Buggie is well in to her Pre-K year and one thing is for sure she adores her bus driver (we’ll just call her “Miss J”)! There is no doubting the special bond they have created. Just this week alone there are three cute things that has happened between them.

One day Buggie brought her a party hat from her baby sister’s party. Without missing a beat “Miss J” put that hat on and happily waved and they were off to school.

On another day when “Miss J” dropped her off she pointed out that she had wore her husband’s super hero shirt just for Buggie! Needless to say Buggie thought that was the bees knees and beamed from ear to ear when she came off of that bus that day.

Then today Buggie informed us that while “Miss J” gives all of the kiddos stickers daily as they get off of the bus, “Miss J” has a binder full of stickers, but one page is super heroes just for Buggie!

I can still remember my bus driver growing up. I had the same one from elementary school until I moved “up da road” in high school. Mr. Miller, this sweet little old man with a long red beard that always wore a bandana on his head. He was a sweet ole fella with a great big smile and all of the kids loved him. Even after I became a mom, if we would bump into him and his wife at a local fair I was always happy to see him. That is the relationship she has with “Miss J”. Last week we ran into her at the bank. And let me tell you, that child happily held a conversation with her in the drive through for a few minutes. But she had to tell her she should have drove her bus to the bank and yelled “I love you! See you tomorrow!” As we drove away.

This sweet lady even has a picture taped up in her bus of the two of them from Christmas when she brought her kiddos to visit Santa with us a few door down from our home. They happily sat in Santa’s lap together and Buggie talked about it for weeks.

I can’t even begin to describe how much we love this lady. She goes out of her way to make these kiddos feel loved on the way to and from school. It’s nice to know our little girl feels safe and happy when she climbs on that big yellow bus each day to meet her sweet friend “Miss J”.
