Child Can be Funny!

Another short and light post here. I hope you can enjoy reading it; with a little smile, maybe?

This is my true story. Hana, my nephew, is a smart young girl. She’s at her second year at primary school now. She likes playing riddle. It happened when I and my hubby visited her house two weeks ago.

“Auntie, what’s the similarity between Pangeran Diponegoro and Jendral Sudirman?”

Because both are Indonesia’s national patriots, I said,

“Hana, the same thing with both of them is they are our national patriots…”

“No, it’s wrong answer”

After several other wrong answers, I gave up.

And then she said calmly,” The right answer is, they are both don’t have facebook accounts, Auntie…”

I was surprised by her answer. Child nowadays…

My daughter, Shaqira, has just been 2.5 years old when I introduced her to children games at computer. At that time, I was downloading a new game from internet.

“Mom, why hasn’t yet the game come out? Why is it so long?”

“Be patient, dear. It’s still loading…” I said that while pointing my finger at loading sign at computer.

Not long after that, Shaqira asked me to lead her to the toilet because she wanted to loosen the bowels.

She sat down at the closet and I stood beside her.

After several minutes passed away; she’s still quiet.

I asked, “Shaq, why hasn’t yet it come out?”

“Be patient, Mom. It’s still loading…”

Saving Money on Buying Baby Diapers and Training Pants

Having a baby is the most wonderful gift from God; but it can take lots of money to care a baby. New born baby basic needs including these three kinds: clothing and layette, diapers and bath items, bedding and feeding needs.

For parents, baby diapers and training pants are large expenses; and the cost can still increase continuously. Before the baby has ready for potty training, most parents use disposable diapers. Disposable diapers are probably the easiest diapering method; that’s why it’s most popular parents’ choice. There is no washing or storing of used diapers and they are available in many stores.

Like mentioned before, the problem in using disposable diapers are its high cost. Assuming that the average baby will use 8 disposable diapers per day for around 2.5 years, that's more than 7,000 disposable diapers used before your baby potty trains. Wow, imagine how much the total cost!

Don’t worry parents; I have a proper solution here. It’s the smart buying that you can do: buy baby diapers and training pants online at Sam’s Club! You can get it at far less prices; and moreover, you can save lots of money by buying it in bulk. They provide the top brands of disposable diapers and training pants like Huggies and Pampers in a wide range of sizes and styles. They also deliver it to your home directly. Buying baby and infant needs at Sam’s Club will give you lots of benefit! 

Dunstan Baby Language : does It Work for Your Baby?

 
Until now I’m still curious with Dunstan Baby Language. There’s a controversy over it, so, I want to prove it with my own baby. But since I still haven’t one, I just keep my curiosity. I knew Dunstan Baby Language for the first time in Oprah Winfrey Show several years ago; at that time Priscilla Dunstan stated her hypothesis. I remembered that she made a demonstration to some babies; and her system seemed working successfully. Everyone there were astonished, including Oprah (and me).

Dunstan Baby Language products were sold well at that time. But then, it turned out that there were many complaints refered to Dunstan system. Many parents mentioned that Dunstan Baby Language didn’t work to their babies. Why was it still called hypothesis? Because Dunstan Baby Language hasn’t been scientifically validated (until now?).

For you that has forgotten with or still hasn’t yet known this Dunstan hypothesis, I’ll mention here a brief of it that I quote from wikipedia.




Dunstan's claims


Between 0-3 months, infants make what Dunstan calls sound reflexes. According to Dunstan, the five universal words (or sound reflexes) used by infants are:


1. Neh

I'm hungry - An infant uses the sound reflex "Neh" to communicate its hunger. The sound is produced when the sucking reflex is triggered, and the tongue is pushed up on the roof of the mouth.


2. Owh

I'm sleepy - An infant uses the sound reflex "Owh" to communicate that they are tired. The sound is produced much like an audible yawn.


