Yes we always hear that the "Drive Thru" is bad for you - well in this instance it is just short of making my entire world. As you know (from reading all of this) ADL has started pre-school at the Day School at our Parish. For these two weeks he has been going there for one hour stints to get comfortable with school and his class. Of course this was a logistical nightmare that only you Moms can fully appreciate - him, the baby, baby bag, backpack for school, jackets and on and on and on. Well this week we started the drive thru process of drop off and pick up. It is fantastic and all of my initial worries of ADL being freaked out by the "see ya drive by" were unfounded. Just like always he is calm and collected (where does he get it from?) and takes the hand of his teacher and walks in. It is the same thing in the afternoon as he comes smiling out from class to meet us.
One thing still to learn - there is a very distinct traffic pattern and process to all of this that we need to perfect. I get the feeling that many of these moms are experienced with the procedure and are being temporarily polite with their patience with me. Since even Father Andrew is out there directing traffic and getting Moms to move on. Oh and no telephone so please be patient if we get "disconnected."
Now next week when he actually gets to stay more then two hours Nino and I will be able to enjoy ourselves as well. Some Mommy and me bonding time and trips to the gym are on tap - stay tuned!
