Playing with Kimi

Fritz, Fritz-citement
Playing with Kimi

On Sunday, one of our relatives has come to our home. They are my mom's sisters family; the twin sister and their dad, together with Kimi and the maid.

I asked them to play in our room.

Fritz has shown bad attitude. He refused sharing the bed with Kimi and also the toys.

He grumbled when Kimi sat nearby.
He grumbled when Kimi hold his new BB's toy.
He grumbled when Kimi tried to read one of his book.
Then he laughed when Kimi cried.....-_-'

In the afternoon, we spent our dinner at Gokana Teppan, Puri Indah Mall. Just my family only. (^o*)

Those photos were taken when we're waiting for ice cream from KFC....\(*o*)/
Fritz loves ice cream so much!!*wohooooo*

Lebaran Holiday

Fritz, Fritz-trip
Lebaran Holiday
Day 1

Got bored already at home!

Then, we decided to go out...and we planned to Depok as my bro wanted to know this area.

It's a long road to go there, took almost 2 hours in the car.
We spent the day at Margo City. We were starving already as it was 2 pm and we didn't get our lunch yet.
We gobbled our lunch at Solaria. Fritz, like usual, played with the pencil and a paper. He scribbled and scribbled then he got bored. He just took a few spoon in his lunch. He preferred walking and looking around.
Then we got a big frozen yogurt at J-Co after that. So yummy.....*slurp-slurp*

Fritz didn't like the sour things and he just ate the almonds and a little bit spoon of the yogurt.

When it's time to go home, my mom asked to buy some breads. So we decided to go to Serpong. Whoooooa.....it's really a long road to go there as Serpong is in the west side of Jakarta and Depok is in the south side of Jakarta.

The bakery was closed when we arrived there. >.< style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">lontong sayur for the last time. FYI, we had eaten it since yesterday, for our lunch, dinner, next breakfast and the last was our dinner. So it meant we ate it for 4 times.....\(^o^)/....

Day 2

8.00 AM

We were already prepared all the things and ready went to Bogor!! *YaY*

Arriving Bogor at 9.15 AM...then my Mom asked going to Puncak better than stayed at Bogor. Then we rushed to Puncak before we got stuck in the way.
I saw a beautiful rainbow purposelessly when I was staring at the sky.

First destination was Cimory.

The atmosphere was totally different when I've been here 4 years ago with my ex colleges partners in Kinderworld Montessori Preschool.
Last time, the cows were so many and the ranch wasn't too small. We just can see the ranch from outside. Then they added some toys in the playground. And most of all, they really prepare so many tables in their restaurant as so many visitors come and enjoy their dairy products. The other thing is the weather wasn't as breeze as 4 years ago.....it's really hot!

Fritz has been enjoying the playground and drinking strawberry milk.

I just recalled my memories back when I hold my ex fave child in school when I've been there, and now I hold my own child. Time is really going so fast!

Next destination was having lunch at Ikan Bakar Cianjur. It's really far far away. We took almost 3 hours in the way because of lots traffic jam. Fritz was so boring in the car. He couldn't do anything. He got stuck!

And yay....we arrived finally. We had lunch and much fun there. Fritz didn't want to have his lunch and preferred saw a toy shop there. He found lots of Mickey's stuffs there. In the end, we bought a miniature of Blackberry. He loves it so much!

We passed Bandung when we were going home, avoiding traffic jam from Puncak to Jakarta. We arrived at 9.30 in the night.

Toddler : Lebaran Holiday

Fritz, Fritz-homeschool
Toddler : Lebaran Holiday
Fritz is currently 17,5 months (17 month 2 weeks)

As this week we have an Eid Mubarak, Fritz hasn't learnt like usual. We just did for 3 days only and the 3 days left we really have much fun with my family. We spent our weekends out of town. \(^0^)/ *yay*

ABC's : Coloring Cc
Based on the pictures..

From the top left, he did the coloring in the floor using color pencil.

Not more than 5 minutes, he stopped

I put a table and a chair. He sit down and his eyes to Playhouse Disney channel. Just take only few minutes. Then he got bored already.

