen mencet. Akhirnya gue pencet juga tuh satu jerawat yang super duper gedenya. Danu terus bilang "ouch" sambil meringis-ringis gitu. Ngga taunya Will langsung nangis terus nyamperin Daddy-nya. Terus Danu langsung dipeluk sama dia. Kesannya ikut merasakan sakit gitu... Ha..ha.. kita yang liat malah jadi bengong, soalnya nangisnya serius banget, tapi setelah Danu nenangin dia dan ngejelasin kalo itu ngga apa2 akhirnya dia diem. :D Ha..ha..ha.. Soo cute. Ada2 aja deh...

Ternyata disana juga makanan udah mau abis juga, untungnya masih ada Macaroni Cheese, akhirnya kita beli itu. Pas makan rasanya kaya abis makan baso deh. Soalnya panas banget pastanya, terus ditambah udaranya panas juga, jadilah serasa makan baso di pinggir jalan. He..he.. :P *kangen nih makan baso BI... :(*

Baked Croquette

Kenapa judulnya itu? Karena hari ini kita sekeluarga dapet berita yang udah dari dulu kita tunggu2. Jadi ceritanya gini nih, kita kan udah dari bulan Juni lalu apply PR di NZ ini. Ditunggu-tunggu jawabannya lama banget, ngga ada kabar aja. Tadi pagi sekitar jam 8 kurang tiba2 ada yang ngetok2 pintu keras banget. Kita sampe kaget, kirain siapa, tumben pagi2 gitu udah ada tamu. Ternyata pak pos, sodara2 :P Dia bawa satu paket cukup tebel. Pas diliat kok ngga ada nama pengirimnya. Ya udah, daripada penasaran langsung deh gue buka paketnya. Ternyata itu adalah surat dan macem2 dokumen dari imigrasi yang nyatain kita bisa apply PR. Cihuuuy!!!!! Seneng banget deh. Sampe loncat2. He..he.. :P Jadi sekarang kita tinggal nyiapin segala macem dokumennya dan apply. Hfff... akhirnya... :)

Tadi pagi Will rewel banget, ngga tau kenapa. Mungkin dia laper, soalnya pas sarapan dia ngga makan terlalu banyak. Tapi kalau ditawarin makanan selalu ngga mau. Akhirnya dia merasa laper banget kali ya, soalnya dia minta chocolate oatmeal cookies. Jadi ya dikasihlah kue itu. Ada kali dia makan 3 kue. Setelah itu baru dia agak settle dan mau main sendiri.

Sekarang usia kandungan gue udah 28 minggu nih. Gila deh, mana summer gini lagi. Kalo malem2 tuh suka kerasa panas banget dan kadang kalo Nic lagi ngendon diatas rasanya eungap gitu. Sampe segala macem posisi ngga ada yang enak. Mana kalo udah gilirannya mau tidur, eh... dia nendang2. Kalo dia posisinya pas ada dibawah bawaannya pengen ke WC terus. Yah... nasib deh ibu hamil. He..he..he.. :P

Ada satu lagi exciting thing yang terjadi hari ini. Paket yang kita tunggu dari Indo akhirnya dateng juga. Isinya? Sebagian besar sih baju2nya Will. Banyak banget! Buset dah. Ironisnya baju buat ema sama bapanya cuma dikit. Aduh... mau dong dikirim baju juga... :P He..he..
Selain itu ada juga bumbu2 masak. Yum...yum...yum... Dan yang paling asyik adalah... deng..deng.. contact lens pesenan gue nyampe! Hihiii... langsung deh bereksperimen pake yang warna baby aqua. Hasilnya, not bad... :D

This is William's day care report.

Mum: Will, would you kiss Nic?
Will: Naa...
