Finn the Therapy Dog.
Leo loves Finn. Finn also "worked" at the school last year and he was, no one is probably shocked to hear, a roaring success. The idea is kids will read more comfortably and be less inhibited if they're around an uncritical, patient, um, creature.
Like Finn.
Some mornings, Leo is not so excited to get on the bus. I think it's mostly for show (anyone who knows Leo can vouch for the fact he has a flair for the drama). What always helps is for him to bring something with him. Leo has been known to bring some pretty odd things on the bus. Pillow Pet, umbrella (on a non-raining day), giant, musical Christmas book. He bounds down the stairs and across the grass, clutching whatever item he's chosen.
This morning, the only thing that would get him on the bus? That picture of Finn, you see up there.
