Rodney approached me on Tuesday slightly upset. He could not understand why I was not frustrated with the school bus stop still in our front yard. To put his fears aside, I decided to type a letter expressing our concern for the safety of the children and ourselves. I was very impressed by my ability to state what had happened last year while reframing from sound accusatory. Of course, as fate would have it, the internet went down and I was unable to print my letter.
Today I decided that a talk with all the parents would be the best way to start off the year. I was extremely nervous to approach parents and ask them to keep their child under control, but it went suprisingly well. Rodney and are praying that this year turns out okay and not horrifying like last year. Rodney and I have even gone to the extreme and purchased a lock for our fence to keep children out of our backyard.
