I was on my way home this morning after dropping Andy off at school and I was thinking about that part of our day a bit. He is capable of going on his own and has a few times. The norm however is that I walk him to school and help him get situated in class. We don't see a ton of other parents bringing their kids to class, there is one other lady that I see regularly but other then her it is usually just the kids.
Anyhow I was walking home and thinking about that time and wondered if Andy would ever grow out of it or if we would be doing the same thing in first grade. Sure it would be nice not to have to make that trip every morning and I don't want to hurt his development and growth by being there with him everyday. At the same time however, does it really matter? I really don't mind the walk. We get to have a little one on one time and talk about, well, stuff. With the Andyman it is usually pretty random and that is okay. I think it is something he enjoys and a chance for us to hang out - I don't consider him sneaking into my be every night hanging out.
As I walked home I came to the conclusion that I will happily walk Andy to school for as long as he needs me to. This is a special time for him and I get to be a part of it. Our daily walk is a wonderful little thing.
