Friends are a very big deal to the Toddler! She is always telling us she wants to go and play with so-and-so!
When we buy anything for her, she also keeps a sweet or a toy for a specific friend, called Cara. I had to promise her the other day that I would buy another present for the friend. Because I kept an extra McDonald’s toy in my handbag (a back-up), and she was very upset...
It was her friend’s toy! (She can't open it!)
At 32 months (Toddler out of the box) she is still playing alongside the friends, not with them. “Mine” is also a word being heard regularly! But the friends being there are very important...
Even though she sees play mates at day care every day, she still feels the need for her special friends!
So sweet...it is amazing that they can play alongside each other and still know that they are friends.
