Rara comes home

Finally, Rara managed to visit her (future) house at Benhil, Central Jakarta. She didn't stay long, though, only spent a night there. At least, she had aclimatized to the environment and the neighborhood. She looks happy there, at least she didn't seem to complain.

We had to do some major rearrangement to the house. To accommodate her box, we need to move our closet and drawer to the other room. Consequently, our study desk in the other room needed to be moved out. So after she arrives permanently, I would have to do my work outside in the living room. We also had to move out some furnitures to give space in the living room, as well as moving the TV and sofa. Last but not least, we also bought a new air conditioner for our room. That means we also need to rearrange the electrical, telephone and TV cables. What a preparation for the little queen...

Although she had only been away for a night, that was enough to create a 'discontent' in her grandparents' house in Bintaro. Everybody already felt an emptiness without her. On the other hand, her cousins Richard and Ben, who lived just one block away in Benhil, protested when Rara had to return to her grandparents.

In Bintaro, her grandparents have already waited with a new stroller-and-carseat. She did not take much time to mark her territory on it - with her pee and poo within five minutes...

Meanwhile, brother Ben had a theological question about Rara's religion...
