Friendships...

Dance class is back in session. Lily loves it just as much this year as she did last...and she and Lexi are in the same class again, which makes them both very happy. They're like two peas.
She is still loving preschool and really comes alive when we get to school. (even when she is crabby with me - she snaps out of it as soon as she sees her school friends). She has declared Jadyn her BFF, but tells all of the kids that they will be "fwiends foweva." We've had a couple playdates, and I'm so proud of her for being a very good friend (most of the time).



However, due to the fact that everyone is back to the busy fall schedule...Lily is missing her friend Wyatt. He still lives across the street, but they haven't played together in weeks. She misses her prince...


She doesn't get to see her cousin Payton much either anymore...he hasn't even been over since she made "the warning signs" for him! We've gotta do something about this.
I'm so thankful for my sweet friends, and am happy to see my daughter forming wonderful relationships in her young life...I hope some of these kiddos are her friends forever. Wouldn't that be neat? I mean, I'm old enough now to be able to say to one of my girlfriends "We've been friends for 20 plus years!" And it doesn't matter how much time passes between our get-togethers, we are always able to quickly pick up where we left off.
And, I will also say that I am thankful for my online friends. Ya'll rock. XO

Such sweet friend pics, Nikki!!! I wish we lived closer as I just KNOW Ella and Lily would love one another...talk about 2 peas...

I have someone local to me that is thinking about adopting from Korea...would you mind if I give her your e-mail address?

I must say, your camera takes spectacular pictures! (I'm sure it helps that the cuties in the pics are so beautiful and photogenic!) How neat for you to see Lily forming lifelong friendships. :) She is so sweet, just like her mama!

Linette said...

Friends are the best! I'm sure Lily will have many with her sweet personality. :)

I love seeing S.G. make new friends. Since our move, it's been hard because we don't have our playgroup anymore. However she's having fun at school and talks about her friends all the time. No BFF's yet, but hopefully soon.

So the warning, keep out signs didn't go over too well, eh?

Love when they have little buddies. And you are right, so cool to think some of the friends she has might be still be around when she is an adult! fun to think about!

Hi. I saw that you commented on Michlees blog about the movie Fireproof. I so recommend you go and see it if you get the chance. You will be glad you did!

BTW, your family is just lovely.
