Attending Peggy's Wed Party

Attending Peggy's Wed Party
This was the first time for Fritz not being cranky in the wedding party. I was so happy to see it. He could walk here and there. Being nice and humble to everyone. Giving his hand to greet them. Eating the dinner together with us. What a nice boy he was at that night!

However, he's not really nice till the end of the party. When every kids were getting sleepy because the late of night, Fritz was so. Firstly, he wanted to be carried with Ali then few minutes later, he asked me to carry him till we got back to the car. ~_~ *heavy*

This was the complete personals party.
- Donald, Davina, Rafael, both of Davi's parents.
- Anto and Jeanne (both of them are domicile in Singapore)
- Vidor, Thiya, Lona and Vidor's Mom
- Arief & Yossy
- Jule & Bea
- Wendy & Ko Chin
- Jimmy
- Alex, Dian, Keyla and the baby inside
- Ari, Emil & Kairi
- Melissa Padang
- Sari & Future hubby
- Linda & hubby
- Felix, Winny and the baby inside
and maybe some friends I couldn't remember it one by one...

I met my chat's friend and she was Ali's friends too; Tephen, Ernie and O'i

And my memory was back to 5 years ago when I met Ali for the first time. It was the same place, Kelapa Gading Sport Club. Same months but different date.

It was Don & Davi's wed at that moment. I was a freelance of Violet Wedding Organizer after finishing my college. And it was Peggy who had "helped" us in our first journey. I worked for Peggy at that moment to help maintaining the wedding and Ali as the guest receiver with his others friends.

Now, we attended Peggy's wed party with Fritz is in our hands. What a memory!

Toddler : 17 months 4 weeks

Toddler :  17 months 4 weeks

This week, I'm still adjusting with my new time as there wasn't any maid in my family's house. So, I'm still out of focus with what Fritz's learning. Hopefully, next week, I can maintain a good time.

Learning Toys

*Chopstick, Dough and Bottle*
In Monday morning, we started the day with the learning toys. Today, I gave him some chopsticks, a Fun dough and a bottle. He explored all those things.
First, I gave him the chopstick and the dough. I asked him to stick the chopsticks into the dough. Then, look what he did...
Next, he has quite bored with the dough. Then, he put the chopsticks into the bottle. Just need few minutes only.
The last one, he played pretending. He pretended that he was eating noodle using the chopsticks. He also shared the fake noodle to me. And when the noodle has almost been finished, he hold the bowl and pretended cleaning the rest of noodle in the bowl....What a cute!!

*Robot Shape*
Actually the activities was in Tuesday, but I just have time to post it a few day after.

When I gave it, he didn't really into it. He still couldn't play it. He just hold the hammer and peeked through the holes. May be we can try it later! ^^

*Pooh Puzzle*
Believe it or not, I've got it from my Mom and she had bought it for only 5 thousand rupiah.

Still, he can't play with it. He needs time to practice as it was the first time I gave to him.

*Balls in the tub*
"Balls are the greatest toy in the world"
Barney said so in one of his stories.

Considering what Barney said, I gave these various colorful balls when Fritz was taking a bath. Actually, we had bought it when he was still under a year. Then, I just put those in a basket and never used it anymore.

He has quite fun with these balls. He took a ball out from the basket and put it in the other basket. He did it continuously.

*Piggy Bank*
Friday morning, Fritz wanted to play the Mickey Mouse's piggy bank when he was having breakfast.

Then he just modified it. He put all the coins from the bottoms. Look what he did! Nice try, boy...

Reading Book

*Part of Body*
I bought this book in Gramedia, Puri Indah Mall with the other series.

Fritz just loves to see this part of body's book. He also can point the right parts when we mention the name in English. Such as: eye, ear, nose, mouth, hair, chin, elbow, fingers, hand and sole

Miscellaneous

*Wearing Sandals*
One day, I found him using his sandals in the house. He refused to open it.

I think, he copies me. I always use sandals inside the house and he always reminds me to wear it if I forget to use it.

Look what he did! He insisted to open the drawer and found his treasures, Mickey Mouse.

*Drinking from Bottle*
Next, he pretends drinking water using a bottle. He copies his Poppa's style. Sometimes, he asked me to put a little water inside it and he drank through it.

