But one father hopes to brighten his daughter's day with a unique surprise when she returns home from school. I like doing it for her because she had a bad day, the kids had a bad day, gives them something to look forward to on the way home just to brighten things up. Jeff Wood, a former firefighter, has been dressing up in silly costumes every day to greet his daughter at their bus stop after school. Jeff says it all started when he saw a video on social media of someone wearing a bunny hat and the rest was history. I just thought she'd like it and I ordered it and hadn't even thought about doing it for her to get off the bus and it was time for the bus and I just throwed it on my head and walked out there and the bus driver opened the door and she just started laughing and I was making ears pop up and hollering at her and her reaction was just joy as soon as she came in the house she looked and she said, dad give me the hat and that's her go-to thing now and she wants to goof off she'll go grab the hat and come through there popping ears up and hollering at us and I told my wife I said I had to keep doing this. Jeff's outfits have included everything from a cowboy riding an inflatable horse, an inflatable T-Rex and even Fatso the Clown. Jeff says that the COVID-19 pandemic is tough on Ellie because she loves to learn and wants to get back to being a kid again. She would look at us and say is the virus over with so we can go back to school? Can I go back to school? I want to go see my friends and it's just stuff like that and she missed the interaction and she's not your typical kid that you have to fight with to get up to go to school in the morning. I mean the alarm goes off she's up she's ready to head out the door. Jeff says that dressing up in costumes with his daughter and wife is something that they enjoy doing year-round. Last few years I've dressed up with her on Halloween and we dress up for Christmas time for family photos we goofy outfits and one important thing Jeff wants his daughter and the other students riding the bus to learn is that it is okay to just be yourself and I just want her to know that it's okay to step out of your comfort zone don't keep things bottled up I mean if you're having a bad day find a way to make it better and not trying to be anything other than dad.
