Well, yesterday was my first day riding the school bus!  I'm going to ride it on Thursdays, but that may increase to Tuesdays & Wednesdays too.  Mommy says we'll see.  I was so excited and kept looking out the window on the front door!  Mommy was excited for me, but also a little nervous.  She took lots of pictures.  I even saw her at my school when I got there.  She had to take pictures of me getting off the bus there.  It's a long drive...in the morning the bus picks me up at 7:45 and we don't get to school until 8:20...that's 35 minutes! Then, in the afternoon, we leave school at 11:30 and don't get home until 12:10!  That's 40 minutes!  Yesterday I didn't get home until 12:25, so that was an even longer drive.  When I got home Mommy asked me if I liked it when she drove me to school or if I like riding the school bus.  I didn't want to hurt Mommy's feelings, but I had to be honest...so I told her the SCHOOL BUS!  She smiled and gave me a big hug, so I guess I didn't hurt her feelings.  She kept saying something about me growing up.  I don't know what that mean, I just know that, "Lily is small and I'm big."..."Lily is short and I'm tall." 

Mommy said she likes the fact that there is an assistant on the bus with the bus driver.  So, the assistant buckles me in my car seat (Yes!  They have car seats!) and she is also there to watch over us and make sure we're okay.  There are only 5 kids that ride me bus, so it's very small...but that's just the way I like it!  I can't wait until next Thursday so I can ride it again!
