Tracing : Straight Lines

When he did tracing, he felt unsatisfied if the lines weren't nice. So he did more and more and it looked like so many lines there.... Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!

Book : Barney goes to Farm

Before sleeping in the night, Fritz likes to read some magazines he has. And I put this book with them and we read it together.

Barney, BJ and Baby Bop came to a farm. They came to help the farmer. They feed the horse, milk the cow, took chicken's eggs, rode a tractor, picked corns and other vegetables. It's a nice story to recognize what we do in the farm.

Learning Toys
*Dough*

Dough is still big hits for him this week. His favorite spot is sitting right in front of in front door.

I made new things for him. I made an airplane, a cat and a car. Actually, I wanna make animals related with the theme this week, but he refused it. The one that I had to make is Mickey's face. He loves to put the eyes, ears and mouth into it.

He practices his soft motor skills by rolling the dough into balls in his hands and paste the dough into the proper place, e.g the eyes, ears and mouth or the wheels of the car.

*Dinosaurs*
Yesterday, when we went to a mini mart, they put a sale toys in front of their mart. I saw a dinosaur packet and it's just cost 9,000 rupiah. So I just got it and asked Pop to pay for it. *yay*

*Wooden Wire*
He just found his old toys. Because of the wire has broken, I didn't allow him to play with it and I just put it very far away from him.

So when he found it, he insisted to play with it. Now, he is able to play properly with this wooden wire. He can move the beads from up to down, left to right and to other sides. Cihuuuuuuuuyyy ^^

*Farm Animals Puzzle*
He didn't too much interest doing it as he is so expert in it. So when I gave to him, he didn't want to complete it. I have to give it more than once this week. It was the 3rd times and he did it!!

Miscellaneous
*Thunder*

When the thunder stroke in, he went to Uncle and stayed like this....he was so afraid of thunder!! Look at his pale face.....cute!

*Crossing feet*

I love this pic so much!!!

Both of them were standing in front door and they stood up alike each other.

The situation:
Pop had a phone from someone and he stood up with crossing feet. Then a few minutes after that, Fritz came nearby and copied what his Pop did. Crossing his feet as well as his Pop did!!

Fun : Jovann's B'day

This week we had attended Jovann's 1st b'day. They held the party at Hoka Hoka Bento, Alam Sutera.

It was a nice party but Fritz really didn't like the party at all. The one he loved was seeing the cake, full of his fave's characters. There were Mickey & friends plus Winnie & friends. He stared the cake for long time.

The rest of the party, he preferred to play outside with Pop and Mabelle and her dad. Dads talked each other about their kids development while Moms (Mom and Tante Mega) were having chit chat inside and enjoying the party. It's a reunion for Mom! ^^
