Today Victoria was out of school for Martin Luther King's Day, so she invited a friend over to play. Macy was Victoria's very first best friend and I am amazed at how strong their friendship is. Before Tori started preschool we would pray that God would send her someone that she could be good friends with. It only took a few days and these girls were hooked. Their teacher said that she thought they were joined at the hip. She also said that even though they were such good friends they didn't exclude people and got along with everybody. I think it's rare to find two girls that just click as good as these two do. Anyway, so they were best buddies that whole year, but then they went to different schools for kindergarten. Being so young, you might think that they would not keep their relationship going, but you'd be wrong. The first day of kindergarten, Tori wanted to call and check on Macy. Macy had asked her mom the same thing. Periodically, Tori would say that she missed Macy and wanted to have her over. Macy would do the same. So, Macy's mom and I would periodically get them together, but not a lot, just because we were busy. Their friendship never changed. Tori got a new best friend in kindergarten, but Macy was still her close friend. Even now, they are both in first grade, still at different schools, and they still ask to see each other. They love being together and they never fight with each other. I've noticed in a lot of children's relationships that there is usually a boss and a follower. And with one friend a particular kid might be the boss, but then that same kid might be the follower in another relationship. Well, they don't have a boss or a follower. They are equal and I think that's one of the reasons why they love each other so much. I really enjoyed watching these two play together today and sure thank God for the blessings that He puts in my children's lives.