3. Heh

I'm experiencing discomfort - An infant uses the sound reflex "Heh" to communicate stress, discomfort, or perhaps that it needs a fresh diaper. The sound is produced by a response to a skin reflex, such as feeling sweat or itchiness in the bum.


4. Eairh

I have lower gas - An infant uses the sound reflex "Eairh" to communicate they have flatulence or an upset stomach. The sound is produced when trapped air from a belch that is unable to release and travels to the stomach where the muscles of the intestine tighten to force the air bubble out. Often, this sound will indicate that a bowel movement is in progress, and the infant will bend its knees, bringing the legs toward the torso. This leg movement assists in the ongoing process.


5. Eh

I have gas - An infant uses the sound reflex "Eh" to communicate that it needs to be burped. The sound is produced when a large bubble of trapped air is caught in the chest, and the reflex is trying to release this out of the mouth.

It’s a natural way for every baby to express their physical needs. These are the baby’s first communications, which occur before actual crying develops. Ex : the sooner the ‘word’ for hunger is identified, the sooner a parent can respond by feeding. It’s resulting in less crying and less discomfort for the baby and the parents…


If you’re still interested, I share the download link of Dunstan Baby Language DVD.

The Dunstan System will teach you how to tune your ear to the 5 ‘words’. You will also view Priscilla Dunstan in a ‘live lesson’.

To everyone that has ever experienced with Dunstan System; I hope you can help me to answer my question, “Does Dunstan Baby Language Work for Your Baby?”

Santa Wrote Back!

My two little boys wrote Santa a few weeks ago. And when I asked them if they thought Santa was going to write them a letter back my 3 year old sadly said "No, He's busy".

Well today, when daddy brought the mail home. There were two envelopes for them from the north pole.

These photos say it all.

I found this fun website from a fiend and thought I should share it with you all.

If you want santa to write your little ones a letter you can on this link to print out your very own customizable Santa Letter. Pretty Cool!

"Each task performed with love is a tribute to God. God of love, may everything I do become an expression of your love. AMEN

Love is had only by loving. If you want love, you must begin by loving – I mean you must want to love. Once you want it, you must open the eye of your understanding to see where and how love is to be found. And you will find it within your very self.
–Catherine of Siena, A life of Total Prayer

There is one task only; the task of love. We are called b y God to live this life with love for everyone. All that we do can be an expression of God’s love. However mundane the task, perform it with a generous spirit and a grateful heart. The most insignificant task performed with love is a tribute to God. –Christopher Maricle, The Jesus Priorities: 8 Essential Habits"

Making Room for God During Advent and Christmas

He gives rest

Quick supper before bed :)

How thankful we are to have Brother Carlos here as well as Daniel's brother Samuel as they labor along with us.

Breakfast for 24 people...18 children and 6 adults. Wonderful!

Oh taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.

How good our Lord is! Sometimes it is quite the battle to truly thank Him for the trials through which He allows us to pass. But last night and then again this morning I was overcome with how many blessings the Lord gives us. As I thought through some of our recent trials, how thankful I truly was for them, for how they have made me appreciate all the more the countless blessings the Lord gives to us each day.

This week, Daniel's brother, my sweet sister in law and 6 little Lockwood cousins are here. How those times of deep lonliness have made me treasure the fellowship we have had this week.

The weather these past couple of days has been so beautiful. Seventy degrees to us brings on hot coffee or chocolate, soups, hot breads, and even a blanket at night are such wonderful things to enjoy. I wouldn't most likely feel that way if it weren't for the months we sweated through 100 degree humid weather.

Samuel is growing so well and is just so sweet and happy. I've never appreciated my little one's health and happiness like I do now.

I was thinking of how my many failures the Lord has used to show me how very weak I am and how I need Him. And oh, what a privilege it is to be able to go to my loving Lord at any time to give my every burden to Him...concerns for my children, those sins that so easily beset me, every uncertainty, every doubt, and every fear. And just to have His precious Word to renew my mind with His truth.

