Something bad, something good.

Today Faith had an accident at school during lunchtime and hit her head pretty bad. She was running and as she turned she ran into a metal pole and split her eyebrow open. Mum had to come and pick her up and take her to the doctor to get fixed up.

By the time the doctor was finished it was time to go back to school to pick up Neihana. On the way we stopped in at Dad's work to get a cuddle and show him her big bump. He gave her some lollies from his office and a big hug and kiss.

When we got to the school, Faith went to her classroom to pick up her homework book and show her teacher her swollen eye. Faith's teacher had a surprise for her. She had missed school assembly while she was at the doctor, and she had earned two certificates! One for her choir performance earlier this week, and one for great work in maths.

It was a nice surprise for a little girl with a very sore head. Tonight she is going to relax in front of the TV for a while!

You may have noticed the design of Faith’s blog has changed. She sat down with me a few days ago with very specific ideas about how she wanted it to look. Originally I had just applied a basic template. She felt very strongly that this was not how her blog should look. J So we sat down together and did a bit of a redesign. Actually, I did the clicking and pasting, under her very specific instructions. (It actually took quite a few hours. She was VERY specific. And a little mean. At one point she said “remember mum, it’s not about what YOU want, it’s about what I want”. ) She designed the header, chose the background, the colours, the fonts and every other little detail of it. Now she’s happy. What do you think?

Faith’s very proud of herself because she got a certificate at school today for improvement in her reading.
