Reminiscing the past activities I had with my little boys
Yesterday I went to the grocery my two boys. Eversince the pandemic happened, both of them stayed at home and couldn't accompany me outside due to some restrictions. Recently they can go out because as we all know some of the restrictions were lifted up, obviously because everyday cases trimmed down. I took them yesterday with me because I missed doing grocery with them. I am actually being nostalgic knowing my little babies were no longer little anymore. I've seen them and guided them from the moment they came out of my womb. It was my greatest achievement so far, to be able to raised and see them growing right before my very eyes.
Enough of being so dramatic Yhanne, time to continue what I am going to share for today. Lately, my boys are into mobile games cod and mobile legends. They used to play roblox and minecrafts now they are into adult games. Time really passes by quickly that it is hard for me to admit that they're grown up. Where were my little boys now?
Going back to the past when they were just 2 and 3 years old. That time we moved out from my in laws family house to live in the house of our own. It took longer before we could move out because there were some constructions needed to be done since we got it (house) semi furnished. It was only me and my two kids left in the house because my husband went back to his work. I was a little scared that time since we don't have a front gate yet, although we were inside the village and there were roving guards at night. Since we don't have internet at that time yet, we always bonded through playing their blocks and toy cars. Having two boys who were very addicted with trucks, car, and anything that has wheels felt like I am one of the boys. I remember my youngest son favorite book that time, entitled the wheels on the bus. So at night, there's always a bed time story and that book should never be missed because someone might have tantrums.
The next years has come and they started to make friends with the kids from our neighborhood. It was nice seeing them playing happily with their playmates and then I realized it was really nice to be a kid. Having nothing to worry about and just enjoying what life has to offer. Both of them learned how to ride a bicycle without training wheels but of course they were afraid to tried it out first. Next thing I knew, both of them were so confidently riding it along with the other kids outside. Though there were times that they fell from it, but I would always told them it was okay and having bruises was a part of growing up.
When it was time for both of them to go to school I was the most excited whenever they goes home to show me the stars they got from their teachers. The playtime has shortened because it is time to learn how to read and write before going to the big school. Our activities included spelling some basic words, reciting the abc's and counting numbers up to 20. I honestly like what I am doing because I used to be a part time teacher aide in a preschool back when I was in college so all of the things I have learned from them (the teachers) I applied it to the boys and it was effective. Maybe that was the reason why I never got tired of handling kids as well because I had been trained for almost two years with different kind of children.
Storybook before bedtime has ended because board game was the new activity. Uno card game was my youngest son favorite because I don't know what sorcery he had because he always won like in every game. He was so into it that whenever we had visitors he would invite them to play uno game. While he was into it, my oldest son liked the monopoly board game. It was one of his birthday wish and my husband and I granted it. I had only played monopoly game back in my ipad nano and I always won with the opponent since I knew its move already, but playing it in person will take a lot of your time. Overall you will love it and it is a good family bonding as well. The good thing about this new monopoly gameboard is that your money comes in atm card already unlike before you will be handed a paper bills.
Closing Thoughts
I had fun doing some of the fun activities I had with my children. Though it was really tiring but seeing them enjoying their childhood which I didn't got to experience back then is fulfilling. I wanted to be there for them all the time and let them know I will never got tired of taking care of them. Though I know time will come that they will have their own families in the future, but I hope all of those happy memories we had will be kept and they could make another version of it in the future.
