Six months of silence ends today.
There are four girls in M's preschool class. There are 18 kids total.
The three cuties above have been close for almost two years.
The one on the left will be in M's kindergarten class next year, and assuming nobody moves, they will be together for the remainder of their elementary years.
The one on the right is M's little buddy and her soccer pal and I anticipate they will be friends for a while, even with them going to different schools in the fall.
They are the triplets.
The "other sister" is another little girl who, according to her teacher, often gets excluded from the fun.
At conferences last year, M's teacher told us that B really liked M and hinted that it would be nice if M took her under her wing and facilitated an integration of sorts, since it seemed that M was the bridge that joined the two parties.
D and I touched the subject with her. But after bit of discussion, we both decided that at the end of the day, she was only five, and that as long as she wasn't being mean and being obviously exclusive, which wasn't the case as we understood it, she couldn't -- nor should she have to -- shoulder the weight of the world at such a young age.
I still stand by that; albeit not very firmly. Truth is, I wobble around quite a bit on the topic.
Yesterday M's teacher told me that she had a talking to with the girls last week because they straight up told B that she couldn't play with them. B came up to her in near tears :(
Today, the Triplets were born....and of course the "other sister" too.
Did they realize what was going on there? Or was this their way of including her?
Really?
Already?
God Help Me
