Call me a nervous mother. I never thought I would be.....
I take off early from work; Craig won't be able to get the girls. On my way home I call my neighbor I want to see how her son is doing after surgery and see if she could get Faith off of the bus so I can kinda watch out for Sarah like I did this morning.
I go to Sarah's school; I know she can't leave until the buses have left. Only one has left and it's about 5 min until Faith will be getting off of the bus at our house, I leave to come back home to scoop Faith off of the bus and go look out for Sarah.
"Come on," I yell over the sound of the bus.
FAITH: Where are we going?
ME: To watch out for Sarah
FAITH: She's already here.
ME: What? looking around
FAITH: Look here she comes!
And there's Sarah, on her bike with a new confidence. It did my heart good.

Yeah, there's a fine balance to be found between allowing them to develop some independence and protecting them! Sounds like this was good for her!

It's scary that independence stuff, isn't it? But so liberating for them! :-)
