Miscellaneous : Learning with Playhouse Disney Magazine


How big is his love in Mickey's Magazine (Playhouse Disney to Disney Junior). He insisted me to do with all the activities inside. As he's now 3 years, he could do with the activities (that he waited for long time since he had it LOL). 

And here he did. He did the first one, then you can guess the next. He asked me more and more until I said, "we're done, Fritz!!" :D

This magazine is very recommended for every kids. It really contains lots of great activities inside. And absolutely, Fritz is very excited making it. 

Miscellaneous : Reading Books and Magazine




His eagerness in reading books is very big. We usually have time to read book together. It comes every night before he goes to sleep. He always asks me to read him a book. Sometimes, he has his own time to read the book by himself. Though he still couldn't read yet, he loves to see the picture itself.


As we seldom goes out, books are the best media for Fritz to know everything outside. He knows many things that he's never seen all from the books. So every time we goes to the mall, I'm trying at least to buy him a book.

Practical Life : Pee on the Toilet


He's getting used to pee on the toilet by himself. Suddenly, he went there alone, took off his pants and peed. Then, he went up and flushed the water. Yeaaaayyy!! My boy is getting bigger now!!

Preschool : Unschooling part 2

Fritz is currently 37 months

This week, we really had a free week that we called un-schooling days. Still we learnt something in this week, but we don't have any schedule. It's because Mama was lacking the ink for the printer. So...here's we did during this week.

 I still had Apple materials from last week. So we continued with it.

There's a book about Apple. As he always loves the book, it's good for him.


Then I tried to give him Math by counting apples and used the clothes pegs to mark it. However, he's getting bored with this activity as it's too easy now for him. He's good till 10 objects. I really need a challenge numbers again.


And the next day, Fritz did the tracing letter. He's great though he complained that it's too much for him. Hihihihi.....
Actually this week, we started new theme. It's gonna be an Astronaut week. However, the material itself wasn't ready as the ink was running out. SO, we just did a little bit of Astronaut week.
Tracing lines are still his best things. His fave one!

Then he had to guess the first letter in every cards. He did it well!!

Math

Another worksheet for this week was tracing number 1. He knows the number exactly, however, he's never trying to make a number with his little fingers. So it's time to ask him more on tracing numbers. We started with number 1 and we're going to other numbers in the following weeks.

Shape

He learnt how to find objects based on the shape. This time, he had to find circle objects. He made it well!


Learning Toys

It's fishing time!!

He asked me to take out again his fishing toys. He said that he's going to fishing after taking bath. So cute huh!! LOL

Miscellaneous
Fritz wasn't too excited when Mama said that we wanted to have a trial class for Chinese class near Opa's house. He just felt that we wanted to go to school.

We had a trial in the afternoon, around 3 o'clock. So when it's the time, surprisingly, he's getting excited. He prepared himself very well. He changed his clothes and wanted to use his own shoes. Then, we're ready to have trial. We went by motor as it's very near. We met Mama's sister's friend there, Tante Ellin, as she works there.

We'd to wait for few minutes before the class begun. Fritz sat nicely beside Mama. He saw some new friends and all were bigger than him. When, the teacher said it's the time, Fritz couldn't wait for it. He asked me to go with the others, "come on, Mama. Hurry!!" (Ayo Mama, cepetan)...

He's really easily mingle with the others. He shook his hands and introduced his name. Great job!! He also insisted to join with their class. LOL!!

His class was upstairs with others big friends too. He joined with 4-5 years old friends. They still don't have any class for Fritz's age.

He's a little bit shy when he had to repeat what Laoshi pronounced in Chinese. By the time, he'd enjoyed himself. Mama got out from the class as I've seen he settled down already.

He didn't cry but he's looking for Mama. Then I'd chose to end up the class as it's not a suit class for him. I was afraid that we made the class couldn't concentrate well. :)

So far, he loved the class and he enjoyed his time there.


One morning, when we went to the market, we went by his bike. He saw a cat was licking all it's body. He's getting curious with it. He couldn't stop staring at it. I explained to him that the cat was taking a bath. It's a new lesson for him. Yeay...we learn everything real!! ^^

Fun

Fritz was so excited when he came to new building of Apple Tree Preschool, Mama's previous work field. We went there as Mama was so curios and being invited by the owner to come and see it. So here we were..

When Fritz saw a big space with lots of kids stuffs, he was so excited to explore it. Then he couldn't wait to play with those things.

After Ms Natasya, the owner herself, asked us around, Fritz had his own opportunity to play inside Apple Town. What a big Apple Town they had!

