My Daughter learning the violin

There are no second guesses as to what my little girl is doing. Play on!

Any guesses on what this girls is doing?

You guessed right!!

She is polishing her conducting skills, it's a 4/4 rhythm she's working on now

Holding that fermata is not a child's play, but she's no ordinary child! :-)
Her down-beat preparation needs a little exercising and better eye-contact, that's what we're fightinh about now...but other than that she's getting there.

A note to my daughter

A Note to my Daughter
By Thabe

I was made a happy man the day you were born;
When you first cried in my hands I saw God's love.

I will pray for you
I will teach and guide you
I will protect you
And give you all my love
Thank you God for such a precious gift of love

Al l the danger, fear and evil will have to go first through me
And God, "I put this child into your hands!"
When I die I'll be a guardian angel, to watch and protect you.

I will pray for you
I will teach and guide you

I will protect you
And give you all my love

Was made a happy man the day you came
I might not have been in heaven on that day
But when you first laid in my hands
God did smile!

Mosike: A True American Football Fan

Wearing No.6 for Clemson Tigers is Mosike (by the way we carry the same number). The guy we are supporting got injured and we lost the game. That just shows you how important he is. Look at the young Tiger at heart & in Spirited mood

Learning more complex things

Figuring out where the shapes go. Concentration is required!
I think I have figured it out!

This is for Mogotlo, my girl is eating meat, Chicken Tender Breasts to be exact.

Mosike oa seleka banna!

Dad, come help me to get this thing out!!!
Now you can see why there is no safe place in the house.
We have to lock everything now and there's no place she cannot get.Haai No!

But sometimes she behaves, otherwise she's grounded!

At times she acts like a baby should.

And at times she wants to learn about a particular lady in the photo album!