Daniel left for the villages this morning. Last week, he heard a very sad story. A man whom he had gone to twice to share the gospel with was run over by a car. Sadly, this man mocked at every word Daniel spoke. Another lady out there began to weep as she has so many hurts and just doesn't know the truth...she just doesn't understand. I was teaching Abi and Isaiah their verse this week...Proverbs 3:5..."Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding." Our ways and thoughts lead to confusion, sadness, and destruction. But when we trust in the Lord, believe Him, follow Him, and let His Word guide our thoughts and ways, our feet are sure and oh the sweet joy and blessed assurance He gives!

Hurt, Broken, and Healed

This may be a somewhat lengthy post. I often think during the week of things to share with you all. I don't know who all reads here but only want to bring glory to our wonderful Lord.

This week, many of the children have been sick. We have 2 different "bugs" going around...a flu like illness (high fever, head ache, cough, body ache) and a stomach bug. I love all the extra snuggles/cuddles I get when they children feel so weak. They just look so sweet and needy. Of course, those that have had the stomach bug have often covered my clothes or bed with what I'm sure you can imagine. It was so strange and quiet only having 7 of us at the table for breakfast the other day.

Little Samuel woke up sick today. Our almost 8 month old baby has officially outgrown most of his 0-3 month clothes and is weighing in at 12 1/2 lbs! He's over tripled his birth weight!

I'm still battling with a kidney infection. Tuesday I hurt so bad it was difficult to walk as every step sent a stabbing pain to the lower right side of my back. Wednesday and Thursday were better, but last night, I was shivering and aching so badly that I couldn't sleep. Daniel got me some cold water and tylanol and once it "kicked in" I slept great and woke up feeling better.

Although my body has been hurting, the past few months I've had a hurting heart too. But yesterday and today, I've just wanted to sing for yesterday the Lord gave me so much peace, joy and a blessed assurance over something that I had been battling with for weeks.

Since coming to the mission field, we have learned what it is to give up all for the sake of Jesus Christ. Thankfully, the Lord has not asked us to give up everything at once. As the old saying goes, I am learning to hold all I have with an open hand rather than a closed fist as it hurts much less when the Lord wants to take it from me.

When I first got to the field, I had so many "romantic" ideas of missionary life. Even though I had read many missionary biographies, I truly did not understand. I have re-read many of those same books now and how many of their words could be my own.

I know I haven't blogged as much this year as I have in the past. In part, we've had a busy year, and I try to carefully guard the time I spend at the computer. But the other part is that I blog about what the Lord is doing in our life and ministry here and this year has has been filled with many tears, doubts, fears, and struggles.

I have had so many days feeling so very broken. Something very dear to me had been taken from me and I felt so misjugded, misunderstood, and hurt.

God is not the author of confusion (I Cor. 14:33) but of peace but I was so confused and had no peace. My pillow was wet with tears and so many hours of the nights were spent praying to the Lord to answer.

How I wanted Him to answer and help! It seemed to take so long. But know God does not ignore our cries; He does not want us to suffer. He allowed my heart to sorrow for He had so much to teach me still.

On the field we have learned to give up houses, lands, possessions and know the Lord would take care of us. We have understood lonliness and gone through many trials. And again, God was teaching me more...lovingly allowing me to suffer rejection and learn forgiveness and brokenness.

In trying to work things out in following the Lord and my husband, verses were given me by others to convice me that what I was doing was wrong.

Satan knows God's Word. He used it when he tempt Eve; He used it to tempt Christ. But He never uses it correctly. How important it is for us as women to be under our husbands!

I had a battle inside me. Will I give up what I want? Will I rest in knowing that I am accepted in Christ and be pleased to be counted worthy of Him no matter what others may think?

Faith is not by sight. We don't always understand and often the way just doesn't seem possible, but the peace that comes from trusting God and His Word knowing He never fails!

The longer I am here, the more I long to be used by the Lord. And the more I see how I'm only able to be used as much as I am empty of self. I want to be able to share Christ with the hurting, broken, lost around me and not just give them the "right answer" but to KNOW the One who heals...to know what it is like to have a broken heart and have the Great Physician heal it!

