Our Mini Camping

Last Saturday, my little boy and I pitched a tent at home. 

It was another rainy morning and there was no one else at home but just the two of us. Manang had a day off while Alex worked over time.  I wanted to have a mommy-and-son moment and so I planned a simple yet meaningful activity. 


When Kyle woke up, I said. “Good morning boy scout, how about a camping today?” And my little boy’s smile reached his ears. 


Here’s what we did!



We set up a tent.
The little man and I set up the tent. Since kiddie tents are very easy to assemble nowadays, it just took us a few minutes to put it up.

This is my tent. It was given to me by my ninong Carlos. 🙂

Kyle gathered his favorite toys and books.
“Kyle, get all your favorite toys and books and put them in the tent,” I ordered my boy. And just like a true boy scout, he immediately and excitedly responded.

Mario, when mama is holding her camera you should smile like this!

We had fun activities.
After playing his favorite toys, it was time for storytelling. It was a mommy and child bonding moment and so I have chosen to read, “Guess How Much I Love You” by Sam Mcbratney.

I call this bear, “ading.” He’s my little “brother.”

We ate together.
I cooked fried chicken and fries while Kyle was playing cars. When the food was ready, we ate inside the tent. I felt like a very good cook looking at my boy munching the chicken with gusto!

We planted Munngo
When the rain finally stopped, I immediately told my boy to get ready for his first planting adventure! Yes, just like what mommy Neva did, Kyle too planted Monggo. 🙂 And every now and then, he was checking if the mongo beans were growing. I will tell you more about this! :).

My first planting adventure: mongo beans. 

It has been a great camping day. And it’s so true when they say that we need not “go somewhere” to create great bonding moments with our kids.  🙂
