No Trent

On Monday I waited for Trent’s bus to come and it was super late. Then when it did come it was a different driver and there was no Trent. The driver stopped because he saw me standing there but when Trent didn’t get off when I called, I stepped up on the stairs and Olivia (little girl in our ward) said Trent’s not on the bus. I said "Where is he then?" the bus driver explained that there are normally 4 routes and our normal bus driver and bus didn’t show up that day (she was sick) and so the other 3 buses divided up her route and somehow Trent didn’t get on with the rest of the kids in our neighborhood. He called on his cell phone to the other driver and sure enough Trent was on that bus. So I grabbed Kara who was sleeping and Tyler and headed over to the school. We had to wait about 15 minutes before the bus came. I watched as 4 other little kids ran in to the school (they had afternoon kindergarten) then I saw Trent get off and just stand there. I called to him as Tyler, Kara and I walked down the sidewalk, he recognized me after the 4th time I yelled "TRENT." I asked him when he realized he was on the wrong bus. He said he didn’t until I just mentioned it to him. I asked him if he wondered why the bus driver never took him home and he said NO. Then I asked him what he thought he was doing back at the school, and he said "don’t know" – Sometimes I wonder what goes through that kid’s head! Anyway, an hour later than he normally gets home we pulled into the driveway. (good thing I wasn't supposed to be anywhere and could just drop everything to run to the school to pick up my kid) I still am not sure how the mix-up happened. I told him in the future to make sure he is always on the same bus as Olivia, and if some adult tries to put him on another bus he is supposed to tell them that his mom said he has to be on her bus. Doubt he will remember that!
Here is a random picture I took about a month ago before I gave the boys buzz hair cuts.
