We would've struggled with that. Gareth...7:45?! We would've struggled with that. Gareth's school doesn't start until 9:35. Of course, next year I'll have to have him and Malcolm at the sitter's by 7:30, so I guess I'll get a taste of what you're going through, for a few weeks anyway! Good luck to you guys! It's sometimes discouraging to no longer have as much control of their environment/filtering the damaging socio-cultural messages they receive, but it's really fun to watch how much they grow during the year.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10636146366627166656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516488777599629236.post-7859544635377889612013-06-24T12:24:24.374-07:002013-06-24T12:24:24.374-07:00Ooh, boy, I have so many mixed emotions about my l...Ooh, boy, I have so many mixed emotions about my looming experience with sending Hallie this fall! It was interesting to read what your experience was like, and I wonder in which areas mine will be the same. I do know that we cannot walk, her school is 3 miles away and we'd have to cross and then walk along extremely busy streets (because they are the main exit from i-80). The only other route is almost 4 miles. We have to be there by 7:45. So, that's not going to happen. I wish we could walk, it sounds like such a nice time with your kids. I do have friends that have already discussed swapping babysitting with me so we can each spend at least one day a week in our child's classroom, and I am really looking forward to that. With my background in el ed, this is very exciting to me. I hope first grade goes well for you, and wish us luck in kindergarten!!Amy Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240262331193821446noreply@blogger.com
