Riding the School Bus 11-07


Well, now that Evan is in his special ed preschool he is eligible to ride the bus to school. I was very nervous about this because of the restraint system. He is strapped in a 5 pt harness in the morning but the afternoon bus does not always have this so he is in a vest system. I still might have him ride in his wheelchair but we will see how it goes. He is so excited to ride the bus and I imagine he thinks he is a big boy getting to ride with the other kids. Mommy on the other hand cried the first day. I guess it is the whole label the "short bus" gets and what it was called when I was younger, it could be the fact that he is in special education that makes it hard and the fact that he has only been in school two weeks and I am already having to fight to make sure he is getting the services he needs. Oh, well that is the life with the school district and having a special needs child. But all in all Evan is loving school and having a great time. He is even taking naps a couple days a week.
