Forget about the days when it's been cloudy,
but don't forget your hours in the sun.
Forget about the times you've been defeated,
but don't forget the victories you've won.
Forget about the mistakes that you can't change now,
but don't forget the lessons.
Forget about the misfortunes you've encountered,
but don't forget the times your luck has turned.
Forget about the days when you've been lonely,
but don't forget the friendly smiles you've seen...
Forget about the plans that didn't seem to work out right,
but don't forget to always have a dream.

Karina
Akhirnya jadi juga mulai nulis setelah lama "cuti". Rasanya sekarang nggak cukup 24 jam sehari 7 hari seminggu. Bisa nambah gak ya... he.he.he... Sejak princes kami lahir suasana di rumah jadi makin "rame". Karin suara nangisnya muantepp. Kakakku bilang "do tinggi". Calon penyanyi neh. Klo dah nangis... mmm... lumayan bikin semua tetangga tau klo ada warga baru di rumah kami. Sukurnya sekarang udah makin baik, nangisnya gak separah dulu.
Sudah mau diajak becanda. Karin dah mau ketawa, dah mulai miring miringin badannya. Belajar telungkup. Aga juga senang ada adeknya. hobinya tuh ganguin klo adeknya lagi tidur. "dek... adek..." manggilnya nggak bisa pelan. Trus klo adeknya dah bangun, eee.. ditinggalin ama Aga. Dah ya dek .. katanya.... memang nih bang Aga makin pinter.
Dan seperti anak anak lainnya, Aga cemburu juga ama adeknya. Kadang dipukul tangannya. trus itu dibujuk lagi... pinter ya ....

Keep Believing in Yourself
There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren't the way you had hoped they would be.
That's when you have to tell yourself that things will get better.
That's when you have to tell yourself that things will get better.
There are times when people disappoint you and let you down.
But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.
There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them.
Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you.

It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are.
So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.
Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.

Ulang Tahun Aga
Tanggal 21 Maret kemaren Aga pas 3 tahun. Ternyata tanggal lahirnya sama dengan hari Down Syndrome. Kebetulan kali ya ? :) Walaupun tanpa perayaan, kami bahagia sekali sudah melalui 3 tahun yang indah ini, penuh tawa dan air mata dan tentu penuh ucapan syukur atas muzijat yang sudah kami terima. Kami hanya beli kue yang kecil, trus pasang satu lilin di atasnya. Aga ikutan tepuk tangan waktu nyanyi slamat ulang tahun dan gak sabar mo niup lilin.. :) Dan Aga juga langsung lipat tangannya waktu bapaknya bilang "kita doa dulu ya sayang". Perayaan yang sangat sederhana tapi penuh makna buat kami sekeluarga.
"Selamat Ulang Tahun anakku sayang, berkat Tuhan selalu melimpah dalam hidupmu. "

Keinginan
Beberapa hari yang lalu dapat informasi dari Mbak Wid klo Bu Noni lagi ada di medan. Kabar baik nih... pengen sekali bisa ketemu beliau dan bisa sharing tentang banyak hal. Cuma ya itu... klo dah hari libur, sabtu dan minggu selalu sudah ada jadwal yg diatur jauh jauh hari. Mudah mudahan lain waktu bisa ketemu bu Noni......
Ada dapat yang suprise juga ternyata, bu Noni kasi tau nomorku ke Mamanya Rizki, dan akhirnya kami bisa sharing tentang "anak special" kami. Mudah mudahan bisa ketemuan juga, berhubung Rizki tinggal di luar kota.
Mudah mudahan lagi kami kami yang di medan n sekitarnya bisa ngumpul sperti yg sering dilakukan bu Noni n prens di jakarta.
Supaya bisa saling berbagi dan anak anak spesial kami bisa lebih pintar lagi.....
Semangat...................

Menarilah dan terus tertawa
Sebaris kata kata itu ada di lirik lagu Laskar Pelangi, salah satu lagu yang sangat aku suka.
Mimpi adalah kunci untuk kita menaklukkan dunia
......
.......
.......
..............
Menarilah dan terus tertawa
walau dunia tak seindah surga
bersyukurlah pada Yang Kuasa
cinta kita di dunia.......

