Toddler : Happy Birthday, boy

Toddler : Happy Birthday, boy

He's now 2 years old.

In his 2 years old, I'm going to share some his abilities and routines he does daily. And the school days was off. *yay*

He LOVES reading books and magazine so much. He can treat all the books and magazines very nice. He's never torn those.

He starts wanna do something by himself. Like he did one day in the noon when he saw a water bottle that we've got it from Mom's friend. He successfully opened the lid and drank it carefully, all by himself.

He enjoys playing with elders. Sometimes I ask him to join with my classes. He likes to play with my students and sometimes he giggled a lot without any reasons. Love to hear it! He also likes to sit on the chair and get a pen then do scribbling.

He also likes to play with dough in his 2 years old. He always asks me to make Mickey Mouse from it. And in this pic, I asked him to do pouring the soft things from cup to cup.

The big day comes!!
25 March 2011

He turns 2 years today.

He loves the crunchy cone sensation actually.

Fun
*Swimming time*

It's a sunny day..It's the right time to go swimming.

I filled the float. He looked so excited. When I asked whether he wanted to swim, he said yes. So, I just let him playing with the float in the bed. He was so happy.


I prepared all the stuffs and decided Pop would join with him as I still have my period. Then we went to the pool at 2.30 noon. Hot day!! ^^


He refused to take off his shirt. So just let him using it. When he went in the float and he felt there's a water under his feet, suddenly he's crying. That was the time he's getting crying.

When Pop brought him to the middle of the pool, his crying was getting louder. Then, it's over. Swimming time was over and he didn't want to get in anymore.

We stayed for 1,5 hours asking him to swim and he still refused it. -__-"

He was really an extraordinary boy. I think he's the only boy who doesn't like swimming. HUHUHUHUHUHU........

*Playing with Koko*
After I finished with my private student class, Fritz and Pop picked me up. Fritz was so happily playing with these 2 big bro (Koko). They love to play with Fritz also. They had Cars cars and Toy Stories toys. Love to see them playing together.

*Living World*
After playing with 2 Koko, we went to Living World, a new mall near their house in Alam Sutera. We just walked around as there's not much to see. We just went to the stationary shop and a toy shop (Toy Kingdom). Fritz was excited when we've got there. Then I saw these animals in the side of their shop, big jungle creatures. Fritz was so afraid with them. Hahahaha...

*Visiting Popo*
We took a time visiting Popo (Mom from Pop's side). She looked so happy when seeing Fritz. He also showed friendly though we didn't meet each other for a long time. He easily attached with her.

We spent time by going to Carefour at MOI. We needed to buy some groceries for Fritz. We didn't take lot of time there as it was dark already. So we decided to get home.

In the middle of the way, we decided to see a birthday cake. We went through AJ Bakery and Home Made bakery. To be honest, we didn't have enough cash to spend for the cake. I think we're gonna buy the small cake for his b'day later.

Then, we bought our dinner at Aceh's. We ordered Fried Rice for Fritz. He didn't eat lot as he's getting poop after that.

It's quite much fun though just spent for few hours only. Unfortunately, we didn't take any photos.

He really LOVES to "help" me in the kitchen while I'm trying to cook his meal. He's so into in tasting the salt and sugar.

Today, I gave him a bowl and I put a little sugar and salt. He sat down nicely and tasted it using his fingers.

*Eye : Watching Movie via Cell Phones*


He LOVES to watch his fave movie from my cell phones (E71 Nokia). As we use WiFi inside our home, it's very easy to watch from YouTube and he sometimes asked me to turn it on via my phone.

Miscellaneous
*Sleeping on da Basket*

He starts to be active this week. One night, he saw this laundry basket under the bed and he asked me to put it on the bed. Firstly, he's scared to go in by himself and asked me to hold his hand. After few trials, he's finally brave doing go in and out all by himself. He did it again and again. Then, I put a pillow inside it and he pretended to sleep there.

*On the front Car*


One afternoon, he insisted to get out but the weather was so unfriendly. Then, I put him on the top of the front car. He stood up there and made some styles like these....love the pics so much!

Sunday School
He woke up so early in the Sunday morning. I decided to bring him to Sunday School.

He looked so enthusiast when we came. Few minutes after singing time, he chosed to get around. Then, we stopped by in one empty class where there use to as a kindergarten class. There's lot of toys there and he chosed to play with the blocks. He loves to play with it so much.
When it's time for the creativity, he refused to join with the class. He's still staying there and I was the one who took the creativity for him. *Fiuuuuh*

In the end, we moved to the church while the rest of the children were still staying in the school. He ran away!

Fun : Playing in the Mall
He insisted to play with the remote control's car. We have to pay 10,000rupiah for a short round. For me it's quite expensive cry But he looked so fun with it. It's paid!


He looked so sleepy when I decided to move to the free playground in ACE hardware. They prepare a little space for children to play with the slide. Fritz looked so enthusiast. He LOVES playing with the slide. He went up and down by him and I just stood there watching him.

When I asked him to stop and said it's time to go home, he was so angry. Really a big angry from him. He shouted loudly. He showed his emotion already. And it's a big job for me to help him control his emotion in the public area. What a big job!

He's so into with button. Every time he sees someone wearing a shirt with buttons, he will announce "buttons...buttons"

When I gave this to him, he made a little improvement. He did with a lil help from me.

Yaaaaay!!

He improves his Alphabets...and he enjoyed himself placing these alphabets into the mat.

*Remote Control Cars*

Then he found this toy also in his undercover presents box, the remote control car. Of course it's not suit for him as he's too young for it. Again, he insisted to play with it. When the car went under the chair or it's far away from his eyes, he took it and made it near. So what's the functions of the remote?? >,<

Gross Motor : Up and Down

He's down..
Going up..
Going down...

Down again..

Then, I gave up watching him!
