Bringing a Smile to Our Little One's Face

Tweet

With schools closed in our state, the kids are being home-schooled. The classmates do not have contact with one another. It saddened me to see how much Little Miss was missing her friends from school. We do have contact with her teacher and get videos of her reading books or doing other activities that are of interest to her. She loves getting these videos. Yesterday, she received a brief video from her friend Wyatt, just saying hello and telling of how he caught salamanders. Little Miss was delighted to see the video that he sent via her teacher. So, when it is nice out today, we will make a video for her classmates. But, there was one person she keeps saying that she wishes she could see and missed so much. It was her best friend Harper. Harper was in another classroom, but they played together on the playground everyday. Warmed my heart to see the two of them together. I asked her teacher if she would give our phone number to Harper's parents in hopes that they would call so the two girls could talk to each other. I was cooking dinner last night when an unrecognizable phone number came up on my phone. I almost didn't answer it, but did. It was Harper's mom. She asked if we could do FaceTime, and thankfully I have an iPhone, so we could do it!! The girls were so happy to see one another. They spent a half hour showing each other their toys and laughing. They were surprised that they both had the same toy, a stuffed white cat that purrs and meows. Little Miss said they had twins. I asked Harper's mom if we could let the girls do video chat more often so they could stay close. She agreed. So happy to bring a smile to their little faces. It was clear that they truly missed one another.
