Seperti tahun lalu, gue jadi volunteer utk jaga stand make up. Setelah kursus kilat dari salah satu panitya, akhirnya specialisasi gue ngelukis kupu-kupu. Sepeti tahun laluuuu, Célia agak2 kolokan: ngga mau piknik bareng teman sekelas, caper melulu sama gue aaaah. Namun tidak seperti tahun laluuuu, udaranya super enak banget. Oh ya Célia kali ini memakai kostum indian... hu hu ha ha hu hu ha ha
Hari kamis masuk sekul lagi. Foto foto di bawah ini, adalah dekorasi yg ada di Hall setelah pintu masuk.... Kreatif juga dinding2nya ditutupin dengan plastik hitam utk tempat sampah hehehe bravo!
At the last day of school, Célia's teachers handed to me all of Célia's art projects. They are normally hang all over the wall of the class. The walls are now white with no decoration, they are ready for the new member of the class' creations.
As for me, I haven't found any solution how to preserve those art works. I would like to hang some in Célia's room and keep most of them in a box.... but I think I will need a big box :-)
How time flies so fast! My baby girl will be at Moyenne Section of Kindergarden next september. She's been doing very well at her first year of school. Teachers Sophie and Sandrine and Annie the assistant are so pleased with her. She's been very nice, serious and very involved in the activities. She counts to 20, she knows the alphabets, she can spell her name, her friends' name. We're so proud of her.
Look at my baby girl, a nasty insect has biten her right eye lid! Now she looks like a boxer the day after a lost match. So nasty that she could not open her right eye. Luckily, she copes quite well with her "appearance". Even I hold my tears not to drop (miris hatiku), not in front of her of course. When she's seeing herself in the mirror (when brushing her teeth for example), I explain that she will soon be able to re-open her right eye again, that I put some ointment to reduce the inflation. Like when she's having the Chickenpox, she could handle physical "disturbance"(I must learn many things from her). It was the last days of school, too bad that she could not say good bye to her classmates and her teachers before the holiday.
Tomorrow papa will send her to mamy papou for 2 weeks holiday at their summer house. I feel bad giving my baby in 'that condition' to them. Hope she will recover soon (some say it'll takes 4 days to get back to normal again).
In french, it is called kermesse which is usually held in the month of June. At Célia's kindergarden, it is held on friday june 18, after the school hour. There are a lot of fun activities. Célia got her face painted... tigresse, it really fits her. Husband participates in the goodies fishing stand.
In France, festivity means BBQ of sausages, chipolatas (both porc), merguez (spicy lamb and beef sausages) and the smoke that goes with it (oh no my hair). It's not really my kind of BBQ and there is such a long queue. We finally go for a sandwich and lots of home made cakes. Yumm. Oh I wish my indonesian friends had a food stand here. With 6 euro you will have a complet and appetizing food.
Look how smokey it is. That's a photo of my previous co. BBQ.
Célia got affected by a nasty chickenpox at her school. It is reported that at least 5 of her class members got this infectious disease. I noticed 2 red bumps on her face when she came from school thursday afternoon. In the morning, it has become several spots on her face and on her body. I took an appointment right away in the afternoon. The doctor said that she needed to be quarantined at home for 10 days.
The worst period was during day 2 and day 3, she couldn't sleep well at night and itchy and scratchy all the time. And she's becoming cranky - which is normal.
Looking at the rash, I really could not believe that she could go back to school in 10 days.
Fortunately it was a long weekend (monday off) and I asked my husband to take tuesday off as well. I really needed a hand to cope with everything while kid being sick. I tried to make her busy with activities so that she will forget to scratch. Painting helps a lot. It calms her down, even when she's not sick. During the quarantine, she did hand painting, sponge painting and even helping me baking some muffins.
