Desde que comenzó la pandemia , mi hijo no tenía vinculación con muchas personas , porque consideramos que exponerlo a la calle , no era la mejor decisión .

Asi que consideramos que él solamente, saldria a la calle a hacer cosas muy espescíficas , como ir al colegio 2 dias de la semana que le tocaban , eso si guardando todo el protocolo de higiene 😷necesario, y cuando tengo que hacer mis diligencias , el se queda en casa con mi mamá.

Since the pandemic began my son had no ties with many people, because we considered that exposing him to the street was not the best decision.

So we considered that he would only go out to the street to do very specific things, such as going to school 2 days a week, keeping all the necessary hygiene protocol, and when I have to do my errands, he stays at home with my mom.

Mi hijo se a quejado muchisimas veces conmigo , porque no entiende como algunos niños, sus padres los dejan jugar en la calle , sin ningún problema. Y para mi a sido un desafío el explicarle que no quiero exponerlo a que se enferme.

Pero esta semana quise hacer algo diferente con él , que no habiamos hecho amteriormente , decidimos ir juntos al mercado popular de la ciudad .

My son has complained many times to me, because he doesn't understand how some children's parents let them play in the street without any problem. And it has been a challenge for me to explain to him that I don't want to expose him to getting sick.

But this week I wanted to do something with him that we had not done before, we decided to go together to the city's popular market.

Como madres sabemos y conocemos como es un mercado popular , hay mucha gente en la calle, vendedores ambulantes , carros 🚗pasando por el mercado para detenerse y comprar , mucho alboroto.

Asi que le dije vamos hacer algo distinto hoy, pero tienes que ser obediente y no me puedes soltar de la mano , y en ningún momento quitarte el tapabocas .

As mothers we know how a popular market is, there are a lot of people in the street, street vendors, cars passing by the market to stop and buy, a lot of commotion.

So I told her we are going to do something different today, but you have to be obedient and you can not let go of my hand, and at no time take off your mask.

Nos preparamos , tomamos nuestro gel antibacterial y nuestros bolsos , él tomo un morral pequeño de espalda que tiene del hombre araña.

We got ready, we took our antibacterial gel and our bags, he took a small backpack that he has from Spiderman.

Y salimos , cuando llegamos al mercado estaba un poco asustado , porque la gente grita mucho y se le notaba, le dije que estuviera tranquilo que estaba conmigo y que hariamos algunas compras.

And we went out , when we got to the market he was a little scared , because people scream a lot and you could tell he was calm I told him that he was with me and that we would do some shopping.

Lo primero que él me dijo , es que había mucha gente, yo me esperaba algo asi , porque de verdad no a tenido esa clase de experiencias .

Estuvimos tratando de caminar por donde hubiera menos cantidad de personas , y pasamos por la venta de frutas 🍉, vegetales 🍆, carnes , pescados .

The first thing he told me was that there were a lot of people, I expected something like that, because he had not really had that kind of experience.

We were trying to walk where there were less people, and we passed by the sale of fruits, vegetables, meats, fish.

Cuando pasamos cerca de los pescados , me dijo: mamá huele raro , eso me causo mucha gracia .

When we passed near the fish, he told me mom smells funny, that caused me a lot of fun.

Entramos a una carniceria y habia problemas para realizar el pago y note que se estaba desesperando un poco , así que decidí que era el momento de marcharnos .

El me ayudo cargando en su bolsito , algunos cambures .

We entered a butcher shop and there were problems to make the payment and I noticed that he was getting a little desperate, so I decided it was time to leave.

He helped me by carrying some money in his little bag.

Cuando llegamos a casa, le pregunté como se habia sentido acompañandome al mercado , me dijo que muy bien que le gustaba compartir conmigo y pasar tiempo juntos .

Para él fue una nueva experiencia , y aunque no es fácil ir al mercado , con niños y muchas veces nos podemos llegar a ver en la obligación de hacerlo , lo ideal es que lo convirtamos en una experiencia amena .

When we arrived home, I asked him how he felt accompanying me to the market, he said that he liked to share with me and spend time together.

For him it was a new experience , and although it is not easy to go to the market , with children and often we can get to see in the obligation to do so , ideally we turn it into an enjoyable experience.
