Rachel regularly tells me that her little friend Devin "breaks up" with her (and I am so glad she doesn't yet know what that really means). A sample from tonight's dinner conversation:
"How'd your day go?" I asked.
"Terrible," she answered matter-of-factly.
"Why??" I asked.
"Devin broke up with me this much," she said, holding up three fingers.
When I asked her to explain, she said, "She ignored me at painting, she ignored me at stories, and she ignored me in the Big Room" (where everyone has free play).
"It was not fair to me at all," she continued. "Devin said, 'I'm not going to let you come to my house and play with my dress-up.' And Sadie said, 'me too.' So, I went in the Big Room and played with Amanda and Tessa."
And then she outlined a game they played that made no sense to me, but she kept cracking herself up describing it. Hopefully she is learning to go to other groups of kids if one group snubs her, which is a very valuable lesson.
