A Fascination with School Buses!

We live in a neighborhood farily close to a school, so our kids don't need to ride a bus to get there every day. And the kids that go to the local junior high and high school get on around the corner and at the end of the next street, so we don't ever see those school buses either.

But, luckily for us, there is a boy across the street that goes to a special needs school, so there is a bus that comes by to pick him up and drop him off every school day.

Now why would that be lucky? Because we have a little boy in our house that LOVES buses! Every morning when I hear the bus round the corner, I try to let Tate know. He runs as fast as his little legs can go into the front room to see the bus. HE LOVES IT!

What's coming around the corner???


Why it's the bus!


He loves to stand and stare at it while they wait for their passenger.


And of course, we're all listening after school gets out for the bus to come back to drop off it's passenger across the street!


Nothing like a bus to watch and a sippy cup of milk to drink - does it get any better?


Not only do we love when the bus comes into our neighborhood, but whenever we are driving around town and see a school bus, Tate gets so excited. Zach and Hailey are constantly on the lookout for a school bus to point out and Tate can spot them from a mile away it seems!

I had forgotten all about this, but as we were going to the pumpkin patch back in October, we drove over a freeway overpass and what did we encounter? Why, a parking area for the local buses! You can imagine Tate's excitement!


We just had to pull into the adjoining parking lot to get a closer view of all those buses!


Tate could not take his eyes off of them.  It was so cute and we all loved watching his excitement!

 
Yes, we love buses at our house.  It's fun to watch the fascination that Tate has with them.  You just never know what little ones will love!
