I was playing with Nina last night on the sofa and she suddenly asked to play Pok Ame Ame, an Indonesian’s children play. It goes like this :

1. we face each other
2. we both clap our hands once
3. we use our right hands to do the hi-five thing
4. we both clap our hands again
5. we use our left hands now to do the hi-five
6. repeat from no 2 above

and while doing this, we sing the song : Pok Ame Ame, Belalang Kupu-Kupu, Siang makan nasi, Kalau malam minum susu. I sang the song last night, but Nina could actually sing this song about a year ago but she sang it like this: Pok Ame Ame, Belalang Tupu-Tupu, Siang makan nasi, Kalau malam, mimi susu.

When I first taught her this about a year ago, she wasn’t able to do the clapping and hi-five things well yet. She wasn’t able to coordinate between using her right hand, left hand and do the clapping. She was always trying to use one hand only.

I video taped this while we were playing last night.
