school update

I am THRILLED to report Maya had a great day at school, and basically ignored me the whole time. I met a new mom and we bonded over how similar our daughters personalties/tempers are. I seriously felt a whole lot better after talking to her. I am also so proud of Maya for being an empathetic and caring friend. Bella's mommy left today, and Bella was very sad. She was crying and thinking about her mommy. Maya was by her side the whole time. Rubbing her head, trying to hug her, bringing her water, and holding her hand. She didn't leave Bella until her mommy came back. Just like what happened today, for the past few days, she has taken my red Buddah bank (she calls it her baby), and made a whole narrative about her. So the "baby's" mommy isnt here, and she is so sad. Maya walks around holding her, kissing her, lays her down with toys and books, then covers her in a blanket so she's "comfy cozy" as we call it. OMG its just the cutest thing. I keep reminding her that all mommy's come back, and its ok if "baby" is sad and thinking about her mommy. Its ok to cry too.
