We tried to let him practice taking the bus yesterday but he ended up at subway station stop since he missed his school bus stop. Since me and SIL were in the area, he went home with us by car.
This morning, we decided to give him a ride to school but he has to take the bus on his way home. We woke up at around 8, I went downstairs at 8:45 to warm up the car and he hopped in around past 9. we barely got 10 minutes to get to school. Traffic was light so we made it like 2-3 minutes before 9:20, the time he's supposed to be there. Why? He had to do a last minute bathroom stop! Btw, there was another boy getting off a car just after I drove off.
Then I started back home. Somewhere on the way, I felt my phone vibrate but cant take it coz I was driving. when i finally got a chance to pull over, a missed call from my son and called him back. He forgot that cracky indoor shoes/slippers!
too late to turn back and I am not buying him a new one. He has to learn something!
I debated on turning around and buying one at the nearby convenience store but ultimately decided against it. Mommy-rescue syndrome, will cost me about 3-5K maybe, and a bit complicated finding him and probably messing up the testing logistics like disrupting them.
On the other hand, his feet might be cold, which might affect his test. His first impression at school might also go awry as the kid who came without indoor shoes. A bit negative but there's bound to be something good at the other side of it all. Hopefully, he'll learn not to forget those indoor stuff next time and double check his stuff.
I was helping him prep his stuff last night when he insisted on using his giant school bag to pack everything! I left him alone to do his thing. He could have listened to me to bring all his stuff in a paper bag and it will be easy to double check. He says it doesn't matter if he use the big bag. There you go!
Let's see how the rest if the day turns out!
