Boy was Mikey excited!!! He finally got to go to school just like his sisters do. This is definitely making him feel like a big boy. He has been having a "little guy" complex lately. I can not tell you how many times in the past couple of weeks I have heard "I NOT too little!!!" or "I big boy now, I not little!!!" And he is right... my little guy is growing up way too fast. Darn it. Anyway, he had a BLAST in class and can't wait to go again next week! He IS a big boy now!
On another topic, Maria had quite the adventure yesterday afternoon. She accidently got on the wrong bus after school. Here I am, waiting at the bus stop, the bus gets there, off get the other kids.... and no Maria. The bus driver calls me over and says she is back at the school in the office and I need to go pick her up. Somehow she got on the wrong bus. I immediately start thinking of the terror she must have felt when she realized her mistake. Just imagine it.. Looking around, realizing the bus isn't going the right way.. not recognizing any faces.. and panic. I am envisioning the worst, and I start to panic... well not panic exactly, just start getting really upset thinking my little girl is upset somewhere and I can't get to her. As it turns out she faired just fine. She realized her mistake as the bus was pulling away from the school. And she did start to cry a little. But she tells me "Mommy, I knew I had to stop crying so the bus driver could hear me OK so I stopped before I went to go tell him." She told the driver at the 3rd stop that she was on the wrong bus and then the plan of action to get her home made her feel better. Whew!! It's a good thing she is resilient. I am proud of her that she handled it so well... She did exactly the right thing. I myself know that if had been me at 6 years old I would have been a terrified, quivering little ball the whole time! I don't think she will be making that mistake again for a while!! (for My sake, not hers!)
