Julia is quite fond of a 2nd grader and she announced to me that She LOVED him the other day. To which I first gagged to myself and then said ... you don't even know this boy how can you love him? She then said "He asked me to play tag and I said yes so I know him now!"
2nd Story was just now at bedtime. This is usually the time that Julia gets sad about missing her friends -- she is tired and thinking about things ... and stalling to go to sleep I am sure. So she said tonight "Everynight I go to bed and I just feel in my stomach that something is missing and it has an F in it. It is friends, I miss my special friends from Washington. It is like some of my world is gone and I am now in a new world" Yes, she is right...but we will gain new friends here and have our 'old' friends too. Two worlds to a little girl though! :)
It's really hard for kids to comprehend the distance of friends and yet the opportunities that await them. As a mom it is even more heartbreaking to hear this. Hang in there...it does get easier!!!
