The Placard System

So there is no bus in Reading.  Have to drop Pip off myself.  The upside is I get to see my love a bit longer each day.  I get to drop him off and know he is there safely.  I get to see some of his friends and talk with moms. 

The downside ... the placard system.  In its defense, it is a necessity.  There are not nearly enough parking spaces at the school.  Kids would literally be run over and parents would inevitably spiral into fits of rage without it.  But MAN is it slow!  Takes a half hour to get Pip.  Either I get there a half hour early and grab him first, or 15 minutes early and wait 15 minutes, or a half hour late and get him last when he's nice and dejected. 

Megan is also not a fan.  Infants don't like to be stuck in the car seat when the car is not moving. 

Here we are waiting one day:

Solution .. park the car nearby the school and walk.  Works like a charm.  We'll see what we do when winter kicks in.
