Fritz is currently 28 months 3 weeks
This week, we celebrated Indonesia's Independence Day on 17th August as well we celebrate a year we do the Home Education for Fritz. There's so much we did in a year and Fritz is "growing" so fast in learning. I really happy to write all his learning development here.
During this week, we had lots of Indonesia things and I took lots of time in making scrapbook. SO there's only few pics I had to post.
Traditional Toys
Playing Karet
This game used to be famous in Primary kids. They always played with their friends and sometimes they brought it to school to be played with their friends in the recess time.
Nowadays, I've never seen kids playing with it anymore as they're too busy with the school things. The worst part when the technology era came around year 2000. Everyone are too busy with their gadgets and forgets already with this stuff.
Karet or rubber....the easiest item can be seen everywhere. They hooked one rubber with other rubbers to make a long rope. Then it can be played with 3 or more person with some rules and I forgot already the rules. ^^
It's a very exciting toy every....
Playing Congklak
Congklak is also a traditional toy from Indonesia. I bought this toy for Fritz when we went to Popo's house. We bought it on traditional market for only cost 8000 rupiahs.
Fritz still couldn't understand how to play it, so he just tried to fill the holes with the beads. He's so exciting playing with it. It's also a nice game ever though we just play with two person.
Races
Every Independence day, Indonesia always have some race games in every around our neighborhood. Many kinds of race games are held to celebrate our Independence day.
As Fritz was too small to follow some games, I maintain some games for Fritz that suit for him.
Eating Krupuk race
I tied a rope and tied the krupuk to be eaten by Fritz and Uncle. It's a small part of krupuk actually. Fritz was so excited to join this game. He asked more and more the krupuk to be tied.
The rules of this game actually don't allow the player to hold the krupuk by their hands. They have to put the hands on their backs. The fact, Fritz was too excited and preferred to grab it by his little hands. Again...again, Momma......^^
Marble race
This was an easy game actually, just move the marbles from one place to other place by using a spoon. Fritz wasn't enjoyed so much. He's got frustrated when the marble felt down.
Overall, it's a nice race we had!! ^^
Traditional Food
The most favorite Indonesian food....rujak!!
It's very easy to make. Prepare some fruits, usually we use the colorful and crunchy one such as bengkoang, pineapple, papaya, unripe mango [so sour] etc. We cut it into small pieces and dip it on the sauce. The sauce itself was made from palm sugar and nuts. We crush it together using stone mortar and pestle. We can add some chilies to make it spicy.....
For Fritz, I just made the simple one from his favorite fruits; apple and pear. He cut it by himself using a plastic knife and eagerly dipped it on the sauce. "yummy" ^^
Gross Motor
Fritz is an extraordinary boy. He doesn't really like swimming...
{what?! some of moms are gonna raise the eyebrow....^^}
Yes, I know it's weird enough as EVERY kids like water, swimming time, having fun with water and ALL about playing with water.
Fritz loves to play with water, loves to stay in his tub during his bath time and it's really takes lots of time to ask him out from it.
Buuuuuuut never asking him to go inside the pool....he's gonna scream so loudly if I ask so....He just has his fun to stay around the pool rather than play inside.
For him, swimming is really a nightmare. He prefers to play around the pool than go inside it. ~__~"
So this activity is one of my "therapy" for him to be familiar with water. Hopefully, one day he's gonna ask me cheerfully to go to one of water park as me and my hubby are dreaming of it....
Fun

*Visiting Higuain*
Fritz was so amazed when he saw this baby. He is one of Mom's best friend's son. He just born on 11 August. He looked so cute and looked like Fritz before. Mom was really missed the moment when Fritz was still baby. The time flies really fast.....
*Bazaar*
Fritz has came to Bazaar as Mom and Pop had a stand there. He's got a free milk from Energen, of the stand there. He really enjoyed so much as it's his first time he drank that kind of cereal milk....till the last drops! ^^
