The
first time we camped with our
son, I completely forgot that, most of the time, I'd be going in and out of the tent with a small child in my arms, rather than operating unencumbered, so while I had a
pair of flip - flops for daytime wearing, at night, it meant I had to awkwardly set our
son on the floor of the tent, where he'd wail at me while I put on my shoes, or try to don the boots while holding him on my hip.
Turn puzzles into games; split up the family by gender, or
pairing up Mom and
son and Dad and daughter, to see which team will finish their puzzle
first.
