Instead of walking her into school, we line up with everyone else out front and wait our turn for a teacher to come get her from the car and bring her inside.
Why does she like it so much? Well, her carseat is on the driver's side of the car, but the curb is on the passenger side. So, in order to expedite things (and against every fiber of my being), she has to be unbuckled from her seat and ready to get out on the passenger side. She could duck under Cate's seat, but that's more hassle than it's worth, so, instead, she climbs into the front with me.
There are three funny things about this.
1) She faced backwards for so long (until just after her 4th birthday) that she calls the front seat the back. She's all confused.
2) She is fascinated by the sensor in the seat that makes the seatbelt light go on for the passenger seat. She is heavy enough to trigger it and just loves the little red light with the seat belt picture.
3) In order to make the sensor happy, she MUST put on the seatbelt in the front seat while we wait. To be honest, it makes me feel a little better about her being out of her seat should the people behind us not pay attention and gun it into us, but mostly, it just makes me laugh at how grown-up she thinks she is, not only to be in the front seat, but to use the seatbelt instead of the harness of her carseat.
And her cherry sunglasses are awesome.