Preschool : Apples

Fritz is currently 36 months 4 weeks

This week we learnt about Apple related to the letter A. He's quite fun with this week activity, especially in making art and doing simple science. 

Apple Theme
Day 1


We still continued our Apple Theme this week. He had to paste the letter based on the apple provided. There were upper and lower letter and he successfully made it though I had extra patient asked him to paste it.


Tracing still great and getting good. He's tracing inside the lines now and making it very neatly and slowly


He loves the maze. He even made it very fast so I hardly grabbed his picture while doing it.

And the last one was choosing the odd picture. He's good with it. ^^

Day 2


Math activity for the 2nd day. He had to count the apples and match it into the correct numbers. He's already great with it and I think I have to give him more than 10 for another challenge to him.


It's really a piece of cake. Actually, I just wanna rewind about the shape, and thankfully he didn't forget at all about the shapes. Good job, boy!!

Science

It's a cool activity! We did a little science this week and it's really very simple. We just cut the apple into two parts then he did some experiment with it. He learned about the skin, flesh, seed, stem and core. Though he didn't really get it, at least we had a fun activity. In the end, he wanted to eat the apple. Thanks for a lady who gave this apple for Fritz. Yeaaahh!!!


Art

We'd like to present our Apple Tree!! LOL

Fritz was so excited when I said that we're gonna have art project. We made an Apple Tree using painting. I drew tree first complete with the apples there and Fritz had to paint with his fingers using the right color in the right path. So far, he still doesn't really understand that he needs to make it nice. Look at his project. LOL


Cooking

Fritz helped Mama to make cupcakes for one of Mama's friends. Fritz loves cupcakes especially the icing sugar on the top of cupcakes. 


He helped since the beginning when we made it. He helped me to pour the sugar, flour and some ingredients. He mixed it together. When Oma mixed with a mixer, he's busy licking the melted chocolate. 


The last touch was molding the icing sugar into some characters. Fritz, of course, loves the Mickey's one.


Technology

Fritz was busy recently playing in Mama's laptop. He could operate it from turning on it till he goes to his fave webs that Mama's put in one folder. He's really great.

Mama found a new education game again for Fritz. It's Cookies. There's lots of interesting education games based on the age. We can learn as well as play here. Fritz's fave was playing Jumping Monkey. Though he couldn't play it very well, he could gain some score. LOL

Practical Life

He's trying to lock off the button of Opa's shirt. He didn't make it as he slipped it. He still needs more on practice on it. ^^

Yes!! Finally he could go to toilet by himself!!

I just let him to pee by himself in our toilet in Apartment. Then he also flushed by himself. What a big boy now!! 

Learning Toys

He did his others car toy blocks again and he did it with help from Papa. This time he made (such like) a tank but the color was yellow and orange. Though he still can't do it by himself, he really tried to paste the little blocks very hard. He still had 9 more car toy blocks again as Papa bought him a dozen of it. LOL


Fritz has new toy, Speller Jr. Actually I wanted to buy this toy long time ago, but I didn't have any opportunity to buy it. So, when we bought a present for the birthday party, I saw this and decided to buy it. 

It's really useful for me in teaching him the alphabets. He recognizes the letter very well but he still needs help to concentrate more doing it. He's only finished 2-3 words then he got bored already. ^^

Fun

Fritz rarely got invitation to a birthday party. One's because of he's not schooling and other's because he doesn't seem like having lots of friends. Actually, it's fine for me not having any invitation, as it's not cheap to wrap the presents :) and it's very not me. I don't want Fritz eats too much junk or fast food too. 

SO here's his 2nd birthday party attending. One of Papa's besties was celebrating his first year daughter in McD at Kelapa Gading. After Mama's done with tutor class, we rushed to this party at 4 PM. Fritz was so excited and he said for many times that he wanted to shake the b'day girl hand and said happy birthday to her. It's really so sweet. He loves a little one. 

He had a nap during our way, so when we arrived, he looked great. He even could enjoy himself in the party. He sat in front and Mama sat in the back looking at him. He's trying to mingle with others and the situation though he looked so awkward. He refused when the mike went to him and tried to avoid it. 

The most thrilled for him was when a balloon man could made fancy balloons for the kids. Fritz got a green sword (that he hold) and a purple dragon fly. He couldn't stop looking at Mr Balloon as he's doing silly while making the balloons. 

He also enjoyed playing with one of Papa's besties son named Nathan. Both were busy playing in the playground until we're decided to go home. He's really so happy attending the party.
