Our normal routine is that Jeff takes Lexi to school each day because it is actually right on his way to work. However, this week, Jeff is sick...in bed with fever and cough! So I am taking Lexi to school in the mornings and picking her up.
Watching her put on her backpack, walk up the school steps and line up with the other children is almost surreal. And a daily reminder of how grown up she really is. This morning, I actually walked her onto the playground and bumped into her teacher. Mrs. Geddes told me how focused Lexi is in class. I'm impressed because just a short 6 months ago, that was her biggest challenge at preschool...focusing on the task at hand! So...needless to say, I'm a very proud Mommy at the progress she has made!
I'm still also loving that the school rules and the home rules are identical so I can talk to her about how she is behaving at school and know that she understands exactly what I mean!
