picking up amos

last week amos was at the MFA school, participating in an art class. naomi and i dropped him off at nine and picked him up at 12noon. it was many times we walked up green street, hopping onto bus 39 and back. naomi often took a book along which turned out to be a great idea. one time we had to get off the bus half way, there was an evacuation, because of some kind of hazardous material on the street.... it turned out to be a nice 25 minute walk to the museum on the shady side of the street. we never really figured out what the hazardous thing was, just enjoyed to wave to all the firefighters and polic men. i'm once more glad we do not have to do that drop off - pick up life all school year long.... instead enojoy a good long breakfast and do lessons right after that in and around our house. we still get to walk up and down the street, ride public transportation and meet other kids in different kinds of settings, like geography club, or orchestra.
