Proud Mommy moment!

Last friday was the AG Bell Speech Fair at Lexie's school. It was basically like a recital for all the speaking Deaf kids in the area, from Lexie's age up to Highschool. It was really fun to get to see the kids progress as they got older, and it was really amazing to see how talented a lot of the older kids were. Everyone was speaking, and there were a TON of musical performances. It's great to see other kids who started out where Lexie is doing so many things involving sound. Lexie's preschool theme this year is T.E.A.M (Together Everyone Achieves More), so they did a sport's theme for the fair. Her class did a cheer, which was "2,4,6,8, who do we appreciate? Mom, Dad, They are Great! Yay!" It was totally cute, and Lexie actually said her parts! Her teacher Lori Ruth (who is just the best teacher on the whole planet) warned me that a lot of kids clam up on stage, and Lexie definately gets stage fright when I try to get her to show people what she can say, but not on that night! That was sort of amazing considering there were like 100 people in the audience. And the best part was, I got it on camera! The kids in her class on the video, from left to right, are Seth, Lexie, Leah (Lexie's best friend at school), and Benson. They are the cutest little things. Lexie is the second youngest in her class, and Benson (the youngest) started out the year already talking some, so you'll notice the other kids are a little more advanced in their talking than she is. Her teacher, Lori, is holding the microphone, and Nichole, the teacher's aide, is in the back. So enjoy, our little Lexie ACTUALLY TALKING!! Woot woot!
