Alexis Goes to First Grade

What a very exciting day I had today!  Grandpa and Mommy took me up to Grandma's school for a pizza party. When Grandpa walked into the classroom first with six pizzas the boys and girls all starting chanting, "Pizza! Pizza! Pizza" in unison.  But then when Mommy and I walked in they were all excited to see me.  One of the boys in Grandma's class named Armando had made a little book for me and he read out it out loud to me.  I think Grandma's done a good job of teaching him how to read this year.  All the boys and girls swarmed around me and wanted to touch and kiss me.  I felt so special.  Then Grandma and I helped pass out the pizza and Mommy poured the soda and Grandpa took pictures and watched.  He said he had a new respect for Grandma because taking care of all 24 of those little boys and girls is a really big job.  After everyone except for me got to eat pizza Grandma held me on her lap and all the boys and girls got to come up and give me a hug or kiss and say goodbye because they had to go to gym class.  That was so much fun but it wore Mommy and I out.  When we got home we went straight to bed and took a long nap.  Tonight, Grandma and Mommy gave me a bath so I am all clean and ready for my airplane ride tomorrow.  I am going to New York to see my Great Grandpa and Great Grandma and a whole bunch of other people.  My Great Aunt Joy is getting married.  This will be my very first wedding.  I'm so excited!  I'd better get to bed, Grandpa says we have to be at the airport by 5:00 am.  That's early!
