Simple Joys: Bus Rides

 One of Teddy’s favorite things in the whole wide world is busses. (Other favorite things include tractors and water slides.) Earlier this year he won a free bus ride pass, which might seem like an odd prize for a 9-year-old like Teddy, but it was a great opportunity for a fun adventure this summer. His sitter took him to the bus station, and they simply picked a bus to ride for the entire route. He was so excited to actually get to ride the bus. I say that because he’s excited to simply see a bus and watch them at the bus station.

Teddy invited (directed) Sigrid where to sit.

They rode the entire route, and then they switched buses for another loop. Although Teddy is usually a constant bundle of energy and motion, he was content to stay in his seat the entire ride. He did check out other seats when the bus stopped, but he always went back to “his” seat for the ride.

They both had a great time exploring together!

It was such a simple, fun adventure that he got a bus pass for his birthday. His grandma has already taken him on several rides, and he is just as excited each time. He doesn’t need a destination, just to ride a bus.

Teddy was in his happy place.
