heres a cute story for you guys

I think I embarrassed my son this morning

...it was PARTLY his fault for not listening to me this morning.

He starts gymnastics this afternoon and since DH is picking him up from the bus stop, I wasn't sure if he would have enough time too bring him back to the apt to change. (DS wears a uniform to school)

So I put a pair of shorts and a T Shirt in his backpack and TOLD him I was doing so...

He gets on the school bus this morning and starts gesturing towards me with the T Shirt in hand mouthing 'What's this for?'

I mouthed back:
'It's for later...'

He says ok, but then gives the T Shirt to the bus driver... I walk over to the doors, and the bus driver tells me, 'He doesn't want it...'

So I get ON the bus and remind him
'Aidan, this is for gymnastics..'
then quickly changed it to:
'Aidan this is for GYM' (I'm not sure if gymnastics is 'uncool' for 8 year old boys)

and throw the shirt back to him....
He sat back in his seat and seemed quiet, as the bus rolled away...

There weren't THAT many kids on the bus but I fear I'm going to get reprimanded for embarrassing him in front of his friends...

[sigh] I'm no good at this transitional phase...

first underwear with trucks on them, now THIS...

I fail at motherhood

you excel at awesomeness

i think you're awesome! I wish *I* could have taken gymnastics.. It wasn't until I was older & it was free that I was introduced to it then in MS and HS I had a LOT of catching up to do..

awww---- you're truly a parent when you embarass your child.

i'm sure he was trying his hardest to look out the window while the bus headed to school in hopes that the other kids weren't looking at him.

you should have SEEN the look of HORROR in his eyes when I walked on the bus.

I almost laughed it was so adorable... but then it sunk in the damage I just did...
