Isaac has a buddy called Steffan in nursery where he goes twice a week. At easter steffan’s mum told me that he was no longer going in the afternoon and would be in the morning, the opposite times to Isaac. I felt bad for my little guy as he seemed to have really formed a bit of a bond with Steffan but decided not to change isaac’s pattern for the moment.
This morning Isaac was talking to me about nursery when he suddenly said ‘teacher says that Steffan isnt there’ It made me realise that he must be asking after him in nursery too. I dont think i had realised that even at such a young age it is possible to just ‘click’ with other kids.
Anyway feeling like i was robbing my boy of his one true friend!!! I dropped him off at nursery. Picking him up at 3pm, I walked into their big playroom only to be completely ignored by Isaac as Steffan was there…….. belting along behind isaac shouting something like ‘its raining, lets get in the house’
I dont know why steffan was there in the afternoon, but i was surprised at how chuffed i was to see him there. Knowing that my boy would have had a great time there that afternoon just did my heart good.
I stood for about 20 minutes watching him play and it was so good. I realised just how important friends are, even when you are only 3 and a half.
