After 1 week and a half of waiting, calling back and forth Ms. Lisa (Santa Ana school district transportation coordinator ), teacher Mr. Casteneda, and the Transportation department, finally we got a call from the Santa Ana school district transportation on Tuesday, saying that they’d pick up William in the morning at 6:55 AM and drop him off at 1:15 PM, starting tomorrow (Wednesday).
I was worried that he could not wake up that early but this morning when I woke him up around 6:20 AM, and I mentioned the school bus, he just jumped out of the bed! He brushed teeth without me asking so many times like usual. Then he had a little bit time left to eat cereal and milk before the bus came.
We saw the bus coming toward to our house, he ran around to the front yard, looking so excitedly. When the bus driver opened the door, he got in so fast and looked for the seat in the middle of the bus. The bus driver made sure he had seat belt on and then took his backpack to the front. I asked if it’s ok for him to hold on to his backpack because there’s tissue box in there; he has allergy and might need it. She said “OK, thanks for letting me know” and she gave him the backpack back.
I waved as the bus leaving, but he was looking at the window on the other side.
7:30 A.M, I drove to school just to see how he behaved when get off the bus. Just before 8:00 AM, I saw his teacher Vanessa was holding his hand and heading toward the school gate. He looked fine. Call me crazy mom but I guess I’m worried too much. He’s a smart boy, and he does not need his mom to hold his hands to go to school anymore.
