And Then...

Potatey climbed on the bus too this morning. Little hesitant getting on board, but then a big smile broke out and the excitement of the new adventure took over. Salamander was nice enough to be willing to sit in the front of the bus with his little brother for a few days, until Potatey is completely comfortable. Which really is a HUGE thing, that Salamander can give up on what he really wants (sitting with his OWN class mates in the back of the bus), to put somebody else's needs before his own.

I'll be completely honest.. I'm a bit lost right now... It's weird to be *childless* at 8.25 am
(the plus side? I have just gained a full hour in my day....And for the first time in a long long time I will actually have time to PREPARE for a work conference call at 10 am as opposed to *winging it*).

10.30 am update. One of my neighbors just called to give me a quick update on Potatey. She has twins Potatey's age and is driving them to school. She and the twins got there at the same time as Potatey's bus pulled up to school. Apparently Potatey had a huge grin on his face looking around happily and tapping on the window and waving like a maniac to everybody he recognized. And once the kids got permission to get off the bus, he bounced down the stairs and happily skipped into the school building. So glad to hear this. I KNEW that Potatey was going to do just fine, but it's nice to hear it confirmed.

Back to work...
