Akaka Falls

Trying to find fun and new things for the boys to do can be a challenge. Recently I took Noa & Zeke to Hilo while Rory spent the day working on the bathrrom remodel.. On the way we stopped at Akaka Falls. I am constantly reminded of how big Noa is and how much he is maturing. There are a ton of stairs leading to and from the waterfalls. I wanted Zeke to have the opportunity to walk and enjoy the scenery. That meant that it would be slow going. Noa is just so full of energy it is hard to hold him back and Zeke can't keep up. They are just out of sync in so many things. Noa scared me to death cause he started up ahead and was so far ahead he couldn't hear me call for him. He doesn't understand how dangerous it is to be by himself in an unfamilar place (or any place for that matter). His new thing is to ride his bike in front of our house. Even though we live on a cualde sac and everyone on block knows him (he is our social butterfly) I am still in constant worry about him getting hurt, run over or taken by a stranger. Even though there really aren't any strangers in Waikoloa....cause everybody knows everybody.

Right now Noa is all about Justice and what that looks like to a 4 year old is so black and white. Where Zeke is getting a lot of Grace right now because he is learning what is ok and what is not ok. To Noa it all seems very unfair. Trying to keep things entertaining for Noa while trying to train and bring up Zeke is exhausting. I am very thankful that Noa has his Daddy to help him in the ways of the world. They have been spending a lot of time together.
