Too purty to live in town.....

5/15/07

Today was a big step for Joe....he rode the bus home for the first time! I met him at the house just to make sure that it wasn't too traumatic for him. Changes are hard on him. He did well, only complaint was the teenagers' cussing. He'll be riding the bus home 2 days a week for the rest of the school year. He can't go to afterschool anymore because the donkey hasn't paid the bill. No big surprise there.

If this works well, come fall it could be expanded to 5 days a week if/when I take the donkey back to court. It's time Joe be given more responsibilities and learn to be more independant anyway, so it's all good. My mother's heart is having a bit of a struggle with it, but it's all a part of loving and learning to let go little by little.
