Kate has a good friend Andrew. They have seen each other at least once a week since they were six months old. They play pirates, dress up, and babies. When they are together they disappear into the bedroom , close the door and are not heard from for at least an hour or until they are hungry or need help with a costume. Andrew recently returned from a 10 day vacation with his family. We went to his house the day after they got home and this is the conversation that Andrew's mom, Debi, and I overheard.
Andrew: Kate, you are my friend.
Kate: You are my friend too, Andrew.
Andrew: Kate, I love you.
Kate: I love you too, Andrew.
Debi and I about cried at the sweetness of the exchange. It is just amazing to think that a four year old can express love and friendship.
