Ke kiʻi ʻana i nā kiʻi nani o nā kaikaina

Ke kiʻi ʻana i nā kiʻi nani o nā kaikaina

Manaʻo pinepine wau he maʻalahi ka paʻi kiʻi ʻana i hoʻokahi keiki wale nō e like me ka pai, akā ke hoʻohui ʻoe i nā kaikaina, paʻakikī loa ia. Ke paʻi kiʻi wau i nā kaikaina, pili ka hōʻike ʻana i ka pilina ma waena o lākou, a ke hoʻāʻo nei hoʻi e leʻaleʻa ka poʻe āpau i ke kaʻina. Nui nā hinges o nā makahiki a me nā ʻano o nā keiki, akā ʻo ia ka hihia i kēlā me kēia manawa ke paʻi kiʻi ʻoe i nā keiki.

Ke hoʻopaʻa puke ʻoe i kāu kau a i ʻole inā he kūkākūkā ma mua o ke kau, e hōʻoia mau loa e nīnau i nā mākua i kekahi mau nīnau e pili ana i kā lākou keiki - pehea lākou e launa pū ai, pāʻani pū lākou, e hoʻopaʻa lākou i nā lima, inā ʻōpio ke keiki - e ʻae ka mea liʻiliʻi i kāna kaikuaʻana e ʻohi iā ia - ma ke ʻano nui, nā nīnau e pili ana i kā lākou pili a me nā mea e kōkua ai i ka ʻoluʻolu o ke keiki me ʻoe. ʻAʻole pono ʻoe e hoʻoweliweli a hoʻonāwaliwali paha inā ʻaʻole makemake nā kaikaina e hui pū. ʻO ia ka manawa e pāʻani ai kāu hana - e lapuwale, e pāʻani i kahi pāʻani, e ʻike i kahi ma kāu wahi i hiki ʻole iā lākou ke pale aku i ka piʻi ʻana, a i ʻole ke kū ʻana i luna, e ʻuā lākou i nā huaʻōlelo hoʻomākeʻaka a leʻaleʻa wale a hoʻomaha i ke kaiapuni. Eia kekahi, e ʻike nā keiki inā makaʻu ʻoe me lākou, no laila e hoʻāʻo i ka mea e hiki ai ke hōʻoluʻolu i kāu kau. Ma ke ʻano he makuahine o ʻekolu mau keiki, mai 10 a 2 mau makahiki, ʻoluʻolu loa wau a puni nā keiki i kaʻu mau papa, e paʻa pinepine ana i ko lākou mau lima e hele i ke alanui, a i ʻole ʻohi iā lākou e "lele" iā lākou i nā lima o ko lākou kaikuahine no kahi kiʻi.

Ma muli o koʻu makemake e hoʻopaʻa i ka pilina ma waena o nā kaikaina, makemake pinepine wau i nā keiki e pili pū. Kūlohelohe paha kēia me kekahi mau kaikaina, akā ʻaʻole ma nā poʻe ʻē aʻe. Hoʻomaka wau i kekahi manawa i kahi kiʻi, e like me ka paʻa lima, a laila ʻōlelo wau, "hoʻokahi, ʻelua, ʻekolu - ʻapo!" - a i ʻole kekahi mea ʻē aʻe e hoʻopili pū iā lākou. He ʻohana hoʻokahi koʻu me kahi kaikaina a me koʻu kaikuahine, aʻu e paʻi kiʻi nei no nā makahiki. I kēia manawa, nīnau maoli lākou iaʻu inā hiki iā lākou ke moe i luna o kekahi. Nīnau pinepine wau i kahi kaikuaʻana e ʻohi i ka mea ʻōpio - ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke kōkua akā kokoke a leʻaleʻa - hāʻule i lalo i kekahi manawa. ʻO ka hapa nui o kaʻu mau pana maikaʻi ke nīnau wau i nā keiki e kū i kekahi ala, a laila hāʻule maoli lākou i waho o kēlā kiʻi a ʻakaʻaka a hana paha i kekahi mea lapuwale. E noi paha wau iā lākou e paʻa i nā lima a hele, a laila ma hope o 30 kekona, haʻi wau iā lākou e holo! Ma ke ʻano he makua, makemake ʻoe ma mua o nā mea āpau e ʻike i kāu mau keiki e leʻaleʻa pū ana, a ʻo ia ke kumu e hoʻāʻo ai wau e hopu i nā manawa kuikawa ma waena o nā kaikaina e kū wale nei i kēlā me kēia lā.

