Friendships

Besides the parents becoming friends and supporting each other, the children in our classes also develop great friendships. I have noticed that there are two girls that are very good friends. The families don’t always arrive at the same time. Usually one of the girls gets there first. Last Tuesday when the second girl arrived, I could see her at the door. She tapped on the glass and waved to her friend. Then she did a little dance and twirled her skirt. Her friend, sitting at a table with me, noticed and smiled a big smile. Of course, I had to smile also. There was so much sweetness in the moment. As usual, the two had a lot of fun playing together for the rest of the class.

While these two in the picture are different friends, it is also so great to see such affection towards each other with their hand holding. They started off in the baby class together. Now they are 1 ½ years old and are in the toddler class together. At this age there is a lot of parallel play between friends so it is always nice to capture moments that show they care for each other.
