Innocence is Bliss

Well, two weeks ago, Lexi's class was learning about Dr.Martin Luther King. Apparently, this really impacted lexi. For days she would talk about how she just couldn't believe someone could be arrested for not giving up their seat to a white person,etc... She just really took it very seriously. She would comment how wonderful Dr. King is and how thankful she is for him,etc...On the actual MLK day, I asked lexi if she knew why she was out of school then proceeded to tell her."He gets his own DAY!?!?!?" she asked in utter disbelief."wow he really was amazing" she said shaking her head as if still not believing it. "you know mom, if it hadn't been for Dr king, we wouldn't be able to have Bailey(our black lab). I am so thankful for him." and just like that she turned to go outside and appreciate bailey, for without Dr. King we wouldn't be able to have her.
