Worst Day Ever

Parker had his first bad experience at school yesterday, on the first day of course! Well I guess the bad experience happened after school. I went to his bus stop to pick him up, I was all excited to greet him as he walked off the bus, camera in hand ready to shoot a few pictures. When I walked up to the bus doors the driver asked me what kids was mine, I said, "Parker" she looked at all the kids and said, "I don't have a Parker." MY first thought was, "Oh great, he is going to be so scared, I told him nothing would happen!" So I waited while the driver tried to track him down. She had just heard over the radio that another driver had an extra kid on her bus. So the driver, Theresa was her name, asked if the boy happened to be a Parker. Yes it was!! Yay at least he was still on a bus somewhere. I ran home called the transportation department and made arrangements for them to drop him off. They called me back when the bus was close and I went to the corner to meet him. As he got off the bus I tried to have a positive attitude so I wouldn't upset him. I told him that he got an extra long bus ride. Well he was already upset and said that he didn't want to ride the bus that long. He had the saddest look on his face and said he had "The Worst Day Ever" It took me a while to talk him down and to convince him that it wouldn't happen again. (Let's hope it doesn't!) I guess what happened was that he got on the right bus at the kindergarten, then had to switch busses at one of the schools after they picked up the grade school kids. He said that someone told him to get on that bus. So hoepefully today they have things straightened out and my little boy won't get lost again. What an eventful first day. I was just grateful that they kept track of him and didn't let him off the bus somewhere and then he really would have been lost!! I am sending him to school with a note on his shirt with the bus route info, it can't hurt to help them out!
