Lets get on the Bus.....

Harry had such a love/hate thing going on with catching the school bus. You couldn't get him on it and then you wouldn't see a happier kid once he got on. High fiving the bus driver and his friends the twins from down the rd. It helps that the bus drivers are the sweetest, always happy to see him and would stop right out the front of our house. Ok so it was the short bus, but he sat up the back (that makes it cool, right?) The short bus comes with seat belts which I thought was great for a school bus for preschoolers.

His afternoon bus driver was hilarious, the friendliest grandma like figure, always had time to stop and chat for a bit. On the last day Harry gave her a big hug, he really liked Gayle. She would show him how all the lights and buttons worked on the bus, even let him beep the horn once, made his day!

Bus stop traditions:

While waiting for the bus before school, Harry would always hide behind me, I think trying to trick the bus driver into not stopping or something?

He would always sit up the back in the same seat on the right, so he could wave good bye!

When getting off the bus he would launch himself from the top step and fly into my arms.

As the bus would pull away Harry would have to watch it go the length of the street until it was out of sight.

On the last day, Gayle beeped the horn all the way up the street and flashed the lights to say goodbye, she knows he always watched it leave, to sweetWe will miss our bus drivers but fingers crossed we will see them again for Thomas.