And the harder the road gets, the more we have seen the Lord work. The more I submit to my husband and trust him as the Lord desires, the more He is used! May I never be a hinderance to the Lord using Daniel.

Tuesday, out in the village, the men got angry. Carlos said he thought that they were going to get stoned. One of the men said he could not understand why Daniel had not been run out yet. He's been going out there for over a year and not one has believed. But two are so close. Please pray!

Our church here offers one thing...to know and be reconciled to God through His Word, the Lord Jesus Christ. We are simple, preach the simple wonderful gospel, sing simple hymns of praise, and have simple classes for the children. So many are coming that we often have no room to put them. So many needs, so many hurts, and so many coming to know the One who heals and satisfies all.

How good is our Lord! How much He cares. The longer we've been here, the harder it has been, the more I know God and His great love. He's taught me so much and the more I learn, the more I see how very little I know and the more I am amazed at how much He loves me and how good He is.

Thank you for praying for us; may the Lord Jesus Christ be known!

My Little Disasterpieces :)

Look how big I'm getting! (Thought we'd start with some happier pictures from last week.)


You'll have your smile back soon little Samuel.

Not feeling good Mommy. Even without your smile you are still my beautiful miracle baby boy.



Noah was whining and crying almost non-stop all day. I was so happy when he finally settled down. I love the term Uncle Joel taught us when he came to visit...we use to call them "basket cases" but now our little masterpieces are "disasterpieces" :)



Kitty keeping Beka warm


My poor sweet babies tugging at my mommy heartstrings all day

Forgive any and all typos...I've got a whiny little Nehemiah glued to me again today.

Thank you all so much for praying for our little troopers. Some felt better this morning and ate some and spent about a half hour coloring with me at the table. Other than the coloring, I had them stay in bed and either rest, read, draw or sleep. It wasn't too hard to convince them. Little Eliseo and Samuel felt worse today :(. Samuel only drank about half his bottle at each feeding today; he's still losing quite a bit in the "diaper", so I'm watching him very closely to make sure he stays hydrated. The body aches/head aches seem to be the hardest on everyone and they say it hurts so badly when they cough.

Have you ever noticed that fevers always seem to go higher in the afternoon/evening? By around 4:30 pm, everyone was back to crying, whining, and only wanting to lay down. I'm monoriting their fevers every couple hours to make sure they don't get too high; I like to let the fever work if it's not too bad and they are tolerating it okay. If I keep them on the medicine, then they think they're better and always want to get up and do something, but then usually end up feeling worse than if they had just stayed down and rested.I'm going to put them all officially to bed in a bit and will give some tylanol or motrin to the ones who haven't had it recently so they sleep comfortably.

I've also noticed that the littler ones can tolerate higher fevers than the older ones. Eliseo and Samuel will rest even if they are on medicine, so I like to keep them feeling as good as possible so they'll drink well. But while my older ones complain after a fever of a degree or two, the younger ones just "act off" but don't seem to stay down unless they hit a bit of a higher temp.

Uncle Samuel spent all night last night in the bathroom :( Brother Carlos said he was moaning. It was just Daniel, Brother Carlos, and Elijah who headed off to church this morning. They got home pretty late because Daniel had to run Uncle Samuel's route and we also started our annual children's Christmas Choir practices.
After Daniel left for church this afternoon, I moved everyone into the family room as I needed to clean the kitchen and fold laundry. I pulled a tv out of storage and let the children watch some Moody Science dvd's. This worked out good as I was able to tend to them much easier being all in one room rather than spread out all over the house :).

Thank you for your "notes" of encouragement; they truly brightened my day. It was like getting a bunch of "get well" cards! I also appreciate the concern many of you have had for my infection. Daniel and I had already decided that if this round of medicine did not take care of the problem (3rd try now), I'll go down to the capitol city as soon as I can as I think we've exhausted all our medical resources in our area.

But I know we can never "exhaust" our prayers and how grateful I am for how the Lord always takes care of us. My dad would always say to me that there is no safer place to be than in the center of God's will.

