Lifes Like That

This morning for the first time in seven years I did not drive my kids to the bus stop. My husband and I felt that our daughter should start having more responsibilities so we allowed her to walk her brother to his bus stop this morning. Then she came home, got ready for school and walked herself to the bus stop. This was really weird for me. But she is almost at the age where by law she can babysit her brother, so we decided to test her out and see how she does with this little bit of responsibility. She did very well so I guess from now on I will not be driving them to the bus stop but will let them head out on their own.
