Nana arrived in town the same day Alexa's new school had their open house. The new school, KinderBugs has been very successful in the neighboring town. They are opening their doors to a Chandler location this fall. Alexa is enrolled in a 4 year old, PreK class room. I am super nervous and excited for her at the same time. The school is very kid friendly and the teacher show true passion for their jobs. Alexa instantly connected with her teacher. She was able to explore the different areas of the room and met a few of her classmates. She starts school in 1 month. She has class Monday through Thursday for 3 hours a day. I know Addison and I will miss her a ton.
During Nana's visit we went to the zoo where Alexa and I rode a camel together. We went to the Water-park a few times and of course swim lessons. We spent a few evenings in the pool and even went to a Diamonback's Game. When we arrived downtown for the baseball game, Alexa was asked to be the "Play Ball Kid." Of course we accepted and then spent the next 2 hours practicing for her moment of fame. She had so much fun doing the interview and talking to the Diamonback's Entertainers (Cheerleaders?).
Alexa's swim lessons have been a huge success. She went from being a very beginner swimmer to going half way across the pool on her own. She is comfortable diving for rings, jumping in by herself and swimming 10-15 yards. We are very proud of her. I think we will move her into group class come the fall so she can focus on a new sport too.
The last week before we left for Ohio was super busy. Alexa continued swimming, we had to pack up clothes/wedding items for 12 days and had family photos. I really wanted photos that showed Arizona's unique scenery. Of course when the day came it was the hottest day we have experienced (116*) and a dust storm was moving in. The pictures turned out OK and we managed to avoid the storm. The rest of the summer will be spent in Ohio and then preparing for school to start. The last 2 months have flown by.
