Friends

It takes a long time to make a friend.  Many people think kids develop instant friendships, but it is no more true for children than for adults.  Children may know each other's names, share the same toys, read the same books, but until they really begin to talk to each other, they are simply acquaintances. 

This is the time of year when we really see friendships bloom.  We've all been together for a few months now and we know each other's ways.  It's wonderful!
