The Wheels on the Bus

We've been really trying to drive as little as possible lately with gas prices, not to mention the environment. Josh decided that since we didn't have any plans today that he would take the Corolla to work (which means driving it to his carpool meeting point and leaving it there for the day). It's about 13 miles round trip but in the truck, that adds up to at least $4.00 a day just for that small distance. Anyway, he took the car. After he left I had the bright idea to take Megan swimming. We've been talking about taking her on the bus or on Max because of her interest in "choo choos", planes, and loves the song "The Wheels on the Bus". So I thought, the pool isn't too far, a perfect chance to practice the bus. We got packed up and walked to the bus stop down the street and waited for the bus. When it came, Megan was very intrigued. Then we got on and she was able to sit in her very own seat and look at all of the new people. So as I had been doing while we waited, I sang the "Wheels on the Bus" softly in her ear. She started to smile and roll her hands "round and round". Every once in awhile she would think about it and roll her hands at me and ask for more when the bus stopped. She was a really good girl and was a big girl on the bus!!

Here she is getting comfy in her seat.