Then he set his own table. Using his previous chair as the table and a small chair of Pooh.

Not more than 2 minutes, he finished already.

Done!

Practical Life
*Transferring beads using plastic glass*
I prepared 2 plastics glass for him and filled it with few of beads then ask him to transfer it from one glass to other glass. He still needs to control his hand. He just loves to put the one glass with 2 or 3 beads then he pours it to other glass.

Learning Toys
*Horse Toys Ride*
He asked me to ride this. He moved it up and down. Then opened and closed the saddle. Looking the stickers around it. The fact was he just rode it for a while then he was busy with the appearance.

*O-Puzzle*
I had bought it few months ago but Fritz never enjoys playing with it. He always spilled out the puzzle from the box and threw away.

I tried again this week playing with these puzzle. The shapes are extraordinary, O shape puzzle. There are 16 animals and we have to match the head with the legs. It's so an educative toys I think.

Though he still can't match it well, at least he didn't throw away \^0^/

Fun
*Spending Time with Rafael*
On Monday, we met Rafael, one of Poppa's best friend's boy.

We spent much time with his paternal grams and Rafael's mom, Davina.

After we had dinner time at MKG 5, then we moved to Timezone for having fun.

Fritz and Rafael were playing cars together. They really have fun much though they didn't talk each other. >.<

Reading Books
*Pooh's Sunny Day Songs*

It's a book where we can push the buttons and sing along through the songs. We can see the lyrics from the inside book. The story itself is about what Pooh and friends do in the sunny day and the songs related with the story itself. Nice book!

*Mickey Mouse Clubhouse : Up, Up and Away*

Like usual, he always and always loves everything related with Mickey Mouse. He had read it for many times and loves it so much!!

*Pooh : Air*

It's an educational Indonesian text book of Pooh. We can learn all about air.

Miscellaneous
*Mickey's Bottle*

I had bought it few months ago and I really got lazy to wash it. On Sunday, when we want to go to a mall, I asked my maid to wash it. And Fritz loves so much drinking using it. He can drink lots lots of water....^0^

*Wallet*

Recently, he is really into playing with our wallet. He put all the things out from the wallet.

The left picture is Uncle K's wallet when he played in his room and insisted asking to hold it.

The right ones was my wallet. I'm not using it again and I put some name cards, member cards and some photos inside it. And look what he did to my used wallet. He got all the things out from it. Haaaaa........>.<

Mba Siti is going home town....

Cerita Ethep,
Mba Siti is going home town....
11 months has passed and it's time to say goodbye to Mba Siti, my family's maid.

So many stories happen...

When it's the time to say goodbye, I just felt I'm losing her much.

She is a tough woman, I think. Everyday was nothing left without mistakes she made. There were always many things lost on her works. And sometimes it's quite silly and she got my high tense.

Though sometimes I got really anger to her, she was still trying her best to do what I want. But I was never know what was in her heart. Maybe she got hurt feeling lots with my bad words. And I really regretted what I did to her and it has been late to say "sorry" to her.

I still don't know she will come back again or not. We are hardly to believe in her words. One time she could say A statement then the next days she has change her mind and made B statements and so on.

So, we're just waiting for the result on 15th September, whether she'll come back or not.

Toddler : 17 months 1 week

Fritz, Fritz-homeschool
Toddler : 17 months 1 week

Colors : Orange
This week, we started the day with painting Orange colors in the drawing book. He really couldn't wait to paint on it. He wanted to grab the brush when I was mixing red and yellow paint and just showing him how it mixed.
In the afternoon, we did the pasting together.
Orange things are Orange flower, Orange pumpkin, Orange carrot, Orange onion, Orange orange and Orange goldfish

ABC's : Coloring Bb


He's not really into it now especially with crayon. I had postpone it since Monday. He always refused to color it. I help him in the end. I think I have to find some other ideas about learning this.

Shape : Square
I took a square shape from his shape sorter. I think it's too big and can't be used as a square stamp. And Fritz didn't feel so comfy with it. When he saw his hands were so orange, he got cranky and asked me to clean up those.

