The Wheels on the Bus

Kai has been begging me to let him ride the bus. I'm not sure if it is the bus or the fact that you get a wristband if you are rider that is most motivating for him. I always rode the bus growing up. I had 2 reasons for just taking and picking him up myself.

1) If he rides it in the morning he doesn't get time to play on the playground and since they don't get a recess I think this is important.

2) It takes me just as long to walk to the bus stop as it does to drive to the school. Anyway, we've made a deal. I get to take him in the mornings and he gets to ride the bus home in the afternoons. When asked how school was this week he replies: "Good- I got to ride the bus!" He said they sang "wheels on the bus" on the way home on Friday. The other perk to just riding home is it is only kindergartners on the bus.

So for now we are both happy with the compromise. We'll see what we both think in another month or so. :)
