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.

Steven died after a few days from post of this blog. My son Josh really enjoyed taking care of Steven. He feeds Steven with his hands. Steven follows him wherever he goes. Josh really was enjoying the company of Steven. One day, when he got home from school, he was looking for Steven inside his cage. His mom told him that Steven died. He was asking mom where Steven is and mom told him that she buried him at the back of the house. He asked his mom he wants to see Steven so mom had to dig Steven up and showed him to Josh. Josh was really sad and she asked his mom for a proper burial for Steven and was asking mom to call all relatives to attend the funeral of Steven. Long explanations followed and finally mom has convinced Josh for a simple burial for Steven attended by mom and 2 houshold helps. And when prayers were said, they laid Steven into his final resting place at the back of the house.
