Spending our Time with our Kid

25th of July 2021

"Good day fellas! How are you today? Hopefully you've start your day with a smile and begin to think positively as the days goes by. Have a great day ahead." 

Actually, this must supposed to be published yesterday because this happens yesterday. But since I felt so tired after everything we’ve done, I wasn’t able to make this and I just felt asleep immediately after my classes done.

Now, I’ll have it today instead. I’m just going to share what we’ve done yesterday together with our little boy. Since, we’ve been to a city yesterday. Our first go out with my partner and my son.

Last week, we planned to go to a city to buy toys for our son and other things. Since, he will be claiming his scholarship stipend and he claimed it last friday as what I've mentioned also in my previous article. Furthermore, we really wanted to go out because were stuck here in the house and we wanted our son to explore as well. So, it's actually a double purpose roaming around in a department store while buying things and then to eat in a fastfood even just once in a blue moon. Haha (Just once in a blue moon for now though because we still don't have enough money for it.) That's why yesterday, we've been to a nearest city in our place. It's very enjoying since it's our first go out together with our son because usually we just go out together with my partner.

So here's what we've done yesterday.

• As usual waking up early as 4AM

I don't know maybe my son knows that we will go to a city because he really woke up that early. Of course, both I and my partner woke up as well. So, what I did was played a music in the computer while letting my son drank his milk in a bottle because every morning he wakes up he wanted to have his milk.

Then at 6AM I started to prepare our breakfast. After that, I take a bath first since I'm still going to a store to buy a diaper for my son since I don't have any stock of diaper because I already stop using it for him. I just used a diaper every time we travel and not using it when were just at home because my son is prone to rashes and he also notifies us every time he wanted to pee. So there's no need to used a diaper for my son everyday.

So, it was almost 9AM that we able to leave the house. Since we still don't have our own motorcycle, we just commute a motor cab going to the nearest city.

• First-off at J&F Department Store

So, in this store we let our son to roam around and what we did was to put again the things that my son would grabbed. Yes, because he will get the things that he seems to be attracted with and sometimes just threw them all. So, we his parents were the one who will get back the things he gets and put it again to it's places.

We bought him toys. He chooses all the toys that we bought for him because everytime he likes the toy he will get and he never wants us to get it back from him. So, we thought he likes it much and that's why we just bought it for him.

We also bought a shoe for our son. So, for him to allow his father to put the shoes on him to find out if it suits him. We let him watch because he don't want to wear the shoes.

See picture below.

Another is that, we also bought a foam, play mat or puzzle mat and a pillow. Since, we just slept in the floor and the one that supports us from the coldness of the floor was only a cartoon and a mattress or "banig". (I don't know what's the right term. Pagpasensyahan na ang "coldness of the floor" hindi ko na alam ang term paano kasi hindi ako nakinig nito noon sa guro ko. 😅 Basta para hindi tatagos sa likod namin ang lamig na dala ng sahig.) So, that is why I really bought a foam and also a play mat in exchange of the cartoon were using.

• Next-off at NOVO

Here in NOVO, we bought something like a toy vehicle for our son. I don't know what kind of toy vehicle is it. Since, his aunt which is my partner's sibling who also claimed her scholar stipend want us to buy it for our son and she gave us money for it. So, yes we of course bought a toy vehicle for our son and I felt that my son was really happy for it. He even ride it and roam around the store while riding it.

• Lunch time

Of course. This won't be left behind. Haha. At almost 12PM, we did our lunch at "Mang Inasal". This was our first time also eating outside together with our son.

• Lastly, at Bohol Bike Shop

It's one of our plan as well to buy a mountain bike. My partner asked me right before he claimed his stipend that he wanted to have a bike because he wants to lose weight specifically losing his belly since his gaining weight already mostly gaining more fats in his belly. So, of course I agreed on it as well since I myself need to lose weight as well and I also love to bike in the morning. So, we alternate days in biking since we only bought one bike. We don't have enough money for two bikes. Haha

After we bought all the things. At almost 3PM we rode home already and our son maybe were so tired since while we are riding home he fell asleep.

So, when we get home my son also woke up and his really happy I felt it because immediately he looked for his toys and played with it and his laughing while playing his toys. His really enjoying and my heart melts, our hearts melts to be exact when we see our son happy and excited playing along with his toys.

So, that was our day yesterday. Even we felt tired after but looking with our son happy that he was able to go outside and enjoying his toys, all just fades away. It's really a fulfillment in our part as his parents especially in my part as his mother.

Have a nice day readers!
