I'll be writing about my son Joshua's activity with Steven, his new yellow pet chick.
Saturday - May 31, 2008
Last Saturday while we were shopping for materials that we can use for the uniforms of my college kids, we stumbled upon a vendor who was selling multi-colored chicks and quail birds. Ten pesos for the chicks and 2 pesos for the quail birds.
Joshua was looking at the chicks and was fascinated with the colors. Imagine chicks colored green, red and yellow. He really wants to have one of the colored ones. I told him that if we get one, he has to take care of it and it is not like a toy that you can put away if you don't like to play with it anymore.
I told him to think about it before we get one. But after awhile, it got me thinking, isn't it better if we get one and look how he reacts to it. Will he take care of it? Will he have the patience to do it? Will it teach him about responsibility? Will he learn things by taking care of it?
Yes, we got one chick. Joshua named him Steven Wigmore, Steven for short.
I'll give updates on how Joshua and Steven are doing in the next few days.
