Riding the bus....

Today was Grace's 1st day riding the bus -- she was sooooo excited! It was so cute watching her:-) We talked before she rode the bus, just in case she didn't have anyone to sit w/. She said, "if you don't have anyone to sit w/ that would be sad...." I was more worried that she would want to sit w/ someone and they would say no:-( But not Gracie! But we still practiced, I told her when you get on the bus if there is someone you want to sit w/ you say, "Hi I'm Gracie, can I sit w/ you?"

When the bus driver pulled up, Matt and I were both outside waiting w/ her. The bus driver said, "Are you Gracie?" Grace said, "Yes! And I'm going to ride your bus today:-)" The driver said, "I'm Kristi. Nice to meet you Gracie." Grace then hugged her:-) It was too sweet!

Grace then walked down the aisle and found someone to sit w/. The driver, whispered, "she's so pretty!" And off they went.

I was outside waiting on her when the bus dropped her off. The stop is on the other side of the street so I crossed to get her. Grace jumped out of the bus hugging me - she had a great time on the bus. I had her cross the street so we weren't holding the bus up:-) And asked her about riding the bus.... she said, "I sat w/ my friend." I said, "really? who is your friend?" Grace said, "I don't know Mommy but she drives past our house every day!"

Leave to Grace to have a great day, make friends and not even know their name -- she's such a social butterfly!
