Lexi's First Day of School

ok,.... first i would like to apologize for the lack of pittures.... but, i iwll get to that later. today was lexi's very first day of school!! her alarm went off at 6:30am, and she came zooming out of her room, screaming,..."today i am going to school, i'm going to school today...". she was so excited, we all got ready in no time flat. her aunt suzie showed up at 7:00am and we all loaded up and drove to the school. even though we were VERY early, we had to park like 10 miles away!! thank goodness it wasn't snowing and that we weren't barefooted! as we started to get closer and closer, lexi's stride started to slow down a little bit. by the time we got into the building, she was just one scared little girl.... it absolutely broke my heart. when suzie asked her if she was ok, lexi replied with, "yeah, my knee hurts."
whatever.



so, we got to her classroom door, and i could feel the burn starting to happen on my face.... my throat got tight, and my stomach started to hurt. i really didn't want her to see me this way, so my resolution was to give her a quick hug, tell her "good-bye" and turn around and leave! uugghhhh.... seriously.... what about all the parents that are joyfully videotaping their kids in the classroom? why weren't they crying! anyways,.... thank goodness for aunt suzie, because she stuck around and watched lexi go inside. suzie said it was a little depressing watching her in there, looking around, clueless.... to me, she was just too darn small to be in that classroom (even though i think she may be the tallest one). anyways,... that is why there are not anymore pictures,.... i just couldn't do it. afterwards, once we picked her up, she had such a GREAT day and is really looking forward to tomorrow!! that's a good thing!
