The Adventure of the Yellow Bus & Gracie


So where do I begin.... Let me begin with saying that a constant battle I have with my ever so "independent" Daughter is going to bed every night at a reasonable hour. Now lets remember she is only 6 years old!! I am sure all of you out there reading this will agree that bedtime for a 6 year old should be 8:30 -9:00PM at the latest, Right!!! Well Gracie has a way of finding reasons to get up in the middle of the night every single time she goes to bed. She normally stays up till 10PM or 10:30 PM. Trying to get her up & ready in the morning is literally like pulling teeth but not as fun!!
So yesterday she got on the bus at her School to ride to Daycare and Evidently she fell asleep on the bus. Chad got a call from the Daycare and was told "Gracie didn't get off the school bus and we called the school and she is not there, We don't know where she is!" Chad got up from his meeting without saying a word and headed to her school. He got there and there was no sign of grace anywhere so he headed to the Daycare. The Daycare called Chad and told him she had fallen asleep on the bus and the bus driver had finished his route and was heading back to the Bus barn when Grace woke up! The Bus Driver had to take her all the way back to her Daycare.
I asked was she scared and she said "No I just woke up and thought the bus driver turned the wrong way, So I asked him if he already went to my Daycare and he said yes!"
How lucky we are that she woke up before he dropped the bus off!
Anyhow guess what her new Bed time is???
7:30-8:00PM I woke her up this morning and she kept saying How good she slept. I don't think she will be taking anymore naps on the bus!!!
