Protege

Since it is early diving season, and Jon's set-up is in a bit of a disarray, Jon will often spend time working on his spear gun the night before he goes diving. Eden, loving any excuse to stay up late, convinces him that she has to work on hers too. Jon happens to have a small frame of a spear gun that they enjoy calling "hers". She has it in her head that once it is all fixed up she is gonna go out there with him and shoot her very own sea bass. Every time she goes swimming she practices diving down to "get the sea bass". She sat on the front of the board while I paddled the harbor the other day and every time we passed some kelp she would say "oohh mom - do you see the sea bass in there?" Perhaps years from now she will read this and laugh that she had any interest in it at all, or she will be laughing because she is the best free diving teenager around, only time will tell...




On the other hand, in the kitchen...

Eden has always enjoyed helping me in the kitchen. And now she is at an age where she is actually pretty helpful. Lately it has been a bit harder to include her in the process because (naturally) Zion does not like to be left out. But we sneak it in while he is sleeping and have a blast!
