I actually leave home at 5 past three and get a better parking spot because most of the cars have left.

Wren enjoys the independence of standing outside the gate and chatting with friends and the teacher.
~ I'm no longer allowed inside the school to get her, she told me in Feb, although this will change when Mr Bump starts Kindy next year. Aren't I lucky?

LOL @ Tracey!
No, it's not you. I actually know the woman and her kids aren't little. She doesn't even move far from her car! The other day I saw her get a camping chair out of her boot so she had something to sit on while she waiting...lol

Are you sure this lady isn't me???

LOL.

I get there between 2.15 and 2.20 to get the spot closest to the gate to DS1's class. I only do it because we've had so much rain here and I have to drag baby and DS2(on the 3 days that he isn't at kindy) with me. When it's raining heavy, I don't want to try and juggle the pram, so that's why I go early for that spot(baby is so heavy that I don't want to have to walk too far!). It's different in summer, I could care less how far away from the school I park!

PS. The blog has moved :)

It's crazy isn't it how early some parents get to school. Personally I think on the most part it's laziness - they want to get the closest spot. When I drive I get one of the furthest spots and it still only takes me probably a whole 5 minutes max. to walk to the gate. Normally I ride or walk and leave around 20mins before bell time - it takes 10-15 to ride/walk. If I'm driving I leave 15mins before.
