So far, Sweet Pea has had a pretty easy time meeting and making friends. And there's a good reason for that - since she was born, her big sister, Poppy, was always there to make the introduction. Whether it was at the park, in the play zone at the mall, or wherever the two happened to see another kid who would instantly become the girls' new "best friend," Poppy was always there to take the lead.
A few weeks ago I realized that all of this was going to come to a screeching halt when Sweet Pea would walk into to her own classroom at her very first session of preschool. So... we began the first of many practice sessions entitled "meeting new friends" and "asking new friends to play."
I'm happy to report that the following unsolicited questions have been asked in the Go-Go Household about half a dozen times a day for the last week - I just hope Sweet Pea will not forget all this on her first day of preschool this week!
Sweet Pea: "Hi Mommy, I'm Sweet Pea. What's your name?"
or
Sweet Pea: "Hi, my name's Sweet Pea. Would you like to play outside?"
or
Sweet Pea: "I'm Sweet Pea. Would you like to play with me, Mommy?"