*Watching the Cobbler*
I called a cobbler to fix my broken shoes for the party this Saturday. Fritz was so curious with what the man did. So I let him to see him.

When we were outside, he wasn't so curious anymore, he just got busy seeing cats, motors, cars and others in the street.

*Watching TV with style*
After taking a nap in the Friday afternoon, I turned on the TV inside our room. And.....he showed this style!

Going to Church again

Going to Church again
Finally we arrived at His house again. We went to St Laurentia Church, Alam Sutera after I took my private class with Jason and Jeffry. It's really a nice church!

I love this church. They prepare a room for babies where no one can hear how noisy inside. They really concern about it. We sat inside it with some of babies and toddlers also.
Though I (I didn't know bout Ali) really hard to concentrate with the sacrament, I felt so happy being there. Fritz also has shown his comfy. At least, he's not crying when he heard the piano sound or the choir and even when the Pastor took roles in front.

I think, we can consider this church as our next destination...Love it so much.....

Toddler : Lebaran Weekdays

Toddler : Lebaran Weekdays
Fritz is currently 17 month 3 weeks

Monday Things

We're still having Lebaran holiday. So no weekly plan I made for this week.

*Throwing the dust(bin)*

I teach him how to put the used things into the dustbin. He knows exactly! Today, suddenly after I asked him to throw away the used tissue, he got the bin. Because the bin was too big for him, he hold it. I didn't know what was in his mind while doing this. He became so busy body, walking around holding this bin. @_@

*Learning toys: ABC magnet*

The washing machine is down now during Lebaran holiday to help us washing the clothes. I've got an idea to put some ABC magnet that I bought for 10,000 rupiah in the Hypermart to the side of the washing machine. So Fritz can play and learn some alphabet. Now, I think, he can recognize "O" and "A", but I'm not really sure as he always says "ou(r)" when we pass Carrefour and some big alphabet he saw in the way.

*Learning toys: Piggy Bank*

He asked me to play with it. No more words to say, he experts on it. Loves to see him doing it full of concentration!
*Watching Barney*

Opa has bought Barney VCD for him when we went to Margo City on the first day of Lebaran. Today, he's got his opportunity to watch it. It's about BJ is practicing how to do some tricks in basketball. Though he has tried lots, he still couldn't be able to do the tricks. He got upset and sang a sad song. Guess?? Fritz was too empathy with what BJ's feeling. He's gonna be crying. His eyes were red already but then he's smile after that. That's the first time he's watching. In the afternoon, he asked me to turn it on again. And...he's crying after that. ~_~ really sad!!

*Playing with Opa's medicine bottle*

He really loves to play with it. He can pretend and imagine that he drink a medicine through it. So cute to see him playing pretending like this!

*Eating with chopsticks*

This boy is really an observer. Today, he tried to use the chopsticks that we always use for eating noodles. Look! He was trying to get the Opa's noodles using the chopsticks. He can hold it properly. Just need few more times of practice, boy!

Tuesday Things

*Going to traditional market*

This morning, I, my Mom and Fritz were going to the nearby market by motor. This is the 1st time experience for Fritz has been there. He saw so many things related with Mickey Mouse. Like usual, he always points to them. What a great experience! (unfortunately, I didn't bring my camera.....)

*Going up the ladder*

He did some gross motor skill today. He went up to the second floor by himself with a little help and full of guidance from behind ^0^ (Avoiding from falling!) Now he can pull up his body when he's stepping the steps. But, he still can't do the going down the steps. Practice more, boy! Anyway, he's so proud when he could finish his steps and arrive at the second floor safely....\(^0*)/ yaaaaay.....(no pictures insert...)

*Sorting the buttons*

When we went to the market, I found some buttons. I bought 5 colours of buttons and the seller gave me 1 free....*Yay*
So, this noon I gave Fritz these buttons to be played. First, I just opened all the buttons from the plastics and he put those in the bottle one by one. Then I prepared 6 small boxes (ex of his baby cubes) and I asked him to sort it by its colors. Guess?? He wasn't attracted! He was still busy to put it inside the bottle and twisted the lid. He is so into in twisting the lid. Still can't do but hardly learned to do it!

