Because of Luke's special needs, taking the bus to and from school has been available to him since he started school last spring. I could not even fathom putting my sweet baby boy on a bus all by himself then but as he's gotten older and is craving more independence (not to mention he loves watching the buses come and go at school) Matt and I finally decided it was time. So Luke now takes the bus to school all three days he goes, getting on at 7:13am on the corner by our house (I walk him) and then home again two of those days.
I made sure to get a few pictures the morning of Day 1. Zero tears and lots of smiles. And no problems so far either going or coming home!

He's stoked and ready to go!
Such a big boy with his backback.
Still breaks my heart every time he rides away. But it's good for him and he likes it! That's my mantra as I walk back up the street...
