DS is 4 years old, 36 lbs. He currently rides the school bus every day for 2 1/2 blocks each way to and from school. I am not 100% comfortable with this, since he is too little for the compartmentalization to help out, but there is no other way to get him to and from school since I work and he is too young to walk it by himself. I have resigned myself to it since it is only a short distance, never going over 15-20 mph.
However, now I have an issue. They are going to be doing a field trip to a bigger city about 1 1/2 hours away for a performance, which means highway driving. I thought about driving him, but practically I don't know that I can make it work. I need my vacation time for maternity leave and would have to buy my own ticket (not a big deal, except that I am hearing that they may already be sold out). DH can't take him as he has no vacation time at all (and thinks I am being silly worrying about it).
I guess I am just looking for reassurance that it will be okay if I let him go. Or tell me I shouldn't even consider letting him go, unless I can drive him. GAH - some days I almost think it would be better to NOT know about this stuff
