One of the main reason of Marley is going to preschool is for the social benefits. The kid is a genius. I realize that everyone says that about their own kid, but I really mean it. She has been gifted with an amazing memory and can memorize most everything almost instantly. That being said, socially the kid is just plain awkward. She isn't too afraid to talk to people but she really needs to talk with more children than adults. She has always been the oldest or only kid in the family. Everyday that she goes to preschool I tell her to talk with someone new and to remember to play with all the kids. Today I had the pleasure of taking her friend Gwen to school because her mom couldn't. Listening to them talk on the ten minute ride to school was hilarious. Marley was talking a mile a minute and Gwen had no idea what she was saying.
After their detailed conversation, Marley looks at Gwen and said, "Will you be my best friend?" Gwen replies "Do you really want me to be?"
Marley said, "I really do!" "Ok" said Gwen, "then we are best friends!!"
Apparently it is that simple. They held hands as they walked into school and they are now the very best of friends.
