I'd be that annoying parent that calls their classroom every morning just to hear their voices...<br /><br />It's easier to just drive them.<br /><br />But, on the way home, they take the bus and, since there are two of them, I no longer wait at the corner.<br /><br />...

Knowing how secure and competent he is could almost be worth those 20 minutes of terror... <br /><br />When my oldest was in Kindergarten he fell asleep on the bus and the bus driver forgot about him. He was only missing for about half an hour and he was completely unfazed by the experience but I never let him ride the bus again. In retrospect that was probably a mistake. Boys need opportunities to be superheros.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17319951305724993484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-1949981667814727772009-05-20T07:19:25.598-07:002009-05-20T07:19:25.598-07:00Frightening but all ended well.
