Boo boo

Monday I picked up Aurora from school and she had a band aid across her face. I don't think you can tell from this picture, but it was basically covering scratches that covered her whole cheek!


The crazy thing is, Aurora really seemed happy about it. I asked her how she got her boo boo, and she said "Running and jumping and playing!" I guess the big kid playground is just very exciting and has some great sloping areas to run up and down. Her teacher said she didn't cry or tell anybody, they just noticed it, cleaned her up and gave her a band aid.

The funniest thing was the next morning when she first saw her face in the mirror, after the band aid was gone and it had scabbed up, she said "Oh no! My boo boo hurts!" It didn't hurt. Now it's almost gone (if only she'd stop scratching the scabs). Little kids seriously have bionic healing powers.

I wanted to show you her face, but decided I'd just take a picture of her showing off a little art project that they posted on the wall and holding a worksheet. These days when I ask her about her favorite part of the day, she doesn't just say "Friends" anymore - she says "The Zebra Class!"

Aurora's so funny and cute. Too bad she got a boo boo, but what a great attitude. Three cheers for the Zebra class!

Sounds like Aurora is already able to keep on going despite life's boo boos along the way!

Aurora looks cute even with her boo boo. It's good that's she's learning to take some of life's "downs' without problem. Glad she likes the Zebra class. When she comes to Arizona and goes to Out of Africa, she can see real zebras close up.
