last minute mommies

So alex takes a bus every morning to school. The bus takes 45 minutes to get to his school, and he really doesn't like it. The place that the bus goes to pick the kids up is just used as the ONE bus stop for all the kids so it doesnt spend time driving around picking them up at separate places. We like to show up ten to twenty minutes before he is supposed to get on the bus or get picked up from the bus after school just so he never misses the bus and so we never miss him after school. We also like to wait the ten or twenty minutes after he gets on the bus in the morning until the bus leaves and drives passt the van so we can wave and blow lots of kisses! It's kind of funny to watch during those last twenty minutes of waiting because all these cars keep driving up in a rush and you see moms hurrying their kids and shooing them out of the car saying RUN! ( by the way we ALLWAYS walk alex to the bus door and give him hugs) the reason we give him all these special things is not only cuz we love him so much and will miss him all day but also because he would much rather be home playing with us than sit on a school bus for 45 minutes and go to school all day and ride back ... thats so HARD for a 6 yr old :( But anyways as i was saying, i think its funny that right up until right before the bus leaves there are cars racing up and either running their kid up to the bus door and shooing them through the door as quickly as possible with a quick goodbye or just saying come on hurry hurry! of course they love their children but think how much better their whole day could be if EVERY kid could spend time talking to their mommy in the car before they got on the bus and SROLLING up to the bus doors and getting a big hug and pep talk every day and a big hug from their little sis! and then to top it off catch all the kisses and sign i love you out the window. I know most moms are in a hurry to get to work and things but kids notice when you do something special. im not saying every mom needs to spend 40 minutes every morning just to blow kisses to their kids, but i think all moms should take just a little bit of time every day to so a little something special for their kids, they really do notice! even if its just quiet time with each child by themselves. it makes them feel special when they get their own time to spend with just you! At least thats how these kids are. its good for kids to get their own special separate attention. i think it makes them feel important :) haha well... there's some thoughts ... take em an run if you want
