Going to School

While we were stationed at Fort Hood, Amy went to nursery school or preschool, kindergarten, and first grade.  We paid for her to go to preschool.  The lady who lived next door was a bus driver for the school.  So Amy rode back and forth with her.  I liked her being with someone I knew.  During kindergarten and first grade, she walked to the public school behind our house.  In the first grade, she walked by herself.  Nowadays, I wouldn’t let her do that.  But it was pretty safe back then.  She liked school when she was a kid.  Lee was never very crazy about school.  We didn’t send him to preschool because we felt that he wasn’t ready.  Below are photos of Amy on her way to school.
