Valentines Day

I know I should have written this on the 14th of February.......

Valentines Day has never been a 'big' day in our house - flowers, a box of chocolates to share and dinner with the kids. It never meant much to Kayleigh in primary school either - she didn't have many friends and only spoke to a few of the boys about common interests. When she got to Year 7 however,  it changed a bit for her. Valentines Day is very early in the year, she had only been at school for a couple of weeks, not enough to really get to know any one new and she received quite a few things from several different boys for Valentines day. There was a couple of roses, a box of chocolates and , from one boy, a very nice silver butterfly clip for her hair. I think Kayleigh said the boys name was Brendan who was in her Aspire group. He also gave her a matching hair band. Kayleigh wore it everyday - it was quite a nice hair clip , until i explained that by wearing it she may give the impression that she ''liked'' this boy. Kayleigh quickly gave up wearing it everyday.

For Valentines Day in Year 8 again she got a couple fo flowers and chocolates - I don't know who from, but it did make her feel welcome at the school, something she had never felt at Primary school. and I think she liked the attention!
