Lexi's First Bike Ride

Lexi's big birthday present was a two wheeled bicycle...with training wheels. It was a special request of Grandma and she totally came through. And an added special bonus...It's a Hello Kitty Bike!

Lexi was really timid at first, but after a bit of coaxing and lots of encouragement, she got the hang of it and really rode well!




And once she got the hang of it, she really wanted to keep going! Of course, she had to run excitedly inside to get Jeff to come out to watch her! So freaking cute!


Oh...My baby is growing up!

5 Year Old Know it All

Apparently on the way home from school today, Jeff was trying to explain something to Lexi and her response was: "Dad, I know! I'm 5 now!"

Oh my goodness...Really? Does it really start the day after they turn 5? I'm so not ready for the next 13 years of this attitude! Of course, she really only gives Dad attitude so if he can handle it...it's all his!

Happy 5th Birthday Lexi

So my girl is 5 today! Amazing! She has been counting down the days to her birthday for months!

It's her first birthday at school! So I had to go Buy cupcakes...yes you read that right! Most schools now have a rule that the goodies need to be store bought so that they can know about it's preparation and ingredients for allergy information. So what I could have made for about $4.00 cost me $19.00...what a rip off! Okay...enough griping...because Lexi LOVED her cupcakes and so did the kids. I also bought cookies for her daycare kids too.

We started off the day with Jeff walking into her room to say "Happy Birthday" to Lexi and her response..."I know it Dad!" LOL! I took her to school with the cupcakes and cookies. We first stopped off at Discovery Club (her daycare) to drop off the cookies. The kids in DC are kids from all the grades in elementary school so some of them were already there...and they had drawn a huge sign on the board in lots of colors..."Happy Birthday Lexi!" It was so cute and Lexi was just in heaven. Then we dropped off her cupcakes at her Kindergarten class and while I was doing that, she took off for the playground...something I am told she never does with Jeff! Then it was off to work for me but I knew she was having a special day!

After work and school, Lexi and I headed to her Ballet Class with Hannah and Hailey. She absolutely loves this class because H&H are there with her. Mandy and I went next door for an hour of pampering while they danced and then we headed off to dinner for Lexi's birthday.

Lexi had chosen Chinese food for dinner and she was absolutely in heaven with the egg rolls and fat rice noodles. H&H tried everything because they were all Lexi's favorites LOL!

By the time we got home, Lexi was wiped out...but she had a fabulous birthday!