Pray Uncle Samuel feels better soon; he's such a blessing to us here and we sure miss him. Pray for our church people as Daniel said some of the children in Sunday School were feeling sick and attendence overall was low. Tomorrow may be a good day to make my jumbo pot of chicken soup...some for us and the rest to share with our friends. Okay, now to offer some toast or broth for supper, give out medicine and begin the process of getting them all to the bathroom, transporting all their blankets and pillows and tucking them in with hugs, kisses and prayers. :)

I must say that I do thank the Lord so much for we have been blessed overall with very good health the past couple of years. We've had some major medical events :), but as far as the flus/colds/tummy bugs etc... that take down the entire crew, we've had few and far between. God is so very good.

Coloring in the Lines

Good Morning Samuel. Feeling a bit better today :)


I think we've just turned a corner. Instead of everyone going downhill, we've leveled out, started to climb a bit, and are on that twisty turny part of the road...the part (if you get car sick like I do) that seems to drag on and on and makes you long for straighter roads. :)

We are having generally happy mornings with most wanting to eat breakfast and do something which eventually culminates around noon with much whining, complaining, bickering, grumpiness, and tears. And sometimes I want to join them.

They eat a little lunch and nap and then we start the process again until it's finally time for an early bedtime.
They are feeling well enough to not want to lay down all day long, but not well enough to stay up all day either.

They are feeling well enough to want to play some (color, legos, trains, lincoln logs) but usually not well enough to clean up the mess afterwards :)

They are feeling well enough to want to eat but still have delicate appetites and all want something "special" which may be 10 different things.

And they are feeling well enough to play and visit together, but sick enough to be very over sensitive and cry over everything. :)

And I do understand. Nehemiah and Eliseo are still so sick and cough and want drinks all night long. And so I'm tired. And I know how I can be easily offended or complain when I don't feel well or am over tired. And I spent part of today acting accordingly.

So after lunch we all talked :) I know I can tell my children what is right. I can teach them what the Lord wants from us and be very sincere in my teaching. But until I learn and do it myself, what would I really be teaching them?

So mommy had some apologizing to do :) And they are always so forgiving, so it makes it easy :) I then could talk with them about our past couple of days and how we very well may have several more days where we are not all up to par. We talked about being kind and sensitive to others and then being forgiving and asking the Lord to help us not complain easily. It's harder to do what's right when we feel grumpy/sick/sad/hurt. But that is where we can see the Lord work for if we ask for His grace, when we are weak, He is strong!

So with that, the ones who were up to it helped pick up the big messes and put away the clean laundry and we all rested. Ahhhhh. :)

And while there is still some whining and the like, it is better and best of all, I feel joyful which is just how I want to be.

Baby Samuel is doing better it seems! :) He's smiling more and seems to not be running much of a fever anymore. He took it so much better than the other children; the Lord is good!
Brother Carlos is pretty sick now. I know he appreciates your prayers.

I was able to see a specialist yesterday for my kidney infection. Another antibiotic...BIG capsules (the bigger the better?) :). I don't think I'm running much of a fever today, so maybe??? :)

I have some pictures you might enjoy from the past two days...all taken in the morning as nobody is up to much after lunch. Yesterday, a few of the children wanted to color. I colored with them for a bit and just listened to their conversations. Nehemiah's expressions were just priceless and so I traded my crayons for a camera:

Susannah: Look Nehemiah, I can stay in the lines.

Nehemiah: Wook! I can 'tay in the wines too
Susannah: Your getting out I think


Noah: You can't stay in the lines Nehemiah. You're only 2. I'm 5 so I'm really good at staying in the lines. Right Mommy?

Mommy: What do you think about that Nehemiah?


Why do you need to stay in the lines when mommy always loves your pictures anyways :)




Here's our Little Eliseo. He and Nehemiah won't get of bed today, but I got a few smiles yesterday :) We've been praying about this little boy's eyes for some time now and it looks like we may be able to get the surgery he needs to correct them early next year.

