Ray, Lindsay travels on the bus to school for 2 hours each day for a round trip to and from school. We only live 1/2 hour away but because of the bus run, he is the first on and last off. There is nothing we can do about it either, short of driving him ourselves.

At the start of the year, he would fall asleep on the way home and I would have to wake him up to get hom off the bus, but by the end of the first term, he wasn't doing that as often. It was hard at first, especially when kids in town have the luxury of an extra hour or so in bed before they have to get up for school, and he has to get up at 6.45 but he is coping fine.
