Its a New Day!

"I will say Hi I'm Jaden Elise Larkin do you want to be my friends?" I hear quietly from the backseat. Jaden and I are on our way to a new Pre-school this morning and Jaden is rehearsing what she will say to the new kids. " Oh Natalie! We can be friends again!" I hear.
Then there is some silence followed by " Mom, I will ask the kids to be my friends right?" I say " sure honey if you want to. It's up to you who your friends are so chose them carefully okay?"
She thinks about it for a minute...
We pull in to the parking lot and as I turn off the car and turn around for our morning "pep talk" Jaden says " I want to pick only kids that treat me with respect huh mom." I say "yes that's right, and if there are kids that are rude, you should just love them and be extra nice. And tell your teacher if anybody hurts you okay?"
"okay mom, I think I will be okay though. I am a very nice girl and I will wait to ask my Friends to be my friends first."
So she had it all planned out and was ready to go. She asked me if her friend Natalie was there and I said I didn't know yet. Just then Natalie and her mom go walking by. "Natalie! There she is mom! Shes still here!"
We go inside right behind Natalie, and the two girls hug, they hugged for a long time and then they kissed each other. Jaden immediately began to unzip her backpack and show Natalie her nap time toy and her Tinkerbell blanket and her spare clothes for in case she had an accident.
Natalie used to go to Kinder Care with Jaden so they knew each other well. For out visit a few weeks ago Jaden saw Natalie and was immediately sold Wee Care as her new Pre-school.
I walked Jaden into her class and Natalie took Jadens hand and said Jaden, come with me and lets be Friends!"
Jaden found her cubby and then she went to hang up her coat...Natalie hung up her coat for her. Jaden was trying to process all this, you could see in her eyes how happy she was that this was her school and that it was finally her first day.
Before going to sit down next to Natalie, Jaden ran up to me and hugged and kissed me and said "mom I really love it here thank you letting me come to this school with my new Friends and thank you for all the blessings mom! I am happy and I am crying, but nobody hurt me, I am just happy mom. " She was so happy, she had tears in her eyes, she was so happy. The look on her little face was one I will never forget as long as I live. She was just so happy.

Anyhow, Jaden is a big girl now. She has her new pal again and I cant wait to pick her up and hear all the details.
