Please forgive me if the title sounds sacrilegious at first glance. It's not meant to be. What is meant is to convey the relief I feel at the likelihood of setting up my daughter with a potential BFF for this Summer Season and beyond, as well perhaps. I love my daughter like no one else in my life. Little girls always hold a special place in their Daddy's heart--that goes without saying for any of you who know (*wink*+*smile*). It is also a fact that when they are little and so full of energy that you have to supply them with cohorts their own age so that they can release and express some of this boundless energy in ways that are natural to them: creative, active, fully engaging play with friends their own age. There is only so much play with mommy and daddy that they OR mommy and daddy can take. Also, playing solo will only take them so far.
Our girl: she is a Social Being and has let us know this from day 1. Barring the desire to birth a brother or sister into the world we have opted instead to increase her 'friendship pool'. Mommy and daddy have been lazy, but we are back on our game, starting today. We are turning over a new leaf of commitment to the process and as such have been able to schedule a new Playmate Connection with one of her best friends from her Pre-K class this last year. Her first Summer Play Date will commence at 2pm this afternoon. Yay! Hopefully, there may be many more to follow with this friend of hers. You may applaud (out loud or internally); it would be appropriate. Yay! Wish us and her good fortune.... Thank you. :)