Bijak
Beberapa waktu yang lalu aku terima sms dari seorang kakak,
Wanita bijak melukis kekuatannya lewat masalahnya, tersenyum saat tertekan, tertawa disaat harus menangis, memberkati saat terhina, mempesona saat mengampuni, mengasihi tanpa pamrih dan semakin kuat dalam doa dan pengharapan.

Luar biasanya Aga
Menjalani hari hari yang penuh suka duka ternyata membawa makna yang sangat besar buat kehidupan kami. Nggak terasa bentar lagi Aga akan ulang tahun yang ke tiga. Amat sangat luar biasa, nggak pernah terbayangkan kalau Aga bisa selincah dan sepintar sekarang. Buah hati kami yang sangat “special”. Kadang bisa senyum sendiri kalau teringat tingkah nya yang bikin gemes. Perkembangannya, hmmmm banyak kemajuan.
Makan sendiri, sudah semakin lancar, tapi blum bisa makan nasi pakai tangan. Bisanya pakai sendok. Klo makan kue atau jajanan lain sih pake tangan udah lancar… car.. car….
Minum sendiri, sudah oke, nggak pake tumpah, udah kayak orang besar minum.
Pegang benda dengan jempol dan telunjuk, sudah makin lancar juga. Klo ini salut ama suamiku, telaten banget ngajarin Aga sambil main main, dibeliin kacang atau makanan yg bentuknya kecil trus diajarin makannya musti pegang pake jempol ama telunjuk. Paling suka klo diajak nulis nulis atau menggambar…. Walopun yg digambar Aga nggak jelas bentuknya, dia paling senang pegang pinsil. Sampe dia hapal lo dimana tempat nyimpan pinsil dan bukunya.

Lari… masi perlu diajak lebih sering lari lari.
Melompat…. Masi perlu latihan, masi blom bisa.
Melangkahi benda benda…. Udah makin lancar, masi perlu dilatih lagi.
Pakai sepatu sendiri…. Masi dalam proses, mudah mudahan makin lancar. Klo buka sepatunya dah mulai bisa,
Pakai baju sendiri…. Blom bisa, masi diajarin juga….
Pakai celana sendiri…. Blom bisa juga, Cuma klo pas dipakaikan celana Aga dah tau angkat kakinya.
Keseimbangannya masi kurang, tempo hari kami ajak jalan di atas papan blom lancar jalan dari ujung ke ujung.
Naik sepeda roda empatnya udah lancar sekaleee… paling suka ngebut…. Kadang klo dah malam bisa berantem nyuruh Aga bobok, maunya main sepeda terus.
Ngomongnya yang Aga masih sangat kurang lancar. Masi bahasa planet. Yang paling jelas itu dia bilang mamak, bapak, teh , ak (maksudnya makan), klo yang lainnya masi sepenggal sepenggal ngomongnya. Berhubung Aga udah kami masukkan play group, terapi bicaranya Cuma bisa tiap sabtu aja, mungkin kurang sering ya jadi ngomongnya masi nggak lancar.
Yang dibilang ama bu dokter memang betul, ngajarin Aga musti sambil bermain, jadi dia lebih semangat dan gembira, nggak merasa dipaksa.
Hobinya Aga baca buku yang gambarnya besar besar dan gambarnya itu musti gambar mobil, truk, bus, sepeda, sepeda motor, anjing, ikan. Klo gambarnya yang lain, Aga kurang tertarik, sebentar aja bukunya dah ditinggal.
Paling hobi juga main bola. Ntar klo pulang kerja dia dah tau tuh ngajakin mama nya main bola, dia langsung ambil bolanya trus narik tangannku buat nemanin dia. Kadang cape juga pulang kerja pengen istirahat, tapi ngeliat muka nya yang sangat gembira klo pas main bola jadi hilang capek ku.
Hobi barunya sekarang ini nyanyi sambil joget ato mukul meja pura puranya itu gendang. Nggak tau dia itu nyanyi lagu apa, yang jelas senang aja ngeliatnya. Padahal Aga tuh Cuma bilang u ..u..u…. bapak… a..a…a… bapakkk… uu..u..u….

