Swimming (Well, kind of)

Lexi is in swim lessons.  The lessons are everyday Monday through Thursday for two weeks.  Today is ONLY day 3.  I say ONLY because it is not much fun for her, or me.  Over the past 3 days we have worked on kicking, extending arms, blowing bubbles, and going under.  Lexi will float in my arms without kicking a leg, keep her arms to herself, and refuses to blow bubbles.  She simply does not want to exert any energy.  Today was the first day to go under water.  I could not dip her first.  One of the instructors did it the first time for me.  I was the only mom who couldn't do it!  Lexi went to the instructor, went under for a second, and did great!  We practiced two more times.  She did not cry, but she did seem a little confused as to why we put her under.  By the end of the lesson she was climbing up my body and asking over and over to get out.  I hope today didn't scared her too much.  We'll see what tomorrow holds!

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.  Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great!  All the boxcars were unique and wonderful!  The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!

daddy/daughter dance

I have some catching up to do on the blog, but I wanted to write tonight while my feelings and emotions are raw... About a month ago we received an email about the daddy/daughter dance tonight.  Jason attached the flyer and forwarded it to me saying, "I have to work."  I frowned and moved on.  I didn't think much about it until the other day.  I had an "a-ha" moment and asked Jason if we could ask his dad so Lexi wouldn't miss out on the ball.  Jason called Kevin the next day and I received a text from Jason right after saying, "My dad would be happy to take Lexi."  I was delighted and Lexi was on cloud 9 when I told her Paw Paw wanted to take her to the ball (side note...we didn't tell Lexi about the ball because we didn't think she was going to be able to attend since Jason was out of town). The next day Jason left work early and met us at the mall for a little ball dress shopping.  Lexi danced around the dressing room in about 8 diff...
