  Rewind
  
  Ok, so about a month ago or so, Calvin switched to a new daycare where he will officially start preschool the first of next year.
  
  The good news? It's less than 5 block from Mama's office and less than 5 minutes from Calvin's pediatrician's office.
  
  The bad news? Mama now has a companion on her morning commute. A companion that gives her the play-by-play on every. single. schoolbus. he sees.
  
  As you can imagine, our commute lasts about a half hour IN THE MORNING and again IN THE AFTERNOON when every. single. schoolbus. in the city is leaving or returning to Schoolbus Headquarters (where they then get drunk on diesel mixers & oil chasers after a hard day's work).
  
  What this means is that Calvin notifies me any and every time he spots a schoolbus and he makes sure to repeat himself at least 3 or 4 times. You know, in case I didn't hear him the first time or I'm too busy trying not to jerk the wheel into a nearby wall.
  
  Now don't get me wrong. The first week of this was sickeningly adorable and I loved it. But unfortunately for me, the novelty wore off for me after that first week, while Calvin is still thoroughly looking forward to his daily traffic report.
  
  So with that being said, I'd like to officially request that the phrases, "anudder schoolbus!" and "Eye Mo Goodness!" (oh my goodness) be stricken from the record and from Calvin's vocabulary.
  
  It's a good thing I love my little Traffic Correspondent and don't know what I'd do without him. Else I might have to start riding the "shitty bus" (city bus) and make Papa take our future reporter to school.