Math : Coloring #2

Again, he didn't so into it. And in the end, he posed...again!

Learning Toys
*Mega Blocks*

He still can't stack the blocks by himself. I just help him to stack those then I ask him to take it off and put it on it's box.

For the first time, he wanted to do it but I can't get it with my camera. I left my camera in my room. So I just left the moment. -_-'

Then, I took the camera and I asked him again to take the blocks off. And here the results
*Piggy Bank*

Actually it is a Mickey Mouse and Friends' Bank, not a Piggy Bank shape. ^^

It supposed to be for the last week post and I didn't have the pictures yet. As he wanted to play with it today, so I got it.

He actually excels in doing this. He can put some coins to the Mickey's castle as he loves Mickey so much. Though sometimes it's according to his mood. If his mood is fine, he will put all the coins inside but don't ask if his mood isn't fine.
*Shape Sorter*
He really can do it alone by himself, just a little guidance from me. When he did it, he's mumbling something and I really couldn't understand what his mumbling. Full concentration!

*Thomas Train*He got it from his 1st birthday presents. It's a Thomas Train with some features he can play with. We can put some batteries under the wheels so it can move and produce sounds with the eyes wiggling. Looks so funny actually, but I do not put the batteries. Then there is ABC and 123 shape to be sort of. He obviously can't do it by himself. It's still not suitable for his age actually. So I just ask him to put in and out the shape from the door from the back of the train. He really loves the phone one!

*ABC*

Another birthday presents....

It's very useful to learn ABC. Though he didn't like much of the sound (as in his laptop), but for sure he will someday.

Practical Life
* Transferring water using sponge*

New things for him...

He put the sponge into the *gayung* and he squeeze it in the others. He did it many times...

I put the sponge in his armpit and he laughed!

*Mopping with rug (pajamas pants)*

One morning when I asked him to put his pajamas into the basket, suddenly he found some enjoyment. He mopped the floor using it. Then after more than 5 minutes he was busy with it, he moved and cleaned up the TV board. I really didn't wanna disturb what he did. Just let him explore what he likes!

*Chopstick into the bottles*

I've got this idea from some American's homeschooling blog then I modified it a little bit. I used some bamboo chopstick and a used milk bottle and let him to put all the bamboo chopsticks into it.

*Beads on the bottle*

I modified it from the chopstick then I gave him the beads. It's hang up for only few minutes. Then he got bored already and moved to other activities. That's kiddos!

Reading Books
*Spot*

I got these 6 series of Spot in Gramedia, Serpong and just cost ten thousand rupiah each. Fritz was so enjoying reading one the story, "Spot goes Holidays"

*Touch and Feel*

One of my parents' student gave some books she had to me a year ago. It is one of them. Honestly, I really can't afford to buy it by my own. And thanks to God for it!

Miscellaneous

*Okay sign..by joining his pointer and thumb into a circle shape and the rest fingers are pointing up.


*Writing with pen*

Always be his fave things to do. He can grasp the pen correctly now. He is on practicing how to put the lid.
*watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse VCD*

I bought it for Rp 5.100,- each in front of A&W Resto at Carrefour Puri Indah on last Saturday. I bought 3 items, 2 for Mickey Mouse and a Little Einstein. He can't stop watching it, he asks for many times...Look! How seriously he is when watching his best friend!
*Ipad Miniature*

Hahahahaha....:O

I got it very cheap at Carrefour Puri Indah. It's not more than ten thousand rupiah! When I gave him, he loves playing it. It really looks like an Ipad, the booming gadget for nowadays. Look! He can hold the pen stick correctly.

*Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Magz*
He never gets bored to read it many times. The one and only, he just wants to see Mickey inside here.
I never be afraid to give him books or magazine to him. He can use it properly, never tear those or do something bad. He can open pages by pages with his small fingers and he knows when it's upside down.

*Pouring soup using spoon*
Then it's time for taking lunch. I made soup for him, just macaroni, carrot and peas. Like usual, he refused to eat. And here he did to the soup.And yes, he did pouring the soup from the bowl to my plate. What a boy!!
