1st grade

Oh my little love, so much. Time has passed since my last update. Being a mom and juggling three kids, while trying to work one day a week makes it hard to keep up. Last post i see Was when you started kindergarten at Montessori academy. Daddy and i starteD you and Eli at Montessori because we felt you needed a learning environment that tailored to your personality, the grow and learn on what your heart desires. You liked it but i felt You weren’t growing to your full potential. We tested you into upland Christian and you got in, but we ultimately decided to put you & Eli into grapeland elementary right up the street. Being able to walk to and from school has been a DELIGHT. Daddy walked you to school last week and you were ONE minute late; principal Shaw had shit the gate and told you to go through the front office for a tardy slip. You cried and cried. Principal Shaw saw you in the halls and took your tardy slip and crumpled it up. Your teacher, Mrs.. Carnes, told you “everything is fixable in first grade”. You have excelled and grown so much in just the few short weeks of school already. Your confidence has soared, your maturity is increasing. You and the neighbor Grant are in the same classroom. He tells me you like to TALK a lot. I am Not surprised. You have made friends very quickly says your teacher, i am happy to hear that. I was So worried you wouldn’t adjust to the change of environment easily but i guess It was me that was having the hard time, not you. You are reading, you have lost 4 teeth, you are an AMAZING big sister, you love to eat muffins in the morning and afternoon, you like boiled eggs and moms casserole. You dislike hotdogs (which Eli loves). Your hair is blonde, you’re 48” y’all (big enough to go on ALLLLL the rides at Disneyland) , and you weigh 54 pounds. We took you on California screaming at California adventure since you’re tall enough now. You were so excited to go since it is the incredible s theme now and we had just seen the movie. I didnt Tell you about the upside down turn because i knew You would chicken out. So we got on, you went on the loop, AND I’m pretty sure you passed out for about 3 seconds during the loop. You got off saying you didn’t like that one so much but you tried it. Most all of the other rollercoasters at Disneyland you LOVE. You are a great swimmer, you sleep amazingly. You have brought this family so much love and light, thank you for being you Deborah jean Alexander . Here’s to another year of love and happiness,
Mommy