Klo dimarahin dia juga dah pinter ngebujuk. Ntar nanti klo aku dah diem aja sambil ngeliatin, dia dah tau klo dia bikin salah, trus dia dekatin aku sambil senyum, pegangin tangan ku trus dia panggil, mamak… mamak….. klo masi di diamin juga dipeluknya tuh, klo aku pas lagi duduk ya udah de, Aga langsung duduk juga dipangkuanku sambil meluk trus nepuk nepuk bahuku. Luluh de gak jadi marah, Cuma aku bilangin aja salahnya Aga itu dimana dan yang baik itu gimana. AKu usahakan sekali ngga pake kata “jangan”. Untungnya sekarang Aga makin ngerti kalau dikasi tau dan nggak merajuk seperti dulu.
O ya... Aga juga sekarang suka usil. Nanti dia taruh telunjuk nya di mulut, pura puranya bilang ssstttt... trus dia tunjuk bapaknya sambil jarinya di gerak gerakin kayak mo gelitikin gitu. Trus dia ajak aku ngagetin bapaknya sambil gelitikin....
Ato klo gak dia pura pura bisik bisik sama ku, trus nunjuk bapaknya trus ketawa sambil nutup mulutnya.... Ada aja de tingkahnya yang bikin ketawa. Senang sekali melihat perkembangannya yang makin hari makin maju.
Kadang kasian juga si klo aku pulang kerja dah kecapean dan ngga terlalu aktif main main ama Aga, pasti de dia mulai merengek. Maunya main main terus, ketawa ketawa, lari lari, pura pura kejar kejaran, main bola, main motor motoran, main sembunyi.... duh... pokoke batere nya Aga itu nggak pernah low .... on terus...... :)
Lebih baik juga kan daripada dia diem aja.

Social Growth Begins at HomeDo children really need other children
to become socially excellent?
One of the great modern myths is that children need other children to become "socialized." The exact opposite is true. The notion that little children learn how to be civilized from being with each other has little to recommend it. What can a three-year-old teach another three-year-old? Answer: How to behave like a three-year-old. When we place tiny children together, the result is chaos. If one child is a biter, then other children get bitten and learn that biting may be useful in self-defense. Generally, this is not the kind of social idea that mothers want their children to have. Sometimes mothers are convinced to put their child with other children in what are called "play groups" or "kindergarten" because mother wants her child to learn to share. Mother believes that this cannot be learned at home from her. Sharing is an admirable and worthwhile objective. But two and three-year-olds are not ready to share anything. Instead, they defend their belongings against any and all comers. The "play group" only stays civilized if each mother stands right next to her child and protects that child from all the other children in the group. "Sharing" occurs only when mother pries the beloved toy truck out of her child's grasp and hands it to another child, who then gets a death grip on the truck until his mother says that he has "shared" the truck for long enough and it is pried out of his grasp to be returned to its little, very anxious owner. If the above scene takes place without a mother with each child, then the result is much worse. Without mother at his side, the child will simply fight to keep his toy or be overpowered by a bigger, more aggressive child. He either learns to fight or to flee. Is this socialization?
Civilized behavior begins at home.
When little children are herded together like so many little lambs with only a few shepherds to protect them, we are foolish to expect "socialization" to be the result. Little children do not need other little children to become socialized - they need mother and father. Civilized behavior is learned at home from mother and father. Children learn right from wrong from mother and father and grandmother and grandfather, or they do not learn it at all. The longer a small child spends with his mother each day, the more civilized he will be. The less time he spends with mother each day, the less civilized he will be. All mothers know that. Take This ChallengeArrange for your child to spend more time with you every day and less time with other little children. Be consistent, fair, and honest in all your interactions with your child. In a few months you will have a more mature, kind, and helpful child, but, even better, you will be spending precious time with a wonderful companion who will love and support you for the rest of your life.

Met Natal n Taun baru ya prens.......... telat woiii..... tapi lebih baik telat dari pada gak ... ya kan... he..he..he.... Akhir taun kemaren ternyata tidak seperti yang kubayangkan. Banyak sekali "tantangan" yang bikin ????? Apa pun itu yang penting semuanya sudah berlalu, mudah mudahan semua lebih baik di tahun ini.
