My 8th Birthday

On my 8th birthday I got:

* A Keep-Safe Diary

* Connect 4

* Guess Who

* Slippers

* A lollipop pad and pencil

* A Rubbish Bin for my room

* Tennis Balls

* Money

We celebrated my birthday on Saturday. I had lots of presents, and we had yummy food to eat. In the afternoon we went swimming at the pools, and then we went and got some DVDs out. I chose Cat in the Hat and Dark Shadows. They were both cool, and Cat in the Hat was funny.

On Monday I went shopping with my birthday money and I bought a Tennis Set with pink tennis balls, a drink bottle and a pink and purple tennis racquet.

My 8th birthday was amazing.

I was very sick

I was very sick. I had a whole week off school. I came back on Friday.

I was throwing up heaps. Mum and Dad took my TEMPRICHA (temperature). It was boiling.

Then they took it again. It was way lower now.

I had to stay in bed all day. Dad gave me a phone so I could ring him or Mum when I needed something. 

 I was watching DVDs all day. I watched some that we had and some that Mum got from the DVD shop.

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!

Hockey

Faith had her first hockey game of the season this week. She did very well and enjoyed herself a lot. Her team won the game 7-2. She is really looking forward to the next game.
