"I like to ride the school bus ecause (because) it has no seat belts, and it's fun."

Cael wanted to ride the bus from

day one, but his Mom felt otherwise.

I gave in on Friday of the first week of school

and let him ride the bus to school.

He was so excited.

He ran to the bus, cut in front of the other

two kids waiting to get on, and ran onto

the bus before we could even tell him goodbye.

Of course, we got in the car, followed the bus

to school, made sure he got off okay (see pictures),

and checked to see if he found his classroom.

Paranoid much?

No, just a first-time Mom with her

first and only child going to school

for the first time.
