Regarding Toys
Nov 6th, 2008 by rean
Last weekend the family went shopping for clothes. Actually it was shopping for the kids’ clothes, in preparation for our son’s Kumon Advanced Student Recognition ceremony this Sunday. Teys and I divided the work, I bought stuff for our son while she worked with our daughter. Having completed our task early, my son and I head for the toy section. We found cool toys: new RC’s,Tranformers, etc. In my mind, however, I couldn’t help question the value of these toys a few years from now. My thoughts were in going through wholesale electronics to find a toy kit we could assemble as a family.
For his birthday, we bought our son a robot arm kit. I assembled it together with him and his sister. The sense of fulfillment was clearly evident in his behaviour as he started to play with it. I guess nothing can replace the joy of enjoying the rewards of your labor.
