Everyday when I pick my son up from school (yes its actually daycare but we call it school, probably because it makes me feel better!) I ask him how his day was and who he played with. Everyday his answer is either, "Miss Kay" or "Miss Melissa". Those are two of his teachers. I'm thrilled that he likes his teachers and thinks of them as friends, but I always wonder why he doesn't say "Parker" or "Brayden". When I ask him about some of the kids in the class, he tells me he loves them (which is adorable!) but he doesn't seem to consider them friends. So I wonder, when do children start making real friends? My very best friends have been my friends for decades. I think we would've been friends in preschool if I had gone to the same school as them. But I changed schools in 6th grade and that's when I met my life long friends. I treasure our 30 or so years of friendship. We've maintained close bonds through marriages, divorces, births, losses and thousands of miles that have separated us through the years. So, since Cruz started school, I've looked at the other kids and thought, "I wonder if this is going to be one of his friends through high school, college or even beyond?" But so far, he's not heading in that direction. I'm assuming this is normal....right???
