Helina & I ready for church with our matching outfits |
I like Manihiki. Maman is not running around anymore doing errands and Papa doesn't work on
the weekend or at night. My brother Yann is at home a lot as school is only until
11. He's a bit rough but he loves me. And I love him. He always wants to
squash me and I think it's funny! But I spend a lot of time alone with
Maman because Yann plays outside with his friends. I also like it here
because it is warm so I only need my nappy! And sometimes a nice dress
to look like a girl.
In Manihiki there are also all my aunties.
They always take me for a cuddle, especially at church. My favorite
aunty is Winnie. She lives not far from us and is Yann's school teacher.
I often go for a visit. Her daughter Helina and son Frederick also look
after me. Helina always carries me to school in the morning. She makes
sure the sun is not in my face. Frederick always, always wants to kiss
me and hold me. But he plays marble in the sand so he's only allowed to
touch my little feet! That's what Maman and aunty Winnie tell him.

When
Winnie comes to get me, I know I will spend a nice afternoon. She gives
me a bath, massages me with coconut oil. It helps my muscles to grow
strong, keeps the mosquitoes away and makes me look good and smell nice.
And then she dresses me nicely.

Unfortunately I am not allowed
to eat ice cream like the other children. Yann always says "Charlie trop
petite", which means that I am too small. But I can't complain because I
have Maman's milk all to myself! Soon I'll be able to start drinking
nimata too, mmmh fresh coconut! So when I'm hungry, Winnie brings me
back home for titi time. Or Helina goes to tell Maman to come over and
feed me. I can take my time to drink because I don't need to share.

When
I finished my Kai Kai with Maman, aunty Winnie cuddles me and sings
me songs in Maori. I am not sure what she says. All I understand is Moe
Moe. Maybe it means sleep because all I know is that I always wake up an
hour later on Winnie's bed!
