Xander Week 110 – Best Friend Update
March 19, 2009
Last week I was so worried about Xander and his potential heartbreak. Apparently all that worry was unnecessary. When I picked Xander up from day care that day, he apparently had not told Leanne that she was his best friend. I’m not sure if he forgot, chickened out, or just didn’t see her. When I asked him who his best friend was, he told me Nicholas (a boy in his room, about 6 months younger than Xander). The next day, his answer was Katie (a girl in his room about 9 months older).
It turns out, Xander’s answer varies from day to day. Today it might be Leanne, but tomorrow it might be Carver or Katie or Nicholas. Apparently it’s completely fine with 2-year-olds to be fickle with your “best friend” status, and it’s totally ok to have multiple best friends. I don’t know if I’ve gotten too old to understand the culture, or if they just haven’t figured out the whole best friend game yet. Either way, it appears to be a game amongst them, and every day we get a new and usually entertaining answer about who Xander’s best friend is – I can’t wait to find out what he will tell me when I pick him up this evening!
Ahhhh…I don’t know about you but I’m so relieved he didn’t get his heart broken!!
I’ll remind myself to refer back to this post when Samantha starts talking about having a best friend!
He is so freakin’ cute and funny Sara…everyday must be a joy with him!
Thanks for the update Sara! Glad to know Xander hasn’t experienced his first heartbreak yet.
They are all so lucky to have him as a friend!
