That's What Friend Are For

Mom-notebook,
That's What Friend Are For
When something bad happens to us, some friends are still being with us to help us solving our problems.

Sometimes, they remind us to HIM to let our problems being solved by HIM that we forget.

Just wanna thanks for Jiska, Indah and Ithine...three of you have helped me with your words. It really helped me so much and it means a lot!

I'm still struggling for my best and hopefully I'll know it soon.

Toddler : 5 Senses

Fritz, Fritz-lightenment
Toddler : 5 Senses
Fritz is currently 23 month 3 weeks

Picture
Theme for this week was 5 senses. I didn't prepare much works for him.

Activities
*Matching the Pictures*

I had prepared these pics long time ago and I've never been used it.

I asked him to match the pics, the big one to the small one, vice versa. He did well though he unfinished it well. He could recognize the pics.

"Izzie...eyes..momma"
"Nose...Izzie"
etc...

*Mouth : Sugar and Salt*

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.

*Ear : Listening Music through Ear Phone*

He tried to listen some music through my earphones and he totally loved it. Together we spent the day by listening the music with it and our eyes were watching Cars. What a nice day! ^^
Tracing : Straight Lines
He is getting use to do the tracing lines. He actually loves to make it though sometimes it's quite difficult to ask him.

Math : Sticker #2
He's trying to recognize number 2 using sticker.

Practical Life
*Transferring Marbles*

He enjoyed it so much for maybe half an hour playing with it. He spooned the marbles then transferred it to other place. After we didn't play much with it, he finally expert did it. Great job, boy!

Learning Toys : Lego Duplo

I think he's not really like to play with bricks. He sometimes just wants to make out all the bricks then he refused to play with it. He doesn't very into it but he's so INTO in tidying up all the bricks back to the box. biggrin

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!

The Power of the Dream by Celine Dion

Mom-notebook, Song
The Power of the Dream by Celine Dion
Deep within each heart
There lies a magic spark
That lights the fire of our imagination
And since the dawn of man
The strength of just "I can"
Has brought together people of all nations

There’s nothing ordinary
In the living of each day
There’s a special part
Every one of us will play

Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
As the world gives us its best
To stand apart from all the rest
It is the power of the dream that brings us here

Your mind will take you far
The rest is just pure heart
You’ll find your fate is all your own creation
Every boy and girl
As they come into this world
They bring the gift of hope and inspiration

Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
The world unites in hope and peace
We pray that it will always be
It is the power of the dream that brings us here

There’s so much strength in all of us
Every woman child and man
It’s the moment that you think you can’t
You’ll discover that you can

Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
The world unites in hope and peace
We pray that it will always be
It is the power of the dream that brings us here

Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
The world unites in hope and peace
We pray that it will always be
It is the power of the dream that brings us

The power of the dream
The faith in things unseen
The courage to embrace your fear
No matter where you are
To reach for your own star
To realize the power of the dream
To realize the power of the dream

Toddler : Transportation Week

Fritz, Fritz-lightenment
Toddler : Transportation Week
Fritz is currently 23 months 1 week

Picture

I've got the idea from Homeschooling Creation. She made lots of Transportation activities and it's so gorgeous. I took all her idea for this week.

Activity : Matching Cards

This was his first puzzle. He has to manage these puzzle into a right object. He was too young to understand it, I thought. He couldn't do it well but he knew which one was the missing parts. I'll keep it for later. Hehehehhehe.....

Craft
*Traffic Light*

Preparation:
* a black construction paper
* red, yellow and green origami paper
* glue
* scissors

How to do:
1. cut the black construction paper into rectangle shape
2. make a circle in every origami paper
3. ask the kid to paste the red first, follow by yellow and the last is green
4. tell the kid what is the function of traffic light and what does the mean in every color

*Box Car*
Preparation :
* an empty box of milk
* a light blue construction paper
* origami paper
* glue
* double tape
* scissors

How to do:
1. put double tape on two side of the box
2. make 2 car shape with light blue construction paper
3. cut 4 wheels, 2 windows and 2 lights using origami paper
4. paste the wheels, windows and lights on the car shape using a glue
5. paste the car shape into the milk box by taking off the double tape

Tracing : Airplane
He's not ready to trace this various lines. However, he was still showing his enthusiasm while doing it. He wanted me to guide him though in the end he made it out of line. Hahahahhahhaa....

Song : The Wheel on the Bus
The *wheel* on the bus
**Goes round and round
Round and round
Round and round
The wheel on the bus
Goes round and round
All through the town

The word wheel and goes round we can change into these
* door - open and shut
* people - up and down
* wiper - swish, swish, swish
* horn - beep, beep, beep
* baby - wee, wee, wee (crying)
* mommy - says shh, shh, shh
* coin - cling, cling, cling
* driver - move to the back

Reading Book : Transportation Vocabularies

I started by Barney's books and Spot. Then I just remembered that I had this vocabulary book. I took it and I mentioned the things followed by Fritz. So far, he can mention some of the vocab there.

Practical Life
*Buttoning*

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.

Learning Toys
*Car Riding Toys*

Now, he is able to move this car using his feet as before he was too lazy to move it. He can move here and there by himself. Going up and down too!

*Cars Toys*
He enjoyed himself playing role play using these cars. This red car is his favorite one.

*Alphabet Mat*

Yaaaaay!!

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

*Trains*
He's got this toy when he was having his 1st b'day. I put it in the box and he found it. He insisted to get it out and wanted to play with it. He loves the vehicles things. He called this train "Thomas" as in Thomas and Friends. Everything bout trains is Thomas. ^^

*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 up...
He's down..
Going up..
Going down...
Up again..
Down again..

Then, I gave up watching him!

Miscellaneous
*Boy in hat*

I really love this pic so much. He looks so adorable with his cute smile and big hat on his head....

Now, he can ask us not to take a pic of him. He's gonna say like this...
"ga...usah...foto...ck..ahhh....iseng...."
(no...need...(take) photo....ck (click the tongue)...ahh....iseng (can't find the synonym)"

*Ice Cream*
This was his expression when having a cone ice cream in one noon....so yummy!!
