Carson Rides the BIG Bus

This isn't a great picture but I needed to document.  Thursday was Carson's first ride home on the big bus.  We talked with the bus driver to be sure that Dillon could sit with him.  The bus is incredibly loud considering it is completely full of Kindergarten, first and second graders.  He is the only preschooler on the bus coming home. He was SO excited as soon as Dillon sat down with him he was all smiles and laughs.  He was super excited to see me when it was time to get off the bus and wanted to tell me all about riding the big bus.  Dillon was so great with him!  He is more than willing to sit with Carson every time Carson rides home.  Kayda and Dillon are BOTH wonderful big siblings. 

Carson's First Bus Ride

Carson is incredibly shy.  He is getting much better but still has difficulty letting me leave him at preschool.  We decided the best thing to do is to start having him ride the bus to school in order to have a more clear cut separation.  He was SO excited!  He ran from the car to the bus got on and plopped down by his friend Nora.  There was no hesitation, no fear, no tiny hint of panic in his eyes.  He was just excited.  

 It's a really short ride to school.  He was still all smiles when he got there.

The next day I didn't follow the bus and he did great again!  I am so glad that he is starting to do well on his own.  I was really concerned about how he would do on the bus but it is wonderful!
