Chick sitting

While the Duartes go to Florida we get to chick sit.  Now this is quite the experience, after a year and half the Jardim familia have not had any form of animal in our house to look after.  We have become quite accustomed to only attending to those that can talk...or scream in Mateo's case. So bringing these little guys into the house left us pretty unprepared and well shaken up.  Thankfully chicks are easy all they need is warmth, food water and clean quarters to sleep in.

The instructions we received, besides the usual feeding and cleaning info were that we needed to cuddle them everyday, a little.  Jaime took this part very seriously!

Oh boy
very gently the baby chick is handed over. 
Note Maya hovering, not quite sure what to make out of this little thing

Not so scary right!