Pada hari terakhir di sekolah sebelum liburan musim semi, kelas Célia mengadakan kunjungan ke Cité des Enfants, semacam kompleks Sains khusus untuk anak-anak. Kali ini papanya yg giliran ikut nganter kelas. Duuuh Célia bangga banget deh... sekaligus cemburuan kalo ada temennya yg ngajak ngobrol papanya. "C'est mon papa, ce n'est pas le tien!" (ini papaku bukan papa kamu) katanya. Acara outingnya seharian, mereka berangkat jam 10 pagi naik bus (kira-kira 30-60 menit perjalanan tergantung sikon). Pagi pagi saya sudah sibuk mempersiapkan bekal piknik utk Célia dan papanya. Saya bikin sandwich hati isi keju dan isi daging asap, potongan timun, apel, chips (kripik), jus, dan biskuit (belakangan papanya kasih tau saya bahwa sandwich hati saya cuma dimakan 1... huuuu, tetep semangat).
Papanya dapat tugas utk "menjaga" 3 orang anak: Célia, do-ria dan No-am (yg naksir Célia tuuuh). Baru tau dia betapa melelahkannya pekerjaan seorang chaperone :-). Karena ada banyak grup grup dari sekolah lain, dan anak-anak itu hobinya ngacir melihat sesuatu yg dia senang.
Programnya: begitu sampai langsung piknik di dalam ruangan, kemudian program bebas melihat-lihat pameran, break di lapangan rumput sambil menunggu pertunjukan sains.

Hari jumat kemarin, kembali gue volunteer di pesta musim semi TK Célia yg diselenggarakan oleh asosiasi para orang tua. Tugas gue jaga stand lomba bawa telur pake sendok di pagi hari dan stand tebak gambar di siang hari. Seruuu deh berinteraksi sama anak-anak TK. Kalo teman-teman Célia yg sudah kenal muka gue, bolak balik tanya, "Mama Célia, mama Célia... sekarang jadi guru ya ?" Anak-anak yang lebih besar nyapa gue, "Bonjour, nama saya Felix, kamu namanya siapa?". Belum lagi pas di lapangan bermain, ada yg tarik-tarik baju gue sambil bilang, "Maitresse (bu guru), maitresse, boleh ngga saya ke toilet?".... *boleh ngga ya? kayaknya ngga ada larangan deh* "Euuuh boleh, cepetan ya".
Sayangnya kalo lagi lihat mamanya, Célia suka keluar manjanya. Tadinya dia ngga mau ikutan karena gue jaga di stand sebelah (ada 4 stand telur). Jadilah acara bujuk membujuk dikeluarin sehingga akhirnya dia mau main. Ngga enaknnya gini nih kalo ikut-ikut acara sekolah, Célia selalu caper :-).
Senangnya bisa ngintip Célia main sama teman-temannya di lapangan
Di akhir permainan, semua berkumpul di kelas untuk membuka kotak harta karun.... masing masing dapat kantong coklat. *Itu wali kelas Célia*
Pesta musim semi ini diakhiri dengan "boum" (pesta) di hall sekolah. Gaya deh anak gue, jalan-jalan bawa gelas sambil joget joget.... *jadi inget waktu masih mudah huuuu*
Wow, it's not an easy peasy job to chaperone a bunch of 3-4 years old kids! But it was so much fun. My job was to make sure that the kids were lining 2 by 2 when leaving the school to the bus and getting out of the bus and heading to the theatre. I also had to make sure that the kids stayed put during the show.
This is my second time to help chaperone my daughter's class to a local "theatre" for a spectacle. The first time was the visit to the town's library, just next to this theatre. It was a black light puppet show. The show itself was interesting and funny, the kids just couldn't stop shouting and laughing. Check out their video. Too bad that the show was a bit too long for the their age, some kids couldn't stay still and kept asking when it would over. Fun fun fun, can't wait for another chaperone job.
Di sekolah, Célia sudah belajar mengenal huruf2 dari namanya. Selain itu, dia juga kenal huruf2 dari nama mama, papa dan sebagian besar teman2 kelasnya. Belakangan ini, dia diajarkan utk menulis nama sendiri. Nah di rumah, mulailah kita (terutama papanya) latihan ulang apa yg diajarkan di sekolah. Proporsi huruf2nya masih belum stabil, papanya dapet akal dengan membatasi area tulisan dengan dua garis sejajar.
Hari ini sudah mulai bagusan tulisannya... Célia sekarang umurnya 3 tahun 7 bulan, kalo di indonesia, anak2 belajar nulis umur berapa ya, kayaknya lebih cepat ya?
