Always when she is ready

Ever since she was a baby Ally has met all development milestones on her own schedule. In her own time, when she was ready and not a day or minute before she was ready. Crawling, eating, talking, walking, new skills at gymnastics, sleep overs, riding a bike. Everything. Well walking home from school without a parent was no different.

We have been talking about it all Fall and I finally asked her if she’d like to do it and she said yes and we agreed to do it the first Monday after winter break. Mondays are the only day Ally comes homes after school. Every other day it’s practice or an appointment. 

We invited her friend Cata to walk home with her and I met them at home. But it was a success.

And some silly selfies she took with my phone later that night:
