1. I took this picture on a walk to pick Catie up from her school. If you remember from the fall, we had some bus drama. The main drama was that bus service to our neighborhood was cut. Apparently the school board felt it was more important to spend education dollars on teaching rather than picking up my child. I’m guessing no one on the school board has ever had to wake up a grumpy toddler, race to pick up two tired/transitioning-from-school Kindergarteners, and race them all a mile (round trip) to pick up another tired/transitioning child.
2. If you’re thinking that Elisabeth probably shouldn’t drink those two Tummy Ticklers while strapped into a stroller, you’re right. Especially if you know she has a bladder the size of a walnut. At the exact furthest point from our house, she started screaming she had to pee. Let’s just say I had some major stroller cleaning to do when we got home.
3. It is high-spirited fun for these two in the stroller (I mean, besides the peeing issue). Elisabeth brings books to read to Nate, and he screams that he doesn’t want to hear them. There is lots of hitting. And laughing. Elisabeth also sings a song about loving Jesus and hating the devil. My fave line is, “JEESSUSSS! YOU ARE GOODER THAN THE DEVIL!!”
4. Yes, Jesus, you are. Thanks for dying on the cross, Jesus. Easter weekend is gooder than any other.
Caden has bladder issues too. They are most apparent when we are on I-70, 1,000 miles away from the closest restroom, and his brother has just fallen asleep in the car seat next to him.
Caden only rides the bus home and is home by 4:00, and I’m thankful for that convenience. The routes here are so long that kids get on the bus at 6:50 or earlier for school at 8:00. It is insane.
Ha ha. I’ve so been there on I70, Rachel.
