Best Friends
Raina has a book, Laura's Star, which is about a little girl who wished she had a friend. She catches a little star, rejoices, and then realizes that the star is dying because it's not in the sky. She then releases her star back up to the sky, knowing that her best friend is out there somewhere.
It's a sad story. I mean, the words "cold and empty" are used, and Raina uses them too now and she understands what they mean. So today at breakfast, we talked about best friends and how you can feel happy knowing that you have a best friend even if you don't see him or her all the time. How she can be excited to go home and see her cows, but that it's okay to be excited about doing other things without her cows. She nodded and then said, "I have other best friends!" Her parents, wondering which daycare kid she was going to mention, asked to know of whom she was speaking.
Raina said: "My cousins! And I'm getting a new cousin! A boy cousin!" And then she happily resumed eating her breakfast.
