First day on the school bus

This morning, the school bus picked up Ariel for the first time.  The weather was sunny and cool.  We took her travel car seat and backpack, and waited across the street in our neighbor's yard.

We've been reading a couple of books about school buses.  When it stopped for her, she looked a bit surprised and climbed right on by herself and sat down.  Her bus driver's name is Sandra, and a "grandpa-type" man installed her car seat, and buckled her in.  Ariel still looked surprised, but not upset.  Then she was off to pick up the next rider, her friend Charley up the street.

Sandra, the bus driver (I guess I should call her "Ms. Sandra") called us a few nights before to tell us about the bus procedures, the route, and who the other riders are (all preschool students.)  I think she will have fun with the bus.  I hear that the preschoolers love it.
