Amongst the return to normality was my Muddy Puzzler's first day at preschool. We were dressed and organised early, I was going to take her in, but we pulled up at the bus stop for my Muddy Organiser and out she jumped backpack on 'I'm catching the bus Mum'. Now of course I was incredibly apprehensive about this, incredibly. I talked her through it all, changing buses and where the bus would stop before it got to preschool, including the fact that once they stopped at my Muddy Organiser's school, that she would be on the bus on her own and the bus driver would drive her straight to preschool where I would be waiting. 'Yes Mum I'm going on the bus' was her constant reply. On she jumped, not a problem in the world, happy as Larry until of course every other passenger got off the school bus, then the tears started and did not stop til she got off the bus at preschool where I was waiting.
So this week I am very grateful to the lovely bus drivers that drive my kids to school and safely home. To the bus driver who calmly talked to my Muddy Puzzler while she cried her little heart out. I am so very grateful that he has decided to change his bus route just for her and drop her off first before he does the other school drop offs so she won't cry again on him! Yes he is that lovely and I am so very appreciative of his kindness and care for my kids.
And rest assured my Muddy Puzzler was quickly calmed down and off to do craft within minutes of arriving at preschool, confidently telling the staff that she'll be catching the bus home!

ReplyDeleteMy goodness, she looks so much older in that pic... and by the sounds of it she thinks she's already grown up too! Poor little poppet, but the bus driver sounds like a sweetheart. Glad she had a good day once she got there, little cutie xoxo
