I'm Old Now.

Today was Alex's first day of summer school (which he actually WANTED to sign up for). The city of St. Louis has provided the transportation, so I sent him off for his very first school bus ride. He was excited; I was a nervous wreck! And when the bus drops him off this afternoon, I'll still be at work, so he'll be walking the 2 blocks home, and letting himself inside. AGHH!!!!! He's a smart kid, and he clearly understands the rules, but as a mommy, I can't help but feel nervous. He'll be here by himself for an hour at the most, but just knowing that my baby is now a little boy who is semi-independent is weird. And it makes me feel very very old. :(
