Growing up!

We all know growing up is inevitable, something that will happen weather you want it to or not. It takes some people longer than others to do so but the numbers will cosistantly keep ticking. For those that are standing by watching, it can sometimes be with mixed emotions.

My Hikawera turns 5 on Friday.(by the way Happy Birthday Jet for tomorrow. Your buddy misses you!!)
5 in New Zealand means "big School". Hikawera began his 1st of his 3 pre visits this week to Kaukapakapa School.  His daddy had the privilige to accompany him.

I am still turning inside. Happy, sad, excited... all the emotions. You would think that by number 4 it would be easier!!! Yet once again I find myself saying, "My baby is all grown up and going to school!" (tear)

I must say though he really enjoyed it. No photo's this time though sorry, he was not impressed with mum trying to take a few shots.  Perhaps tomorrow.....

    The next thing you know they are holding hands with someone making promises for forever... It happens all to fast. But each new stage is so full of wonderfulness both with the good and the bad. It doesn't get any easier, no matter what 'number' child it is. Happy Birthday big boy!

Flashback - Rotten teeth?

I was putting the boys to bed the other night, and as usual you go through the usual teeth toilet, bed etc... I asked Rakai, did you brush your teeth? He said no. (He was honest) So, I said, "do you want your teeth to fall out while you are asleep?" He answered with a sad look on his face, "yes, cause then I can get some money". Oh that was such a Rakai thing to say!! I had to counter that (trying not to laugh) by telling him that the tooth fairy doesn't give money for rotten teeth! Then, Hikawera pipes up saying he got $5 for a rotten (dead actually from being banged) tooth that the dentist had to pull out. I had to go into real damage control then!! Rakai comes out with the funniest things sometimes. He is golden.

Volleyball

Teancum really enjoys playing volleyball. He jumped right into the teams at boys high, and within a couple of weeks, he was in the 'A' team. They came runner up this season to a solid Hillcrest school team. An awesome group of boys.
