You can be totally absorbed for weeks or months on a task that you are working on
(in this case trying to build an earthquake proof Duplo house)
You appreciate the opportunity to celebrate
(on this occasion our All Blacks party)
You are kind and caring, if sometimes a little puzzled about why we do things!
You like to spend time just to be....
Like Winnie-the-Pooh said: "sometimes I sits and thinks
and sometimes I just sits"
Moments of joy need to be captured
as most of the time life is just a bit of a struggle,
it's hard to be happy when the world
runs to a different timetable to you.
You are full of the unexpected
(here he made a long straw and tried to suck my drink with it!!)
All of your siblings look out for you in their own way
so many confusing messages for a boy who knows what he wants any how
why would we need to change that?
Congratulations Reuben
on learning to tie your laces
