Egg Head

As if my day of walking my children back from the bus was not full of warm fuzzy's already, here is what else happened that day.

When I greeted Hikawera getting off the bus the same day this is what met me.



Hang on it looks much better in this photo


(If you can't see what I am talking about he has a really big EGG in the middle of his forehead.)

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! No phone call, No letter in his bag...... Nothing... but my 5 year old telling me he ran into a pole after lunchtime - but still ran in the cross country practice that afternoon.... UNBELIEVEABLE! I don't cotton wool my children but I do draw the line somewhere. 

We arrived home after 4 from walking up from the bus stop so  I left a very stern and unimpressed message on the school message service.

Needless to say I had a very colorful discussion with the office when I went to see them the next morning. I know my son is a little prone to injuries but common sense would tell you to call to let parent know that their child will be coming home "damaged".. 

Actually a good  point to raise from this. Check out the school or childcare their policy and procedures for accidents or ANY incidents or occurances involving your child. Weather it be verbal, behavior, academic anything, make it VERY clear and specific - to be noted on their file - that you must be contacted immediately with anything involving your child(ren) comes up. Some schools are good, others are very lapsed and are not required to inform.... so check it out and be Specific!! I sure was that day!! (one for the mums)

The Nastiest bug creates a war Zone

This entry has no photo's but as you read on you will see why. I did however need to be recorded for posterity!!! and to say We survived. Renata had been at school only 2 days, He went to his Last Montessori   Class on a Thursday. Friday morning Came and he began to throw up. Within the next 3 days 5 of my 6 children were down with the nastiest vomiting/diarrhea bug I have ever encountered. Arama was away on business, so I was on my own. This bug has had a reputation in our community, taking no prisoners and not missing any members of the family. Yes that bad. I was grateful Arama was away, but my big boy was due to go on his Pinacle Camp for a week with school on the Monday. I prayed that he would not get it. It was Fast Sunday the Sunday before so we both fasted he would not get sick before or ON his camp. (his first 2 days was a 2 day treck in the bush and the only way out was via rescue helecopter – not an option thanks) Just the thought of him possibly gett

teaching independance

I like to think I encourage independance in our home. Helping our kids to be confident that they can do many things on their own. making themselves something to eat is one of these things. For the older boys, I have taught how to cook, the younger ones it is making a sandwich, or whipping cream, making cordial drinks (which they are sooo much better than me now)  even mixing pancake mixture.. Since we watched the Junior Masterchef competition on TV, our kids have really enjoyed getting in there. Arama has made dinner for almost the last week and a half. It was first a trade off so he wouldn't do the dishes after but he seems to be enjoying it. I am more than happy to accomodate too as they will be able to feed themselves when they get bigger - mission etc. Hikawera has also risen to the challenge or mastering the skill of getting himself something to eat. He often hums when he does it (that means he is happy). This day, I watched him place out the 5 slices of bread and them syst

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.
