Passion.

Some children develop an insatiable appetite for facts about dinosaurs, diggers or spiders. For our big boy, he's found a passion in Birds of Prey. It began when he noticed the peregrine falcon for its incredible diving speed. He began to seek out more reading material about birds of prey, and wanted to visit parks with birds of prey. 

These comprise his current reading material from the library:

After realising that many native birds of prey are hunted, he said he didn't like people who hunt wildlife. He currently hopes to pursue a career protecting wildlife, either that or a career as a bird watcher with the National Geographic.

On a separate note, something he said at night prayer resonated with me:

If I could have anything I want, I would want to go to heaven. 

I admire his conviction and purity of heart, and am also grateful for it.

Date night.

It's father's day here tomorrow, and the children are very excited to give papa the gifts they've made.
