Toddler : 19th months

ABC's : Coloring Gg
He starts boring again with this coloring pages. He wanted to do it just for few minutes then he was busy to play with the color pencils instead.

Shape : Rectangle


Actually, this activity has done for a long time that I also forgot when it was. ^^

When he did it, he got stuck with the glue stick and didn't want to continue pasting the rectangle shape. So I just postponed it till he wanted to do it again.

Today, I showed him the sheet and he seemed like he wanted to do. I gave him the shape and asked him to paste it. He did it just for one time and he refused after that. He insisted to play with the glue stick like he did last time. He cried enough to get the glue stick from me. Ugh!



Color : Brown


Actually, we had finished the painting on last week. Then, I didn't continue it till this week. I combined 3 colours to make brown. I mixed red, blue and yellow altogether to get brown color. And look! He loves to paint it on his drawing book. It's totally nice!

After the painting was dried already, I gave him some brown pictures. There are Koko Crunch cereals, Brown Bear, Brown Horse, Brown Monkey, Brown Guitar, Brown Cake and Brown Bread.

Practical Life
*A screwdriver & Mr Repair-boy*
He found my small screwdrivers collections in my bag. He got one and he opened the drawer pretending as a repair-boy. He pretended to repair by putting the screwdrivers into the nuts. Oouuugh.....what a boy!!

*Stamping*
I have a box of bear stamps. Unluckily, I don't have the ink and stamp pad for playing with. I always forget to buy it.

So today, I changed the ink into the paints. Though it's not as fun as the ink, it's a little bit nice when we stamped with it. And the result wasn't as nice as the ink actually. Nice try at last!

*Cleaning up using clothes*
He discovered his trousers in the bed after taking a morning bath. He took and enjoyed playing with it. He put his hands into it as he wanted to use a shirt. He thought that was a shirt, misunderstood concept.

Then after a while, I found he cleaned up everything with it. He cleaned up the cupboard, the washing machine, his uncle motorcycle, Opa's chair and the last I asked him to clean up his horse riding toy. What an industrious boy!

*Sorting the buttons based on its color*
Actually the first activity was playing with the numbers flash card I made. Then I grabbed some buttons to count the quantities with those. In the end, he was busy playing with the buttons. When I asked him to sort, he just took few minutes to do it and he decided to play freely.

Learning Toys
*Thomas Train*
Hooray! Now he starts to put the things correctly based on its shape, though he still needs guidance when doing it. I'm so glad he wanted to learn how to put the right things by himself. Great job, Fritzee boy!

*New Toy in a tub*
Phiiiuuuffff....

Finally, he wanted to take a bath again in his tub after I got his new toy from his presents during his birthday. It's a floating boat contains of sorting animals and a blue sea lion squeezer. It's nice toy. He likes it!

Recently, he was so difficult when taking a bath. He has to cry aloud when we ask him to go bath. I guess it's because of some trauma and I can't figure it out what's wrong with him. Hopefully, with his new toys, he wants bathing again....^^

*Magic Board*
Playing with the magic board...Holding the pen correctly...writing # 1 on it....

Book : Barney, Going to Dentist
This noon, he asked me to open the books drawer. He got the books out. Then he chosen to read Barney, going to dentist.

It's about Ashley who wanted to go to dentist. She met Barney there. Then Barney accompanied Ashley going inside the room.

When Ashley opened the mouth widely, I asked Fritz to do the same thing. He wanted to. Then I gave him a mirror as Ashley did.

He knew this story lots!

Miscellaneous

*Drinking by himself*
This was the new style of him, drinking the water by himself. He wanted to drink without any help from me. My boy is big now!

*Imaginary*
He imagined an umbrella by using a single pencil and a knob of the drawer while he was watching a movie.

*His pictures*
In his free time, he didn't know what he wanted to do. Mostly, I gave him a piece of paper and a pencil or a pen to let him scribbling on it. He LOVES it much!

Sometimes, he asked me to hold his hands for drawing some things like these
We don't need to make as well as the real one. Just make it similar.

Mickey Mouse, it's the one which always have been there and always be the first one to be drawn. Just make a big circle, add 2 small circles as the ears then put the eyes, nose and a smile.

Next is elephant. Make a big circle as a head. Then make the 2 big ears and a long trunk as its nose.

Piggy, draw a big circle, make 2 ears of pig, add 1 small oval inside the head as its nose and draw 2 small circles again inside as the nostril.

and so on....we can make it as our imaginary pictures. After that, I usually ask him to point at the pictures I mentioned.

*Eating by himself*
In the Saturday noon, I let him to eat by himself and he was really into it. He added for 3 times, of course just small portions each. I was so happy to see him wanted to eat my cook. Look his expression!