Me nā keiki liʻiliʻi, 4 a lalo hoʻi, paʻakikī i ka manawa e noho pū lākou i waho. No laila, hoʻāʻo pinepine au a loaʻa kekahi mea e hoʻokūpaʻa iā lākou - nā alapiʻi, kahi noho, ka pā. ʻIke paha lākou i kahi wahi hoihoi e noho ai i laila no hoʻokahi minuke, lōʻihi e kiʻi ai i ke kī ʻana o lāua ʻelua. ʻO kahi laʻana, i ke kiʻi o nā keikikāne māhoe ma kahakai, hele aku lākou i nā ʻaoʻao ʻokoʻa i ka minuke i kuʻi ko lākou wāwae i ke one. I ka manawa e hoʻokuʻu mākou iā lākou e piʻi i ke alapiʻi no kekahi mau minuke, ua makemake lākou e noho pū - a laila ʻapo a ʻakaʻaka a loaʻa ka manawa maikaʻi. I kekahi manawa pono i nā keiki ʻōpio ke kūʻokoʻa e hoʻopuka i kekahi ikehu ma mua o ka hiki ke noho mālie a kiʻi ʻia i ke kiʻi. I nā manawa he nui, pono i nā keiki ʻōpio e haki a holo a laila, e hoʻi lākou no kahi kiʻi, no laila hāʻawi ka manawa no kēia.

ʻO nā manaʻo ʻē aʻe e mālama pū i nā keiki - e paʻa lākou i nā lima a wili, e moe pū lākou i ka honua, hoʻohana pinepine wau i ka huaʻōlelo "snuggle" a hana lākou! Hiki iā ʻoe ke noi iā lākou e hāʻawi kekahi i kekahi i nā huakaʻi puaʻa, honi, a i ʻole nā ​​ʻapo, a i ʻole e noi iā lākou e hāwanawana mālie i kekahi mea i ko lākou kaikaina. Hiki iā lākou ke kiʻi i kekahi i kekahi (ʻike i ka mea ʻoi aku ka ikaika!), E hoʻomoe i kahi ʻōpū i ka ʻōpū ma luna o kahi kaikuaʻana i ihu lākou i ka ihu a i ʻole ka papalina i ka papalina - pili maoli ia i ka leʻaleʻa a hoʻokuʻu i nā keiki i leʻaleʻa kāu. ʻO kahi kihi maikaʻi loa, inā loaʻa ka manaʻo o nā keiki i ka mea a lākou e makemake ai e hana, e hoʻāʻo iā lākou - he manawa kūikawā paha ia.

I ka hopena, inā ʻoe e hoʻokuʻu i nā keiki e pāʻani a leʻaleʻa, hiki iā ʻoe ke hopu pū i kekahi mau manawa nani o lākou. E hoʻomaha a mai hopohopo inā ʻaʻole lākou e nānā pololei i ka pahu paʻi - ʻoi aku ka nui o ka nānā ʻana o kekahi i kekahi a me ka hana ʻana i kahi hoʻomanaʻo e like me ke kiʻi āu i kiʻi ai.

ʻO Alison Frank Chesney o ʻO Alison Frank Photography he kiʻi paʻi kiʻi a me ka mea paʻi kiʻi male ma Florida Hema. Ua hauʻoli ʻo ia i ke kiʻi ʻana i nā manawa nani no nā keiki a me nā ʻohana no nā makahiki ʻehiku i hala.
