Lexi Anne: Pre-School- Year One

09/01/20 

My sweet Lexi girl, today is your very first day of Pre-School! When I first considered putting you in school this year I wasn't sure how you would respond, but since telling you that you would be going to school you have been so EXCITED! Your dad and I took you do to a little back to school shopping mainly because you needed new pants haha. The night before your first day we started a new tradition as a family, each year before you girls start a new school year we as a family will come up with a theme to work on throughout the year. This year I picked "Kindness Begins with Me" from the primary song. I figured that the world we live in now is getting harder and harder and less nice so I wanted to make sure to instill that in my kids. That night we did a little lesson on speaking kindly to people and enjoyed some of grandmas yummy  chocolate chip cookies. I got you some cute ABC pajamas that you were excited about and got your outfit and backpack laid out for the next day! 

On the morning of your first day we had mini muffins and milk for breakfast, you were so excited about your first day that you barely ate anything. You kept asking me every 5 minutes or so if it was time to go. :) You wore a cute pink jumper dress that our friend Ashely got for you, and I curled your hair all cute for pictures. I went a little all out and bought a fun Back to School box from a small business in Utah that had fun decorations and a tiny school bus that you loved! When we drove you to school I asked you what you were most excited for about Pre-school and you said "My teacher, Mrs. Karissa!" I am so glad you have such a great teacher! We took you inside and you were a little shy at first but you warmed right up! After school was over your dad and I picked you up and I asked you what your favorite thing about school was and you said "the roller coaster." I was so confused but luckily my friend is a teacher  there and she told me they had a fun car with a track in their backyard for kids to play on.  Haha that is so you, you really like cars! 

I can't wait to see how much you learn and grow this year baby girl! We love you so much, knowledge is power and I can't wait to watch you learn each year!