*Playing with tongue*
He has new abilities, playing with his tongue out. Before, he never successfully did it. He couldn't make it. Since he can make it, he always shows off to us. What a boy!

*Watching the pouring rain*
Heavy rain recently...what a bad weather!

It's so cold when the wind breezed..and Fritzee boy was watching the pouring rain. What was he thought in his mind?

*New water bottle*
Breakfast time...having a peanut butter with a half slice of cheese bread and eating by himself using a small fork.

Let me introducing!
A new drink bottle from Lock n Lock. He likes it much when I gave him for the first time. It's easier for me to give him drink, coz there is a straw inside it. I like this bottle too but I don't absolutely like the price! It's so expensive for a bottle like that, cost 45,500 rupiah...-__-"

When I offered 2 bottles in front of him, a 22,500rupiah bottle and the Lock n Lock, he straightly chose Lock n Lock!

Fun : Going to Grand Indonesia

We had some fun in the Sunday noon by going to the malls in the central Jakarta, Grand Indonesia. I and Fritz, excluding his Pop, went with Oma, Opa and Uncle K there.

It's a nice mall with extraordinary view inside. And of course it's so big enough for us to walk.

We took some pictures there. And the most interesting one was when we saw the baby doll. It looks as like as Fritz when he was baby. So cute! He saw his twins! ^^

Toddler : 18 month 3 week

Math: Coloring #5
We started the week by coloring the #5 worksheet that he had refused last week. Today, I asked him to choose the color pencil by his own. He preferred the brown one.

Practical Life

*Matching the lid*
We continued the day by matching the lid of few assorted boxes. I prepared 3 kinds of different shape of boxes and I showed him how to match the lid into the right ones. As this was the first time for him, he still couldn't do it well. He still needs help in doing this.

*Spread the peanut butter*
Thursday's breakfast was bread with peanut butter. It's time to spread the butter by himself. And he really likes it so much when I ask him. He wanted to do it by himself {but I was still help him} ^^

Learning Toys
*Piggy Bank*
Piggy Bank is still a big HIT for Fritz. He loves to put the coins inside there. And he still modifies it. He turned it upside down to open the lock on the bottom. Though he unsuccessfully opened by himself {I helped him ^^}, he was still curious to do it by him. Then he put in and took out the coins from there.

*Horse Toys*
Recently, he likes the boyish games. Riding a horse was one of them. Actually, he pretends that he is riding a motor like his Pop and Uncle do. Love him very much! He grows very fast.....^^

*Matching Mickey's cards*
Believe it or not! I have these cards since I was still in lower Primary school. Unbelievable!

As Fritz is fever with Mickey, I give it as a heritage....^^

I have an idea. I ask Fritz to match the same pictures in the cards. He still couldn't do it. We have to guide him which pictures have the same.

Miscellaneous
*Sunday morning style*
One Sunday morning, a few minutes after he woke up, he did some stylish style. He posed as he was an adult already. Really look so cute!

*Hitting the ant*
Recently, he is so excited when seeing ant passed him by. He always tries to hit it with his little pointer. Unluckily, the ant is too fast..His little finger can't catch the ant's movement. So, I'm the one who hit the ant at last.....-_-"

*Playing with shadow*

When he saw his shadow in the wall, suddenly he stopped playing and looked at his in the wall. And this was holding his ear to see what his shadow did...^^

*Phoning at bathroom*
For the last two days, he always brings the phone toy to the bath room. Like usual, he always refuses when I ask him for bathing, in the morning as well as afternoon.

He plays pretending, calling someone in the bath room. Such a creative kid! *0*

*Mirroring*
He loves seeing himself at the mirror.

He ever brought his chair and sat down in front of the mirror. He did the mirroring and miming. Like he did last few days! When I passed the kitchen (where the mirror is), I saw him standing in front of the mirror and made some style.

Sometimes he looks like talking at himself or just posed or sometimes he just passed and looked at himself without doing anything...What a growing up boy! ^^

*Eating nuts in da morning*
Thursday morning, after he woke up for a moment, he saw a topless of nuts. Then he asked me to get it for him. And tadaaaaa...he ate the nuts in the morning!

Fun : Visiting Great grandma

Friday morning, Opa asked us to join with him visiting his Mom at Kemayoran. And we've not been there for few couples months.

When we arrived, I asked Fritz to shake the great grandma first. Thankfully, he showed his politeness. {FYI, he's moody one when we went to someone place!}

He didn't show any cranky there. He enjoyed the home's atmosphere. He walked here and there. He played with his cars along. He also followed the Grams when someone ringing the bell to buy something. {They managed their home as grocery shop too}

Unluckily, he didn't show his appetite there. He just ate a little bit.
