Bus Rider

Well, my duties as personal chauffeur are now complete. Monday on the way home from school, Ryan already started begging me to ride the bus.

He took the bus home yesterday for the first time and did great. Other than just before boarding when he was crying and begging NOT to ride the bus when some of the other kids lied and told him that the bus goes fast like a roller coaster. (Little demon delinquents...how DARE they scare my kid??? But it is kind of funny...) Then he said that as soon as he got ON the bus, the other kids reassured him that it goes slow and he was fine.

Then during breakfast this morning, he begged to ride the bus TO school. I'm not sure why, but I've always had the intention of driving him to school and eventually letting him ride the bus home. But now, he's officially a bus kid. And I have to say, I'm kind of loving it. The Kindergarteners are all assigned seats in the first few rows, so he'll be meeting other kids in our neighborhood that are his age...this is really going to be a sweet deal.

Check out my little sweeties walking to the bus stop this morning. Are they cute or what???
