the bus: take two

I forgot to mention yesterday that Reed's teacher tried contacting my cell phone(which was at home), Colby's cell phone(he was out of town), and even our emergency contact(who did not answer either). Good thing there really wasn't an emergency:). So today I called the bus barn and asked if it was okay for my son to ride the bus, I wasn't sure how else to word it since it was ridiculous that he couldn't get on yesterday. The lady on the other end of the phone giggled and thought it was strange behavior from the bus driver also. Anyway, after clearing it with them, we got the go ahead. I called Reed's school to let them know he could now ride the bus. We met him at the bus stop and it went flawlessly today! Hooray! While waiting, we even met another boy on Reed's t-ball team that just lives one street over from us. He was hilarious! He told me that his mom had to buy his dad a car that was really expensive, like five dollars or something (his words not mine). He was singing like a canary. I think this bus stop is sorta like a barbershop, I will learn a lot about our neighborhood...maybe even more than I would care to know.
