Aunt Poohie Express


Here is a photo of the "Aunt Poohie Express" (the name Bub gave it). This has become a staple word in our house. (I don't think a mini van has ever got so much attention) We use it as a reminder in the morning that the Aunt Poohie Express will be here in ten minutes. We use it as an encouragement at bedtime. We now even know what happens on the Aunt Poohie Express on the way to school. The Aunt Poohie Express runs Monday through Thursday (Sienna's preschool days). Pooh offered to pick Bub up on the way to school instead of him riding the bus on preschool days. He loves it!! He has even tried to convince Aunt Poohie to enroll Sienna in an extra day of preschool on Fridays (she said absolutely not). If you look closely at the picture you can see Lola. (an added bonus to the Aunt Poohie Express) This is just another part of the adventure in our world.

Well if the Aunt Poohie express is bedtime motivation, is it working? I also use it to remind the kids (Sierra and Brandon) to calm down in the Aunt Poohie Express. It worked incredibly well yesterday.

I just realized taht I really have no idea where you or Wendy live? Do your kids go to the same schools? Do you live near each other..I guess yes would be a good assumption :)

To answer your question Pooh it does motivate Bub quickly when I remember to use it. The thought of the bus makes him move quickly. What was life before the Aunt Poohie Express?

Yes Danielle Sierra and Bub go to the same school, Western Reserve. Maddie goes to the middle school/highschool. And Sienna goes to the Western Reserve preschool. Sienna's preschool is right down the road from my house so Pooh swings by to get Bub. (This gives him 30min extra to sleep in which he values highly) Pooh and I live about 15 min. or so from each others house.

I'd say that the Aunt Poohie Express is a good thing...Wendy - do you ever get the feeling that your van seat is molded to fit your butt? Mine is...
