This past week Emma said "see you later" to her two best friends that she met 2 years ago in preschool. Of course Emma's friends: Sadie and Amira are attending different schools than Emma, it can be a little challenging when meeting different friends. But these 3 girls have a strong connection and friendship I see lasting throughout the years.
Getting to know Sadie and Amira have been a true blessing on my end because I watched both of them become strong independent individuals. Especially at the age of 5. Since being their preschool teacher for this long, I feel humble that Emma has grown up with them.
Play dates are the best becase the girls can play at the park and run their energy off while I get to hang out with Erica and Melissa. I would just catch up with the ladies and tell them about myself a little more or just the school Emma is going to. Some times we just take everything in and just watch our girls squeal and giggle because they are having the best time.
Before school started for the girls, mini golf was on the agenda. Since it was a nice day just to be away from the heat and humity, it was actually nice to get the energy out. Where we were at, the playground was just walking distance to where we were going to play golf.
18 holes and lots of squeals later, the game was over. To top the day off we all went on the carousel so the girls can ride the horses. Towards the end of the early afternoon they said had a little group hug, just the 3 of them. The next play date we are having is at the park. In about 2 weeks the "purple park" as the kids call it is holding a inflatable event and all is welcome. So Emma is looking forward to that.
