nataya's pink plaster cast

on tuesday night (12.05.09) nataya fell in front of the bathroom. we'd have just done with our routines before bed-time: brushing teeth and washing feet. her feet were still wettish when she was stepping out of the bathroom and so she fell. she cried out loud. i thought just because she was shocked of the sudden fall. but she kept on crying and seemed that she couldn't move her left foot. i asked her to stand up but she didn't want to. i was still thinking that she was shocked, not in pain.  

then, we moved to her bed. i tried to calm her down while changing her clothes but she kept on crying. she refused to read any books nor magazines. tired of crying, she then fell asleep.  

the next day, she still didn't want to stand up. she got cranky all morning. so we decided to take her to the hospital. she got x-rayed. then we knew that she got a small crack in her left leg. OMG. i was shocked. yup. and felt so so so so sorry. i was there when she fell the other night :( how come i didn't hold her when she was stepping out of the bathroom? :(  

the doctor put a plaster cast on her leg. she estimated that it could be taken off around 2 – 4 weeks. she assured us that children's healing are usually fast. 

here are the pics when the doctor was putting on the cast. nataya was a bit hysterical, by the way. she couldn't like doctors, hospitals in ANY ways, althought the doctor was pretty and friendly.

after the hospital session, we stopped by to my parents' house to inform about nataya's cast. we thought that the grandparents' should better know about it asap but not by phone :D

get well soon, nataya! :) musfi loves you :-*

difficult

nataya has been very difficult these days. she refused to have naps neither with her mom. she doesn't like naps anymore even if she is staying at her eyang's (my parents'). padahal sebelumnya kalau di rumah eyang tidurnya bisa berjam-jam, rekor 3, 5 jam. but now? so so so hard to take her to bed. our maid (who becomes her nanny while staying at eyang's everytime i'm away) told me that nataya would always called for her mom every nap time. and since her mom is away, she refused to stay in bed..


and it happened also this day. her lovely daddy was her nanny today. padahal dulu dia mau-mau aja tidur sama ayahnya. but not today. dan seperti biasa, ketika diajak ke tempat tidur, dia menolak, katanya: "NO!" sembari jalan ke luar kamar. Opens the door and yelled; " MUFSI!" but her mom didn't show up. so no napping..

jadinya pas siang jam 2 an, mulai uring-uring-an. dan apa-apa salah, rewel ga jelas. hadeuh, bikin senewen. tapi akhirnya jam 3 dia tidur juga setelah dikelonin ibunya. DUH!

yah, lumayanlah daripada engga sama sekali..

and poor dad. he was very exhausted today, karena seharian ngasuh nataya. jam 10 juga udah tewas.

snack time

wendy's fastfood was popular in the mid 90s here (bandung & jakarta). their place on jalan dago was always full during meal times. but when the crisis hitted indonesia in 1998, they became very pricey. 2 outlets in bandung were closed (jalan dago & dalem kaum), while some were still open in jakarta.

my sister is a big fan of wendy's, she really loves their cheesesauce. there was a moment of time when she could ask me to bring wendy's from jakarta everytime i went back to bandung on weekends. (that was the time when i was still single and kicking, working as a graphic designer in jakarta)

last year, wendy's opened a place at braga citiwalk bandung. that must be good news to my sister. but, strangely, she rarely goes there now..

around 2 weeks ago, we had some afternoon snack there.

wendy's melt, my order. i think this one's new.

my sister's. baked potato and chilli.

waffle fries. all time favorite.
