The bus comes at the seemingly somewhat more reasonable hour of 7:10 for summer school this year, so James said he wanted to ride it (it was 6:50 during the regular school year so Sam would drop them off at school on his way into work). They were up and excited and ate breakfast this AM! Hopefully that continues!
The stop is a kind of far from the house, though, and then the bus drives right by our front door! I'm going to call (er, fill out the online form) and see if they'll pick them up at the closer cross-street or the door if they continue to be the only kids at the stop.
This is Leah's first time riding the big yellow bus & her first day at regular, full-day, big kid school!
Edited to add 2 updates: I did remember to take a picture of them at the end of the first day - they're only slightly frazzled! Eating a snack & reading books on the couch:
And also - James had a terrible attitude about summer school & we let him drop out after the first 3 days. There were 28 kids in his class! Many promises were made about the number of chores & activities he'd do at home instead. Leah's continuing on & having a good time, though. She informed me today that she had Trix cereal for "morning lunch" at school & so I deduced that she's been eating breakfast at home & then again when she gets to school - it's free still (due to COVID?) so I guess they don't ask too many questions & she somehow wound up in the cafeteria.
