Alex gets to be the Star of the Week this week at daycare. His teacher was very sympathetic to the not getting on the bus thing, so she thought if he was the Star of the Week it would be a good distraction. Part of being the Star is filling out a big poster about yourself. He dictated his answers for me and I wrote as fast and I legibly could. Not shockingly, he came up with more favorite foods than there were lines to fill out in that section. And then there was the "Favorite Things About Myself" section. His first answer? "My feet." And that was quickly followed by his dune car and that he's funny.
On the way to daycare yesterday I asked if he remembered about the bus. In a very matter of fact tone, he let me know that he remembered and he will get to ride the bus once we move. He is being more understanding than I could have ever expected or requested of a 4 year old. When I told him I was really sorry that he didn't get to ride the bus, he just said, "It's ok Mom...but...can you find someone to buy our house at zip speed?"
You heard the boy people! Get on it! We need the house sold like yesterday!
My heart just can't take seeing the disappointment in his eyes every time I have to tell him I haven't found anyone yet.
