Teach a child

Teach a child while they are young so they can become confident, successful and productive adults.

I have tried to do this, especially when it comes to work and responsibilities. We have one of our couches onthe other side of our kitchen bench, and I am constantly telling and pulling Rakaipaka off it. He loves the water or just to do whatever we are doing there, It is like a viewing deck for the kitchen - except he can touch....

Rakai was so determined to wash up with me this night, I just had to stop and enjoy the moment. He had a serious look on his face when he would scrub with the brush, rinse and scrub again where he saw some more dirt to wash off.  For a boy who loves the mud that pot came out sparkling clean!!!!

"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!!!!

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.
