Last day of school

Alexis has been counting down the days until her last day of school, and today was finally the last day. Since her birthday is a week after school gets out, her teacher said that we could bring treats and celebrate it today. Alexis wanted chocolate donuts. We bought some this morning and then went a little early to bring them into her classroom. I was glad that we did because it gave me a chance to talk to Alexis's teacher and tell her how much we appreciated her this year and how much we would miss her. Alexis gave her a present too, and I took a picture. Her teacher (Mrs. Griffith) started to get all teary, and she told Alexis how much she would miss her. She said she calls Alexis her little "mini me." (Her name is Alexis too). At the end of the day I picked up Alexis fully expecting her to be excited and ready for the summer. But I was greeted with a sad little face. When we got home Alexis started to sob, and climbed in my lap. She said that she was going to miss Mrs. Griffith so much. I remember crawling into my mom's lap and crying when I was in 2nd grade, when a teacher that I loved left to go to another school. I still remember the sadness I felt. I am so glad that Alexis had such a great teacher and a great year
