Today is Lex’s last day of kindergarten! He’s pretty excited for summer vacation (we all are!) but it was so cute to see his whole class this morning at drop off. They were all bouncing and full of energy. Lex brought his teacher a gift and he was so cute when he gave it to her. He said “This is a present for you for being such a great teacher this year.” :) He picked it out, Eve wrapped it and decorated the paper, I wrote a thank you note. The teacher LOVED it! We got a set of connecting octagons, similar to what we have here, except, as Lex told his teacher, “These are octagons and mine at home are hexagons.” Lex also brought in his yearbook to have everyone sign it. I guess one of the boys (with an older brother!) was doing that yesterday at school and Lex thought it would be a good idea. I can’t wait to see it. I was going to plan a special last-day-of-school something… playdate or outing or something, but we have been so super busy these past few weeks that I think we all just want some downtime. And I have a Board meeting tonight anyway, so it would have a been a rushed “something” anyway. Instead we’ll have snack and make pancakes for dinner and just chillax! Looking forward to it… on that note I have to go meet him at the bus stop! Last time for two years, I think!! (Because of Eve’s preschool schedule next year I think I’ll be picking Lex up at school every day)

Quick Update: He got off the bus today very sadly. He started right in telling me that they celebrated two summer birthdays today and went outside to eat popsicles. I thought that sounded like fun and asked why he was so sad about it. Apparently he had been planning to get all his classmates to sign his book at choice time, but they went outside for popsicles at choice time instead, so he was only able to have a few people sign it on the bus. He was so sad. I wish I could cuddle away all of life’s little disappointments. Sigh. I’m pretty sure he was over it by the time we finished snack though, so it definitely falls under the “little” disappointments category!
