The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round

When Wyatt turned three years old and started going to “big boy” preschool, they informed us that a bus service was available to pick him up in the morning and bring him from school to daycare in the afternoons.  I quickly said, “No, that’s ok.  I’ll bring him in the morning, and on my lunch break, I’ll come get him and bring him over to daycare. No problem.”  After all, what sane parent lets their three year old ride a bus? Apparently, we do.

Although I still bring him to school in the morning – it’s right on my way to work, Wyatt rides the bus to daycare around lunchtime three days a week.  During his first week or so of school, Chris or I diligently went everyday to pick him up at 11:15 am.  Everyday, one lucky parent drug him out past the school buses, kicking and screaming, watching all of his friends get on the bus.  I thought, why the heck not…let him ride the bus.

Seriously, this is the highlight of Wyatt’s day.  They must sing songs on the bus, because now I know every verse to “The Wheels on the Bus…”  Wyatt insists I sing it, and make up new verses each morning.  Our “bus” (aka: my Trailblazer) has turtles, goats, pigs, stop lights and kites on it – and much, much more.  Today Wyatt had his end of the year school program.  Chris and I went, and were able to see him get on the “number 24″ bus today.  Of course, I toted my camera along for the day. (Duh, what parent wouldn’t want a picture of their kid getting on their first school bus?)

And for those of you out there who are thinking it, (I know you are) I did watch them buckle him in. They do have seat belts on the “number 24″ bus.  Next week he’ll be getting his driver’s license. Stay tuned.
