On Her Own

Other than Wednesdays where we would pick Lil Shauna straight from school, Daddy Lim or I have to be home by 7.10pm each weekday to pick Lil Shauna from the school bus. Sometimes, it would be a bad rush, arriving at the pick up point minutes before she does.

It doesn't help that the bus arrives early at times and the bus driver doesn't care if the parent or guardian is here for the child, driving off the moment the last kid steps off. The parent/ maid of the other kids have been super nice, helping me to watch over Lil Shauna on 2 occasions that I was a minute behind the bus.

The pick up point is actually 1 block away from our house and there is a nice walk path leading to our block. I am quite sure she can handle that little walk in the event that we really couldn't make it. She too is confident of doing so.

Yday, she happily accepted to walk home on her own while I followed from a distance. She even took the lift herself while I boarded the next.

There was nothing exciting about it - that walk is that short and safe. The next time we really couldn't make it on time, I am quite sure she can make her way home safely.
