Shhhhh! Don't Look!


Arama Teancum started piano when he was 7years old. As time went on he lost interest in it , and by 12 years old it was PAINFUL for him to practice and for us to try to get him to, so he turned to drums. He was awesome at these too. (Arama is the kind of Boy that is great at anything he tries)
So you can imagine my surprise and absolute pleasure when I saw this.



Arama has been doing music at school and here he is playing an arrangement he composed on the piano. I dared not say a word!! I pretended not to notice and  Just watched with pride as he twinkled his fingers around and was equally stoked when his brother sat next to him to watch.  This is a ‘Yay’ moment for a parent. ( he didn’t even know I took the picture!)

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. 

Hakarimata's again!

Yes, we did it! We climbed the Hakarimata's again. Still hard, still so rewarding!!
