Today was the last day of school for the year, the last day of grade 1. It’s been a tough year as you know. I knew Veronika had missed ‘a lot’ of school this year, following her surgery, and when her school report came home…..as the saying goes ‘When it’s written, it’s real…’ Seeing it…

Jordan, Veronika’s eldest brother took this picture of Veronika…..I think he’s captured Veronika perfectly Our determined, stubborn and incredibly cheeky girl.

Miss Veronika had a very busy week this week….this week was Veronika’s return to full time school as part of her transition back to school following her surgery way back in April.

My girl could only just stand up in the walking frame when she started her hip reconstruction rehab 2 weeks ago….2 weeks of intense rehab done at Monash children’s hospital during the school holidays and Veronika walked around her school this morning.
