Benjamin goes home!

I had to share our events of the day from Wednesday. I would never have thought that a 5 year old could pull something like this off...
Benjamin woke up Wednesday morning and was tired and did not want to get up. We get up at 5:45 a.m. every day and he did not want to go to sleep the night before so he was a grump. Anyway, He told us that he did not want to go to day care or to school. He was determined to stay home. Well, he went to day care and then on to school. At 11:00 we got a phone call from the day care that Benjamin was not at the school. We did not know what had happened. We then found out that he got on the bus to go home. The bus driver drops Benjamin off at our front door then waits until he gets into the house before she leaves. That way she knows someone is home with him. Well being the smart little boy that he is he went around the back of the house and found a way to get in, then opened up the front door and waved the bus driver off. The bus started to pull away and Benjamin thought he was home free and could be home by himself instead of going to the day care. We in the mean time had contacted the bus services who then radioed the bus driver who then stopped the bus and went up to the front door to get Benjamin and bring him back to the school. We picked him up there, got him lunch and then took him to day care. I was amazed how thought out the whole thing was and that he had pulled that much off on his own. We had a long talk when we got home from work that night. The school and the bus drivers all know that Benjamin and Tyler both are not to get on the bus to go home unless they have a written note from myself or Lanny stating that they can take the bus home that day. What fun adventures we have at our house.
