Meet School Bus and Big Truck

This is School Bus.


This is Big Truck.


They are treated like the 6th and 7th members of our family. (I am counting the baby as#5).  They go almost everywhere with us.  And when they don't go, they were invited by a little boy who's mom and dad said "no."  And usually some sort of tantrum or fit follows. 
We don't say their names with "the" or "your" in front of them.  They are just "School Bus" and "Big Truck". Period.  They have personalities and they both go to timeout. --We have discovered that instead of putting Carson in timeout, we put his toys that are being naughty, or not listening in timeout-- Then the next time he plays with them, he helps them be nicer or to listen.  He LOVES them.  And probably because Carson loves them, Porter loves them!
These two get pushed everywhere all day.  They go all over inside, everywhere in the car, to other people's backyards, to the park, in shopping carts, they take naps and go to bed at bedtime--in Carson's bed.  The other night when I went in to check on the boys, Carson was saying "oh, so funny, Big Truck."  I am not quite sure what that was all about.  Then they always get a nice "good morning" from Carson first thing.  And Big Truck has never been to church, but School Bus has. 
It gets a little annoying.  But we love them!

So cute, Em. I remember 'Snuggles', 'Winnie' and 'Dumbo' going on vacations, to the store, camping, etc. Once when we were going on vacation we had to go back and get Winnie because he was forgotten at home

So that is where he gets it! Oh man, I loved those guys so much! I cried and cried when Aaron punched a hole in Winnie's red croptop shirt!
