Katie rode the bus by herself for the first time today!! How exciting. She is going to be riding the bus home from school each day now. What a huge step for her -- and how exciting for Bill and I to start to see her gain some new independence. There are 3 or 4 other students from her class that ride the "special" bus home at lunch-time, too. We aren't putting her on the bus in the am because she would have to be on the bus at 7:25 am - and school doesn't start until 8:30. She's only 3 and an hour on the bus is a little much in my opinion, but the ride home is quick - only 10 minutes.
She also shook her head "no" twice in direct response to my mom today -- and I was there to see her do it! That was a first for her as well. What a great "Katie-day" this has been.
I have today and tomorrow off! That, too, is exciting, but I do have to work the weekend. I'll take it -- Bill is still on lay-off, so it's nice to have the time off with he and the girls.
Not much else going on except that Bill is off racing cars tonight, Katie has been asleep since 4 in the afternoon and I desperately need to get at this messy house!

I don't understand why bus rides have to be like that. Growing up the bus ride to school was 30 minutes (but that's how long it took to get to town anyway) and the bus ride home took a hour and a half! Even as a teenager it was hard on me. I think you're right to keep your little on off the bus in the mornings. Congrats on the independance of the bus ride home!
