Anna rode the bus home this afternoon. She's been begging to be a bus rider since kindergarten started. I wasn't quite sure how I felt about my 5yr old riding the bus. It kinda made me unsure. I didn't let Paul start riding the bus home until he was in the 1st grade. Even then I was a bit nervous.
I sat on the front porch, reading, while I waited for her bus to pull up. In the end, Anna got home earlier riding the bus than when I pick her up
Me -"How was your first bus ride?" (expecting that she had a great time.
Anna - (with disgust on her face) "It was TERRIBLE. The bus was full of boys and they wouldn't stop talking about pee-pee and poo-poo and butts."
It was all I could do not to laugh.
My son was probably one of the kids talking about pee-pee and poo-poo and butts. That seems to be the preferred topic, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteI was hesitant to let him ride, too, but he was adamant. It's been okay. He's learned some things from the other boys on the bus that I kind of wish he hadn't.
