Egg Head

As if my day of walking my children back from the bus was not full of warm fuzzy's already, here is what else happened that day.

When I greeted Hikawera getting off the bus the same day this is what met me.

Hang on it looks much better in this photo

(If you can't see what I am talking about he has a really big EGG in the middle of his forehead.)

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! No phone call, No letter in his bag...... Nothing... but my 5 year old telling me he ran into a pole after lunchtime - but still ran in the cross country practice that afternoon.... UNBELIEVEABLE! I don't cotton wool my children but I do draw the line somewhere. 

We arrived home after 4 from walking up from the bus stop so  I left a very stern and unimpressed message on the school message service.

Needless to say I had a very colorful discussion with the office when I went to see them the next morning. I know my son is a little prone to injuries but common sense would tell you to call to let parent know that their child will be coming home "damaged".. 

Actually a good  point to raise from this. Check out the school or childcare their policy and procedures for accidents or ANY incidents or occurances involving your child. Weather it be verbal, behavior, academic anything, make it VERY clear and specific - to be noted on their file - that you must be contacted immediately with anything involving your child(ren) comes up. Some schools are good, others are very lapsed and are not required to inform.... so check it out and be Specific!! I sure was that day!! (one for the mums)