*Playing with the floating animals in the tub*

I got his floating animals out from the basket. He used to play with those. Now, he is able to recognize the animals when I tell its name though not all the animals he can recognize it well.

Wednesday Things

The day was so cloudy today.

*Going to market (again)*

Today he went with my Mom and bro, but suddenly it's raining. I thought it's the best time for Fritz playing in the pouring water. My mom didn't give this big opportunity for him. She was too afraid if Fritz will be sick later. So both of them waited while my bro was getting a car to pick them up. Maybe next time we will have fun in the rain, boy!

*Going to Emporium Pluit*

We got bored already at home. In this cloudy and a lil breeze outside (it's good weather to get some nap actually ^^), we decided to go to the mall. Actually, Fritz has felt so sleepy but he still didn't want to sleep in the car.

He shows his abilities in the car. He can point some vocab we mentioned. "Where is the.....?"
All in Bahasa:
- hair
- forehead
- eyes (both language)
- nose (both)
- mouth (both)
- ear (both)
- cheek
- chin (English only)
- neck
- fingers (both)
- hand
- elbow (English only)
- toes

He also can point these things (all in Bahasa):
- cloth
- pants
- shoes
- flag

Friday Things

*Going to the market*


There's something unusual when we went back from the market today. Not the things I had bought (it's just a 5 thousand rupiah of shrimp and a box of risol), but it's about Fritz.

Believe it or not, he can walk by himself from the market till home. More than 5 times I asked whether he was tired and needed to be carried..and the answers were always the same, waving his hand. Though, we had to walk in the bright sunny day, still I accompanied him walking home with sweating around my back and face. It's really so hot! At least it can make our bone's strong, right?
*Fun Time @Rafael's B'day*

When we came, Raf still fell asleep. Fritz was playing with his toys alone. He played with the toy car. He learned how to move his feet.

Raf has waken up, he's joining with Fritz. Fritz showed unfriendly gesture. Huh! I really need to teach him how to socialize. He's really not good at it.

Fritz didn't want to share the toys though it's not his own toys....Gee!! He grumbled then wanted the others. He's crying when he lost during the battle with Raf. He must really learn from it.

I think, he needed almost few hours to be settled with the environment. He adjusted with the things and people around him. And it's totally different with Raf. He gets easily to attach with someone new.

I'm so jealous with Raf. He can eat a lot. He is so friendly. He is so active, he moves here and there. He has lots of toys to be played and it's made him smart. He can speak now while Fritz is still mumbling. So many things I got jealous with Raf....I really wanna Fritz be like that...Hehehehhee.....(totally wrong perception coz every kid has their own abilities!!!)

I learned a lot from today:
- Fritz really needs to brush his teeth using tooth paste of baby
- Fritz really needs to be stimulated by talking with them along the day
- Fritz really needs many toys to be played and it's really so impossible as we don't have any great money.
- Fritz really needs good environment to develop
- Fritz needs to trial in some of preschool to maintain his social skill

Spent time with my best fella

Spent time with my best fella
Today, I really got a bad morning day. I just ran away from my home to let the tense out of my mind.

Together with Fritz, I went to Ali's shop for few hours. We really spent the time as a family. Being together that we seldom have now.

Then, the day became so hot. I didn't bring any Fritz's stuff too. We had to buy a shirt and pants for him.

Fortunately, my beloved fella, Indah Kriessanty was in home. She has resigned from her work couple weeks ago. Then we moved there to spent the day.

I'm so jealous with her. She has a great mom ever. Her mom is raising 3 girls and still taking care of them till now.

She cooks everyday for them. Delivering and picking up them to school, univ and now to the work place. Raising by own her hands without any nanny help. Doing the chores without any complains. Still she's happy to do that.

I wanna be like her, really!
I love raising the children by my own without nanny help as well as doing the chores too. It looks so tired but I have one role to be followed and I believe I can do it!

I really love spending the day today with one of my best fella who has same thought with me and can give me the right solution of my problems.

I just can pray for her, she can make peace with herself of the problems she faces now.

Everybody has their own problems to be solved out and it's just need maturity to get out of the problems itself. Just let me learn through this problems!
