"Walle-E" Comes To Mind

October 21, 2008
When I picked Alexis up from school, she had a big zip-loc bag to show me. It was full of computer parts. She and her classmates had disassembled a computer. Ms. Inga's husband is a computer guy. That's what he does for a living. Alexis was so excited to get to "see" all the insides of a computer; to see what makes it work. Now, she has all of those parts scattered on top of her dresser. I'm wondering what she thinks she's going to do will all of those parts? Walle-E is coming to my mind!!!!! We are believing it's not coming to hers?

A "Loooooove This" Update!

October 6, 2008
Alexis is going on her 3rd week at her new school. She LOOOOOOOVES this new school. She loves it so much that she awakens each morning excited about going and hops right out of bed, gets dressed and off we go. She often wants me to speed so she can get there quicker. When I pick her up in the afternoons, she asks if I can come back later to get her. Departing from school, each afternoon, she commands that I turn around and take her right back. Alexis doesn't go to school on Fridays and is, OH!!! SO SAD. Ms. Inga deserves lots of kudos. I ask Alexis each day if she misses me? Her reply is a shake of her head from side-to-side rather than up & down. Sigh. She is beginning to understand the blending of letter sounds to create words. She knows the words "the" & "a" by sight. She just went on an adventure with Hopper; we'll tell you about that later.
