    so proud of luke!!

    to night i took luke to the first class of his dive course, he was really excited, he was chatting about what he would see under water and about the sharks , talking about the hand signals that he need to know, generally being a pain!

    finally we got there, he is the youngest...by about 20 years!!
    the instructor asked if he had read his book, and wanted to know why he wanted to do the diving..
    he spoke so well and clearly!! i didn't know he could!!!

    but what reall y made me so proud .. was that durring the evening, the instructer was asking questions about the diving, technical stuff,
    luke just realled them off his tougne.. as if he was reading it!!!!!!
    we were getting fitted for the wetsuits, etc, and he was sorting his gear out, and STILL answering the questions... in the end the instructor said.. ok everyone EXCEPT luke..answer this question.... even then he wispered the answer to me!!!

    allmost had a tear in my eye!!

    what a ride so far!!!!

    Now just watch him start riding a motorbike, probably beat you at a race.

    Well done Luke. I remember my first dive course. It was fun.

    Well done mate and best of luck, Aj, I wish you the best too

    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers

    Kids learn fast when they are interested in something, trick is to find what interests them, that they had not known about. What a great education you are giving your boy.