Di sekolah, anak-anak mulai diajarkan untuk menggambar orang. Sekarang jadi hobi deh Célia gambar orang kalo lagi di rumah. Pinter nak, mama bangga sama kamu :-)
Ini foto2 waktu defile murid-murid dari TK kecil, sedang sampai besar di sekolah Célia. Para orang tua juga diundang karena setelah acara defile ada acara minum teh/kopi/jus dan makan galette des rois. Kita diminta untuk drop anak2 di kelas antara jam 9.45-10.00 pagi. Kemudian para orang tua diminta utk meninggalkan kelas dan berdiri di samping jalur defile.
Ternyata hueboh juga ngatur anak2 untuk partisipasi acara2 spt ini, khususnya kelasnya Célia yg notabene TK kecil. Ada beberapa anak yg ngga mau pake topi raja/ratunya, yg nangis ngga mau ditinggal orang tuanya. Sampai2 ada seorang ibu yg berkaca2 matanya krn sudah capek mbujuk anaknya tapi anaknya masih nangis terus..... Alhamdulillah si centil-ku lancar2 saja, malah tambah centil, pas defile dia pake acara pose spt penari balet. Walhasil beberapa anak yg nangis digandeng oleh guru kelasnya, bahkan oleh salah satu orang tua, pada waktu defile. Klik sini utk liat videonya.
Saya perkenalkan Frison (baca: frizong), maskot kelas nya Célia. Boneka keledai ini berkunjung dari satu rumah anak ke rumah anak yg lain. Dan anak yg kedapatan giliran, harus menceritakan kembali kegiatannya selama Frison berada bersama dia.
Célia dapat giliran membawa pulang Frison hari senin kemarin. Begitu sampai rumah, langsung dia ubek-ubek cari boneka bourriquet (eeyore) dan ngenalin ke Frison. Sepupu jauh kali ya. Dia juga ajak keliling ngenalin semua mainan dan kamarnya. Abis itu Célia mandi dan sekalian Frison kita mandiin (euuuh kan abis muter dari satu anak ke anak lain). Saat makan malam, Frison Célia didudukin di samping kursinya pake high chairnya baby corolle. Abis itu bobok bareng deh.
Hari selasa pagi, Frison nganterin Célia ke sekolah tapi saya bawa pulang lagi. Sorenya baru saya bawa lagi ketika jemput Célia. Malemnya ngga lepas deh Frison dari samping Célia: nonton film kartun, main masak-masakan....
Hari rabu, saya ajak mereka ke acara Dharma wanita. Acaranya silaturahmi tahun baruan dg tuker kado dan karaoke. Célia agak2 melupakan temannya karena ketemu teman baru, Gladys. Mereka asik nari2 di atas panggung sementara Frison di pojokan :-). Pulangnya kita sempet mampir utk foto2 di menara Eiffel (ngga mau kalah dong Frison juga pengen jalan2 di paris). Malam terakhir utk Frison di rumah Célia karena besok dia bakal pindah rumah lagi..... Bye bye Frison!
Hari terakhir sekolah, sebelum liburan natal. Ini dia si Célia lagi lari2an di hall sekolah (préau bahasa perancisnya). Di sini juga, begitu pulang sekolah Célia makan snacknya dengan teman baiknya D.o.r.i.a, yg sekaligus tetangga kita. Ini kalo udah berdua, bisa jerit2an, kejar2an... sampai susah untuk berpisahnya.
Biasanya anak2 kalo makan snack di luar sekolah, tapi karena sekarang sudah dingin sekali, jadi di dalam sekolah aja. Hasil karya tiap2 kelas menjadi pendekor utama dinding2 préau ini. Gambar kiri atas adalah pohon natal hasil karya teman2 sekelas Célia. Karya Célia yg kanan bawah. Duuuh bangga deh mamanya :-)
Ini juga hasil karya Célia, gantungan2 berbentuk bintang, hati, pohon natal dan kaos kaki natal.
Ini dia hasil foto resmi dari sekolah yg diambil bulan november lalu. Walau udah berusaha dirapihin di salon, bekas2 poni gagal karya mama masih keliatan euy.
