At least she is still walking towards home…

…instead of walking away.

I let Em start walking home from school on her own this week. I know it is only across the street (well, actually – two streets – I make her walk up to the crossing guard and then back down the block!) but it is kinda a big step for us all. I wait out on our corner for her and her first words were, “I feel so grown up now that I walk home by myself.”

sigh.
