The discussion has come up a few times since our son started school several weeks back. However, I never actually thought we’d follow through on it until our son asked about riding the big yellow bus a few days ago.

I want Future Bam to experience going to school on a bus like I did as a kid because it can be fun when your that age. However, getting up an hour early so that you can ride the bus less than 2 miles to school is not ideal. So we will see how that goes. And, of course, being the kind of worrier that I am I can think of all kinds of worst case scenarios about FB riding the bus. Go ahead and call me crazy.

I realize that I’m freaking out over something that some parents don’t think twice about.

For those of you that allow your children to ride the bus, do you call the school to make sure they arrived safely or are we just supposed to wait it out and hope that our child is there when we go to pick them up 7 hours later? I’m not sure I can do the latter without losing my mind.
