Pat a cake, bakers man, bake me a cake as fast as you can, you pat it and prick it and mark it with L, put it in the oven for Leia and me...as Leia will hit my palm with her little palm, while I sang the song. Another version of the song, was when Leia great grandma sang Pok Ame, Ame. She will also hit her makco's palm (that's how Leia calls her great grandma) with her little palm, as she jumped up and down follow the rhythm. Leia grows so fast. Too fast sometime I felt. She is now crawling, laughing out loud, babbling, climbing and standing. She calls me Ma..ma..every time she gets hungry and in need of nursing. Everyday, she has different thing to discover. She blows strawberry too now, as she is discovering her sound skills. This is the first time in my life, that I wish and only wish, if a day would be 48 hours, and a month will be 60 days. So I'll have more time to enjoy my little girl invention of stuffs in her little life and surroundings.
Today, Leia swam again. She tried to do monkey walk (where she went to the ledge and tried to stand and walk), moved side to side (so she used to the sound of the water), and glided! (she loved that so much). She gave her swims teacher a bye bye gesture, as she moved her hand to open - shut position (not waving yet), her teacher right away gave a "oooh....." sound as she watched Leia doing her bye bye gesture. Also, today, Leia pooped in the bath room, sat on the toilet seat, she was so cute..and smart! Good Job my baby! She loves to drop her cup and watch me pick it up, as I said "ooo..oow!" every time she dropped the cup, she looked at me, and after I said "ooo..oow" she laughed and laughed.
Leia is her opa's joy. Opa waits at the front gate everyday, for Leia. When Leia sees her Opa, she will smile at him, and give her hand to reach for him. Then, before took a bath, Leia sits on her stroller, and strolls with Opa for a while. This is the routine that Opa especially invented for my baby. Opa also will send me an SMS just to ask how's Leia day went, or what was Leia doing at that time. Was Leia sleeping already? I am so profound of the relationship that my daughter has with her Opa. If we spent the night in Menteng, Opa will sleep with Leia, and he is happily sleeping with Leia, with the sudden cry at midnight, or early morning, he is so enjoy his day being Leia's opa. And together with Opa, Leia dances and makes a bye bye gesture again and again.
Sometime I wonder if I made a right decision to go home for good, now without doubt, I made a right decision, for myself, and my daughter. I just wish and only wish that we can live closer to tante Bea.
