Not to mean to brag on my son, but, well... he's my first child and, at my age, I'm a combo poppa and grandpop when it comes to doting!

He knows the names of most of the deck hardware, knows his alphabet and numbers up to 30, as well as doing simple sums. He turns the computer on in the morning, then off at night. He can get his favourite sites on the internet with a little help on the mouse.

When poppa rows into the office, he directs poppa so as he doesn't hit anything (poppa tends to start thinking about 'stuff' and doesn't pay any attention to where he's going).

Since I've bragged about him, I may add that at the height of the storm, when you looked down Nakama Creek, the only lights on (including shore lights) were made by Bebi! This makes at least the third for our Beka Kaukaua hanging on the main boom since 2006! (Phil, this isn't advertising, this is a brag, pure and simple! ).
