8/26/08 First Day of School for Bryan
The whole fam got in the car and drove to drop him off...the line was forever, so i jumped out of the car with Bryan and escorted him into school (after) the tardy bell rang! He rode the bus home later and everything went great...he really enjoyed his first day!!
8/27/08
Second Day of School (Torrential Downpour/Tornado watches/craziness)
I can't BELIEVE the craziness of this day! After the morning drop-off
> problems I faced yesterday, I was determined to get in the "front" of the car
> line today, so we left at 7:10 and we were the 8th car in line so I was so
> happy about that! But, I drove up and let Bryan out of the car and he walked
> to the school, but looked back like "where am i going and what am i doing?"
> My heart just sank b/c I couldn't jump out and take him to his class and I
> started driving away and wondering if he would find his way?! I didn't think
> he would, so I started praying that God would help him figure it out and
> someone would direct him where to go.
> I got home and told Joel and Joel told me to call the school. I did and Mrs.
> Sims said he was there! whew! I just imagined him walking in and then
> turning around and walking back out of the school; possibly getting run over
> by a car.
>
> He mentioned to me this evening that whole incident and told me that he was
> walking down the hall looking around and 2 ladies came up and asked who his
> teacher was and he told them Mrs. Sims and they said, "come sit on this black
> line". Bryan told me that he wanted me to walk him in tomorrow! So, I just
> emailed Mrs. Sims to figure out the details of the morning routine.
>
> Well, you're smart for finding the New Garden school parking on the first day!
> I saw it looked empty, but I thought the traffic flow would go rather
> quickly...NOT!
>
> So, this afternoon, Joel and I were waiting at the bus stop at 2:35 and a car
> pulls up and a man tells us that the buses are "grounded" due to weather.
> So, I call the school *(2nd time today)* and they said I could come pick him
> up. So, we jumped in the car and got Bryan home safe and sound. I can't
> believe they finally released the buses at 3:45 today! He wouldn't have
> gotten home until 4:25 or so?!
The pitiful thing is that Bryan was pouting when we picked him up b/c he wanted to ride the bus home again!!!! What we do for our kids...and what thanks we get :) haha
