Well, she had a great day at school. We woke early this morning to take Bryan into work, then returned to bed for an hour. After a second breakfast she got all dressed and put on her backpack. We walked downstairs and waited for the bus; sure enough it came right at 9am! A school worker hopped out and opened her arms to grab Zoe and said “Nickola” all happily. It was funny; she then hustled Zoe into a seat as the door shut and the van wisked off. It took less than 30 seconds, so I don’t think Zoe knew what hit her. She is the last stop before school, so she has a super-short bus ride. I then picked her up at 1230 and she was having a great time in her classroom doing storytime. A lot of the other kids were off to nap, but the newbies were in storytime waiting for their early pickup. It’s supposed to help them adjust to school by only doing 3 hours for the first week and 5 for the second weeks before they actually stay all day and come home on the bus. I don’t think Zoe will ever have a reason to stay all day, but if she does she’s the first bus stop on the way home…no long bus ride. What service!
