So the school bus won't let kindergarten kids get off unless an older sibling or parent is there to walk them home. Since our oldest is in Kinder, I have to trek to the corner to get the boy every day. Since I can't see the stop from the house, it has been a big pain in the butt all year long, if the younger kid is napping.

Today little sister was wide awake, playing tea party with her dolls but I fell asleep in my comfy reading chair while I was waiting for the bus. Next thing I knew, J, my 6 year old was running in the house, screaming "Hey Dad! I walked myself home!"

Scared the bejebus out of me and woke me up, quick.
