BFFs Reunited

Why is it that things that make your children happy make you even happier?

One of the surprises that came with kindergarten was that Pud has been reunited with Butterfly-Girl.  The two of them had been the best of friends since they were infants. They went to the same daycare/preschool and learned to walk, talk, and pee together. Puddin' actually mispronounced her own name for a year because Butterfly couldn't say it correctly. They spent 8 hours a day, 5 days a week joined at the hip.

Then when they were about 4 1/2 Butterfly moved away and everyone was very sad.

The first Friday after Kindergarten started Pudd got off the bus and was about out of her mind. "Mama, do you know who I saw today while we waited on the buses?" I quizzed her to make sure she was sure and she was. Sadly they are back because Butterfly parents are getting divorced. Puddin has been so happy to have her best friend back. It has made being in a class with no old friends much easier knowing that good ol' Butterfly is right down the hall. And this has made me very happy. Happy that Pudd has her buddy back, happy that Butterfly has a good friend to help her through this rough patch. Just happy.
