my dear kynan,

today you u came back from archery and ran to the kitchen all bright-eyed and smiling and this is what u said: 

"mama i had 7 arrows today. i got all 7 on the board, and 2 of them hit the cross in the middle (that's the centre of the bull's-eye) ...1 first, then the other one rt next to it!"

you were so proud of your achievement. i asked u if u were trying really hard to aim straight and u replied: "no mama, i was just looking very carefully..."

you had thought that today's crossbow session was yr last. perhaps that is why u tried so hard? ;)  or is it just that yr skill has been honed? 

now u say u that y'r ready to try something new!...  and rock-climbing is what yr eyeing :b 

remember when u climbed halfway up the t/p safra wall without even any gear or ropes? u did it while waiting for our friends to arrive.  u were so excited and twice called me away from my lunch to come and watch... i'm surprised u actually made it down again... and thankfully without any knocks or broken bones!  (i can see that gym has made yr arm muscles even stronger than they were before!)  i see you've had a taste of a new challenge and now it's hard to let it go.   if only there were enough hrs in a week to do it all yeah? ;b

i am so proud of you my boy!  i love yr fiery spark! 

may you long enjoy enthusiasm for new challenge and adventure! :) 

with lots of love from your mama, xxx
