or I need to go to the counter in a café or restaurant to order something,
41
181416
4920
03:06
then I would say to the children,

04:02

04:21
so I make the most of it when I can."
63
261921
2250
04:26
Is there a special person in your life that you cherish?
64
266561
3300
04:30
In fact, this Christmas I bought both of my sons a little music box which plays You
65
270751
7940
04:38
Are My Sunshine, and this is a song that I've sung to my boys every night since
66
278691
4570
04:43
they were born, and they really relate that song to me and our relationship.
67
283261
8755
04:52
So, these little wind up music boxes, that they have to use a
68
292706
3660
04:56
little crank to wind themselves, they really cherish those music boxes.
69
296386
6980
05:03
They were probably the most cherished Christmas presents because they meant
70
303538
4460
05:08
so much to the boys that they now have them next to their beds on their little
71
308008
5290
05:13
shelf next to their beds and they play them every night when they first
72
313298
4530
05:17
get into bed and it makes them smile.
73
317828
2060
05:20
And I hope that they will cherish them for the rest of their
74
320493
3430
05:23
lives if they last that long.
75
323923
1870
05:26
So, that's our five for today.
76
326643
2630
05:29

79

05:37
Then we had the adjective innate, which is like this natural ability
80

05:42
or quality that you're born with.
81
342863

05:52
Then we have the idiom stay put, which is, "Don't move,
84
352233
4930
05:57
stay in the same place please."
85
357343
1650
05:59
And we finished with the verb to cherish, to keep something in your
86

4350
06:04
mind because it's important to you and it brings you pleasure.

My mother didn't share my or my brother's thirst for adventure, so during the school

131
518083
2580

09:26
remind myself of the journeys that I've been lucky enough to enjoy.

09:30
Sharing these experiences with my children is also very important to me,
142
570384