Finally, between last night and this morning, I got all the girls hair washed and braided. :)
And they all gave me their sweet smiles :)
Not all better yet, but so good to see them on the mend.
Soon we'll be back to full time school, work, and all the activities that fill our days. So for now, I'm enjoying these slower days where I have more time to write, think, and thank God for the many blessings He gives.

Cotton Organic Baby Clothing

It is only in the recent past that people have started realizing the widespread usage of chemicals in the growing of plants and fibers and their use in the manufacturing of clothes. In this world full of toxic chemicals, an organic way of living is highly desirable. More so, if the people concerned here are our family. Though organics are essential for everybody in order to lead a healthy lifestyle, but babies with developing brains and bodies are especially susceptible to the hazards that chemicals pose. Hence organic surroundings are absolutely essential for babies.

Probably the most preferred fabric for use in baby clothing is cotton. Its main advantage is that it allows for circulation of air thus keeping the body cool. Also it absorbs the excess moisture and keeps the skin dry. Keeping all these benefits in mind one would think that cotton is the best cloth for babies. It is, but for the huge amounts of chemicals that are used in its production. In fact, more chemicals per pound are used in cotton production as compared to any other crop. Even before it reaches the manufacturing floor, the cotton that’s used for the manufacture of most mass produced clothes is saturated with pesticides that have been used on the cotton plant during the growing process. Manufacturing of the clothes also involve use of chemicals or harsh dyes, which can be absorbed into the baby’s skin when it comes in contact with it. Baby skin being rather sensitive, makes them very susceptible to several allergic reactions.

However the fiber for the organic baby clothing, is grown using methods which don’t make use of pesticides. Natural means of pest control are used by the organic cotton farmers. This keeps the cotton safe and also chemical-free. Once cotton has been picked, it is sent for manufacturing, where it is processed without using chemicals or bleaches or harsh dyes.

Today there are several easy-to-find websites which sell organic baby clothes. Also, the increasing customer demand for organic clothes has brought their prices down and organic clothes have become much more affordable. Most of the parents would be willing to pay a slightly higher price which could seem immaterial considering the overall benefits of using organic clothes. Another plus point for buying organic clothes for your baby is that they’re manufactured with much higher standards and if taken proper care of, these clothes can be used for the future babies. Thus these clothes can turn out to be excellent investments.

Apart from the organic baby clothing, organic cotton baby bedding, diapers and other accessories are available that allow you to assemble a complete organic set of belongings for your infant. Always remember to look for organic products that are 100% cotton, preferably from reputed brands, and ensure that they are washed with a baby laundry detergent before your drape your baby in them.

These products are soft, warm skin and nourish the skin from within and is easily absorbed.

Herbal products and those containing natural milk, essential oils, natural perfumes are the best creams and body lotions that can be applied in their delicate skin to keep it fresh, soft and beautiful.

Wonderful Baby shower games to liven up the party

If you want to make your baby shower party an event that people remember, better make it loads of fun. Which is not an easy thing to do, considering that you will be having an odd mix of people. Different ages, different relationships and different expectations are coming together at a baby shower party. You will call friends (yeah, the ones who went crocodile hunting with you last year) and members of your family (including your crabby uncle whose talk centers on his arthritic pain). Getting all these people to lighten up is going to be hard work. That is why you must choose baby shower games carefully.

Tips to keep in mind while selecting baby shower games:

*

Keep them short
*

Keep them easy
*

Baby themes are best
*

Have no more than 3-5 games
*

Interactive games are the best

These days, finding the right baby shower games is somewhat easier than before because you have a host of websites dedicated to selling baby shower games. The advantage of buying these readymade games is that you can get cool games, with all the stuff you need in one go. All you have to do is distribute the cards (or puzzles or tickets or whatever it is) and the game is ready. Takes a ton of work off your back, doesn’t it? Besides, these games look very attractive, which is a surefire way of impressing your guests.

But, if you’re the type of person who believes that you can pull off something original, here are some ideas.

Finding the winner:
