As I was leaving E's classroom today after drop-off, the Kindergartners were coming down from their morning meeting area called Grace Commons. I
took the opportunity to hang out and see L w/ her friends. Cute. Then I
saw the teachers and it triggered a thought, "Oh, I should just remind
them that L is going on a bus starting today." So I did and when I said the words,
"it's her first time on the bus, can you take extra care and make sure
she gets on the right bus..." I started to cry in front of her teacher Mrs. Bianca Lavey! She was
of course so understanding and made me feel great.
The bus company told me that there are six stops before Lauren and to expect her around 3:30 (school gets out at 3). 3:30 came and went and nothing. Immediately, 1,000 questions entered my mind. Why did I decide on the bus? The school is only three traffic lights away...was I being lazy? I'm going to change back to private pick-up. Then I calmed down enough to call the bus company. And ~10 min later, her bus swung around the circle and she got off. She said she wanted to take the bus again. She was WIPED out. She has to get used to the long day but all in all, an eventful day!
Of course I captured this on video. :-)
