Nursery : Pumpkin Theme

Fritz is currently 31st months 1 week

Pumpkin Theme
As we didn't celebrate any Halloween in our tradition, so I just prepared Pumpkin Theme for this week. Fritz was so excited with these new things and he was totally enthusiast with what we did during this week.

Day 1
We started the day by introducing the letter to him.

poke the dough

He's able to recognize the letter P and the Pumpkin itself. "It's pumpkin, Mama!"


He could trace the letter with less help from me. He tried to do it by himself. It looked nice!! ^^


Introducing letter J for Jack-O- Lantern. He also knows this letter. {so proud for him}

Again, he showed that he's now able to trace the letter with less help from me. Good job, boy!!

It's really amazed me that he's getting great. When I asked him which one the different pumpkins from the row was, he could point it and circle it correctly.


He thrilled with it. He traced it very nice, however he asked me to help him in the wavy lines in the the 3rd paper. ^^

Day 2
He sorted between the Jack-O-Lanterns and Pumpkin. So far, he could do it.

It's a BIG hit for him. He was so into in this puzzle. He managed all by himself as he knows the numbers exactly.

He didn't get the Graph concept. He's so excited in throwing the dice :P Again....again.....and again he threw the dice and didn't stamp the graph....hahahahhaha......

Day 3
He still didn't get the concept but he could paste the picture by looking the pictures in its row. He almost chose the correct picture before applied it in the paper.

Again....he extremely loved this puzzle. As there's a number in the template, so it's very easier for him to paste this puzzle. He learned to recognize the number after 10.

He made it successfully even he chose to paste all the small pumpkins first the he continued medium to big. He proudly posed for me. ^^

Day 4
He has to clip the correct number using the peg. He made it nicely first, he counted the objects and took the peg and clipped it. Done for 2-3 cards. And....he purposely took the peg and clipped the cards before he counted though he knew that he's wrong. He did again and again as I always said "tetot" sound for his wrongdoings. As I sounded that as more he did it wrong. -__-"

He continued with puzzles. For the 1st puzzle it's easier for him as it's only from 1 to 10 but it's getting hard for him when he did the 11-20 puzzle. He couldn't be able to do it.

Day 5
In the 5th day, we just made a little Jack-O-Lantern. I asked Fritz to paste our little pumpkin that we'd bought before at Bandung with eyes and mouth printable.

ABC


He continued with this activity. He learnt the letter and matching the shadow too. It's very an exciting way to learn Alphabet.

Math
I've bought this sticker book a year ago, I thought, when one of big book store gave big discount for every book they sold. Then, I've never showed it to Fritz. I always bring it inside his purple box every time we're going home.

That morning, he saw the sticker numbers and so excited to make it. I was so surprised as amazed with his ability in counting the objects.

Role Play


Recently, he loved to play with his cars toys and sometimes he played it as same as he's seen in the movie. Sometimes he used his imaginary and acted as he's seen in the scene. For example when Mater saw McQueen's back from the rally in Cars 2.

And this was when I was being asked to come to see. Of course, I took my camera in a rush and he posed for me. ^^

Learning Toys

He pretends as a chef who could cut the vegie using knife. Hahahahaha......look at his small hands. So cute!!!

Miscellaneous


He saw my picture (college pics) in the table near our bed and he could find me in that picture. Then, I gave him another pics from my college and I asked him again to find me among my friends. He again could find me.

I've an idea. I gave him my life cycle pics that I put in an album. It's from baby to work period of my life. When he saw a baby, he said that it's him. He said again and again to my toddler pics that it's totally look alike with him. He claimed my toddler pics were him. It's so amazed to know that my face was alike with him.....God's creation!! ^^

Fun


Wow....he wanna slide (again) now.....

There's one time, he refused to slide as he's got a little trauma when he slide. It happened when we played at Giggles.

It really took time for him to get his confidence to slide again. And yesterday I saw him sliding again without any doubt. He went up and slide. He proudly showed it to me!!

He met new friend and she's a girl. Both of them were enjoying playing together. They went up and slide down together. It looked so nice seeing him could make a friend with other.

After that, I took a challenge to bring him to the big indoor playland, still inside Ace Hardware. They provide a big space for kiddos to play with slide and many challenging toys.

I didn't take any pictures there as I was busy to watch him over. He's a little bit not confident there and few times he got "stuck" with others. I still encouraged him to be braver and wanna take a challenge there though in the end he cried loudly as his forehead bumped because of a little accident by a baby boy. Hahahahha...that's life, boy....^^



On Sunday, we had guests in our little Apartment. They're Om Donald, Tante Davi and Rafael, his bestie. However, Fritz was not in his mood as he's sleepy already when they came. He couldn't share his toys with Rafael (Ace) and so many times he's cranky. I think Ace got frustrated with Fritz then he hit Fritz in his face as Fritz always cried and cried. Hahahaha......
