First Day of School

Maya survived the first day of Fourth Grade. One exciteing new twist this year is that she is able to take the bus to school - which she is opting to do in lieu of the private chauffeur service she's utilized over the previous four years. Unfortunately, we were at the bus stop this morning and the bus drove right past us and didn't stop! So we drove to school just like the good ol' days. The bus did manage to drop her off at the right spot in the afternoon so hopefully we'll get this worked out. I called the school and they are going to look into the problem. I also mentioned this to our neighbor Cathleen (who is a teacher in the Saint Paul school system) last night and she said that bus drivers around here are usually not the sharpest tools in the shed.
