Bad Mom or Independent Kid??

Last night wasn't too bad considering how sick all the kids are. Zach woke up around midnight I think & Phil brought him in by me & then he just stayed in bed & slept with us until about 2 or 3 I think it was. He woke up & I got him up & fed him on the couch. Then I put him back in his crib & went to bed. Next time I heard him I looked at the clock & it as 7:03....oh SHOOT I said to Phil. Looks like you are gonna have to take Nick to school. He leaves for the bus at 7:02. I looked up the steps & saw Nick's door was shut so figured he was still sleeping & decided to let him sleep in.

So I head upstairs to get Zach & go to the living room & see Nick's backpack is gone. I guess he got up this morning, got dressed & headed to the bus on his own!! I sat down & saw the bus drive by so I must have just missed him by a few minutes.

I have no idea if he ate any breakfast or brushed his teeth or anything.

So you decide, bad mom?? Or do I just have a really independent 1st grader?!??!

I will have to remind him though to wake me up if I'm not up there when it's time to go!!
