Renata is riding

Renata has watched on for years at his siblings racing around him on their bikes. I actually thought it would be a long time before he ever rode a 2 wheeler by himself. One day when I was trying to teach him, he almost had it and scared himself so stopped so to my complete surprise and delight on Friday, I turned around at the kids excited noises to find my Renata riding a 2 wheeler all by himself... How cool is that!!!
(yes he is still 3)



Rangikawea and Hikawera would run close by him to make sure that he did not fall off. Sometimes a little too close,  it was so cute to see his 'bodyguards' running by him.  This was also to make sure he did not ride on the main road too.



Arama was standing by too to offer support and advise to him. It was so neat to see.


Now he can't wait to get out there and ride his 'big' boys bike around. Way to go Renata!

    How cute. Now don't blink because if you do he'll be getting his drivers license.

"I'll be your best friend?!"

My baby never fails to have a “such a cutie” moment every day. I don’t know what it is about him, perhaps knowing he is the baby, or simply that he was such a good baby, that I have noticed these little moment s more.   I have to share this one with you. It has happened twice this last week. We are sitting in the car and Rakaipaka calls out and asks for something. Usually it is a lolly or chocolate or something I don’t have at that time. Anyway I call out ‘no’, and the response comes back, “Oooh, Ill be your best friend”!!! Ha How cute is that!! He is all of what 2 years old and is already trying that line on his mother!!! Now the question is posed…. Which one of his siblings did he hear that from!!!!

Monday Night Fun

For those in the same faith as our family - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you would be familiar with Family Home Evening. We have ours most times on a Monday evening. Last night we decided to go into the local school and play netball and on the play gyms that are there. It was a lot of fun. I think I surprised Teancum at how good I was at shooting into the Netball goal. Even Renata, Hikawera and Rakaipaka had a go. There are 2 play gyms at the school. One smaller one at the front of the school for the younger children and one really big one at the back in front of the school pool. This one is really high. If you look at the photo with Teancum in it and note that he is about 2 inches off being taller than me, you will get an idea of how tall this is. The slide is perfect for speed!! (and you know ours LOVE speed). To make it that much more exciting they decided to sit on their shirts and slide down. Needless to say they had a ball....        ...
