A proud moment and not so proud moment

Today I was able to go to school to see Madison get an award for generosity. Each month her school focuses on one good character quality. The teacher picks one student that she thinks displays this quality the most and Madison was chosen this month for generosity. We have always been very proud of Madison for all the wonderful qualities that she has. Madison receiving her award with the other 4th graders. (Yes she really is that much taller then the average 4th grader)

K now for not one of my best moments as a mom. Madison came home from school today and was wrapped up in a lot of stuff so I really wasn't paying attention. She told me that she got hit in the eye with a Frisbee at PE today. I glanced up but it only looked a little red so I didn't think much of it and Madison does have a tendency to be over dramatic about injuries. Well the night went on and I was still very consumed with my chores when Madison walked by and I was shocked. She had a black eye. I felt so bad that I did not show her more attention earlier. I have learned that she may be dramatic at times but I really should pay closer attention to her. This picture really doesn't show how dark the bruise is but it does show how swollen her face is. After I noticed and sat down to talk to her about it, she told me this was the first time that she had ever cried at school. I ask her if she went to nurse for ice but she didn't. She is shier at school then at home and doesn't like attention on her.
