everyone needs a best friend



When we moved to Tennessee I was so suprised at how few children we had in our ward. There was only 1 little girl Kelsie's age, and 1 other girl who was Alyssa's age. Lots and lots of boys but hardly any girls. The little girl who was Kelsie's age was named Mikayla, and she and Kelsie got along great. Soon Mikayla moved away which we were so sad about. It wasn't long before another little girl came along named Maya who Kelsie worships more than anyone else on this planet. Maya is her best friend and she never stops talking about her. When it's Kelsie's turn to pray at dinner time, her prayer usually goes something like this. Please bless that I can see Maya tomorrow, and that she will let me play with her toys. Please bless that Maya is having fun right now. Please bless that Maya will be at church tomorrow. Please bless that Maya is having a good day at preschool. Please bless that me and Maya can watch a movie. Please bless that I can go to Maya's house, and on and on and on about Maya. She plays with Maya sometimes as much as 3-4 times a week, and still that is not enough. When she is not playing with Maya, she is writing her letters and wants to mail them to her. They are so cute together though, and we love our little Maya. She and Kelsie are two peas in a pod that's for sure. Maya lives less than five minutes away from us which is also very convenient.

On a side note. Saturday evening Jeremy was asking how old Kelsie was. I asked him why and he just said, "Oh it's just that Lucas seems really taken with her." I had to explain to him that it was because she's so kind to him. She never leaves him out when he's around and is constantly inviting him to do what she's doing. Even if there is a two year age gap, she is just absolutly so sweet to him. What a great little girl!
