Today is John’s last day of first grade. This morning I took some pictures of him on the front porch and then we headed to the bus stop. Gillian took off running and John followed. I’m not sure what happened next but John ended up on the sidewalk screaming “Gill you can’t do that!” I went over to inspect. He scrapped his knees and his palm. I ran in the house got some wipes and band aids. I cleaned him up. He kept saying “Gill this is why we don’t run.” Then Gillian burst into tears. “It was an accident!” We waited at the bus stop for the bus. I asked John “Did the bus come when you were waiting outside?” He first said “No.” Then after waiting 30 seconds he says “Maybe it did. Maybe you should drive me.” The bus was running a little late but it did arrive. John got on the bus for the last time as a first grader!
