It's that time again!



Home from school each day,
Another one rides the bus.
Such a big girl now.


OK, it isn't as bad as the Weird Al song, but Cordy is now taking the bus home from preschool each day. I still take her to school, but having her take the bus one way gives me a lot more time in my day.

I was extremely nervous about it at first, but the bus only has kids from her class, and there is an aide on the bus along with the driver. Now if only she'd get over her excitement and take a nap on the ride home...


To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:

1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What's a haiku, you ask? Click here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your generic blog URL). We will delete your link if it doesn't go to a haiku. If you need help with this, contact Jennifer or myself.

3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button above.

So flex those mental muscles and join Jennifer and I for Haiku Fridays!

    My daughter rides the bus this year for K. I was extremely nervous at first, but she loves it and its just Kindergarteners on the bus and the driver is great.

    Since I home school I will never know how letting them bus it would feel.. But, I'm sure it pulls at your heart strings!

    When they start taking the bus, it's like they've entered another world!

    Of course, when I TRY to post two linkies, it doesn't work. When I do it on accident, it does. Sorry bout that.

    I cannot imagine putting my little boy on a bus! Poor mommy!

    I've never heard of having a bus from preschool. I know I would have loved doing that as a kid. I'm sure my mother would have loved it as well, once the nerves settled.

    There's just something about a bus ride. Kids are just so excited by buses!

    I hear the bus is the coolest when you are that age...

    I'm not all too crazy 'bout it.

    I'm going to have to do this one of these days. But then all the ones I see are always so clever. Mine would be a haiku about dryer lint or something.
