All I want for Christmas

Lexie lost her first tooth!  One of the bottom front teeth.  She got a five dollar bill folded into a bow tie from the tooth fairy. 

Lex is really enjoying school and Y Camp.  Today we took in a large box of her old toys that Lex and Grammy packed up earlier this year, and took it to the Y.  We had our first open house last week.  I really like her school, and her teacher.  Looks like I'll get to be a parent helper the second Friday of each month starting in November.  I'm pretty excited about it.  Yesterday when I picked Lexie up she told me that a gril said Lexie's necklace wasn't pretty, said her pet rock (class project) was ugly, and when Lexie tried to talk to her, the girl stuck her fingers in her ears and sang, na-na-na-na-na-na.  Mother instinct kicked in and when she pointed the girl out to me...I actually glared at her!  Then I thought, "get a grip Rachel!"  I told Lex that her opinion didn't really matter, and if she does it again, just walk away.  Lex wasn't really upset about it, but it is the first time she's complained to me about a conflict she has with a peer.

Mondays are still Grammy days.  Grammy comes over early in the morning, takes Lexie to school and picks her up.  Last Monday after school they went back up to Yamhill for the afternoon.  What a treat!
