Farmer’s Market

Since Prince A was 8/9 month old, I have started taking him grocery shopping every Sunday morning.  It has became our weekly ritual rain or shine; even when I was heavily pregnant at 9 month with the second baby, we still went every Sunday.  Now that I have two child, this became one of our exclusive time together.  In the beginning, he would sit there, not knowing what is going on but extremely intrigued by all the colorful things around him as we go down each isle.  Now he would pick out things he wants to eat, or tell me what to make during the week; his palate has also evolved quite a bit.

從兒子八九個月開始我便和他每個禮拜天的早晨去買菜。這已經變成我們的習慣，風雨無阻，哪怕是我懷第二胎九個月大腹便便時也如此。從一開始他懵懵懂懂的坐著，到現在會挑自己想要吃的，給予建議，著實成長了不少。對我來說這是個很好的親子時光，即陪伴兒子又可以借此教他認識各種蔬果和教育健康飲食。兒子已經認識並能用中文和英文說出大部份的日常食物讓我這個媽媽深感欣慰。當然，有時我會放縱他一下讓他享受他的最愛 – 冰淇淋。

To me, I think it is a great bonding time for mother and kids to go grocery shopping, it is time that you can spend with them together and also a great learning and teaching opportunity.  I used the shopping experience to teach him the different fruits and vegetables and foods and also educate him on healthy eating habits so that he is aware of what is good versus junk food.  Prince A can now correctly identify most of the fruits and veggies and say them in both English and Chinese. Of course, occasionally I would indulge him in a few treats that he wants such as his favorite – ice cream.
