Letters to our Sons - October 2014

You are getting pretty awesome at amazing me with what your brain is absorbing over the last few
months.  You are learning such diverse things - what makes thunder, why clouds are white or grey,
what camouflage means,  New Zealand has more than 1 million people in the country and even what type of car 'Bumblebee' turns into.  Your brain is a huge sponge that is taking in everything around
you - I love it!

You can read the alphabet and learning about capital and lower case letters, so I thought I would
help to teach you about directions and how to work out if things are either 'left' or 'right' by using
your hands to create a capital 'L'.  

You will take many directions in life.  Some directions will be good ones and others won't, but you
will learn from each path you take.  Sometimes you will follow others down a path and other times
you will be the leader and lead others down a path.  At times you may be one or the other.  You can be both, it's OK as some days you will want to be a leader and other days you will want to be a
follower.  BUT, if you are following, do it because you want to follow - it may be that you want to
​follow to learn from the person who is leading you, but try to follow someone who does good things to you and to others.

Keep up the good work, my "little genius"   xxx
