Riding the Yellow Bus

Will got to ride the school bus home today for the very first time. He was so excited since he had been asking to since day 2 of school and Mommy and Daddy weren't quite ready to let him.
But yesterday, I had just had it with waking Eli up from his nap to go sit in a carpool line to pick up Bubba. E has been a grump every afternoon that I have to do that and plus, I've never believed in waking a sleeping baby!
So yesterday afternoon, I wrote a little note for Mrs. R, letting her know that we were switching to the BUS and what # he was to ride.
I was waiting for him on the front sidewalk (with my camera) and he got off with a big smile on his face. After I made him stand still and take a picture in front of the bus, he ran inside. Was he embarrassed that his Mommy just took a picture of him in front of all the kids left on the bus?
E slept for an hour and a half after Will got home. I'm so glad I didn't have to interrupt him today!
I think I may really appreciate this bus thing.. just hope Will continues to as well.
