Daddy and his friend braiding my hair - I had to keep very still, which I'm not very good at!

……to braid a seven year old girl’s hair?

Today Daddy’s best friend came to visit. He bought me two very special presents. The first was a hair braider with all sorts of lovely coloured beads to put in my braids.

The other present was a gorgeous set of 50 crayons. I was so pleased with them and even Mummy was a bit envious. There is every colour in the rainbow in the set and I’m going to have so much fun using them to do my drawings and cards.

Today I went out with Grandma for the day and for my swimming lesson. I made a card for my teacher because it was the last time I shall see him. He is leaving the Leisure Centre to be a Policeman. Mummy saw the card this morning and it made her cry! She thought I would draw a picture of me and my teacher swimming in the water. Instead I drew a picture of me sitting under a tree with a sad face. I drew this because I’m going to miss him and Mummy thought I was very special and loving to be missing somebody and draw them such a lovely picture.

I shall miss him, but Mummy tells me that I can remember him for the rest of my life as the person who taught me to swim. I felt better hearing that.
