ridin' on the bus

wednesday marked a momentous occasion in emmy's young life. i relented and allowed her to ride the bus. my little manipulator waited patiently for the moment mommy weak. maddie was making it very clear that she did not want to take emmy to school. so while i was arguing with a crabby two year old, emmy formulated a plan. she weaseled up to me. looked up with her big brown eyes and said, " you know mommy, i could just take the bus. just for today."

so off she went with a smile of triumph spread from cheek to cheek.

when i picked her up she said, "i think i'll ride the bus tomorrow."

i reminded her - "but you said 'just for today' emmy."

she responded, "yeah i've been thinking about that. i think i'll ride the bus tomorrow too."

so my little one flew the coop on the wings of a big yellow bus.
