they're watching!!

Have you ever had someone little - a child of yours, or close to you, repeat something you say? I had a sweet reminder of the power of example yesterday.

As of late Arama has been sitting on the couch playing his guitar and singing (or we sing along to his playing). I was in another room when I heard a sweet small voice singing. I recognised it as Rakaipaka (1 1/2yr old). When I took a peak this is what I found.




Rakaipaka singing with his brother playing the guitar. Just as their daddy has been doing. It is nice when they pick up something GOOD that you do!

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.
