Riding The School Bus
You know how much Thomas loves all things with wheels--well, one of his big beefs about being 4 is that he can't ride the school bus and Gracie can.
Well, today, he got his wish!
Each summer the local library has a back to school celebration, and they offer kids a chance to ride on a school bus. The idea is to get preschoolers and Kindergarteners use to the experience before the first morning comes around. It also helps the parents since they get to ride too.
I marked this down on the calendar last summer, excited to take him, and plumb forgot! Forgot!
Well, I wasn't going to let that happen again.
So, we went. And there were plenty of other activities like crafts and story time, and face painting and goody bags--but Thomas had a one track mind--and it was focused on something big and yellow.
Sadly, he was bummed that school bus just drove in circles around the library parking lot, but he was so excited to sit on that bus and ride around. So, excited, he rode twice!
Gracie was such a good sport, she's ridden on a bus since Kindergarten, but she sat and rode happily so Thomas could get his turn. She got her hand painted too--so she did get something out of the whole morning at the library.
PS: I am totally enjoying the moment and NOT thinking for a second that it really will be his turn on a bus next fall. So, don't bring it up!!!
