Having a friend move away is tough. Ellie's good friend and neighbor, Riley, moved to California, and Emily's friend, Erica, moved to Canada. They have been writing back and forth and anxiously await a letter in the mail daily. They love exchanging pictures, stickers, and sweet words scribbling BFF's at the bottom of each letter. We are trying to help with some of the sadness by letting them talk on the phone some, which is really cute for a 6 and 9 year old. They talk about favorite colors, what they are learning about in school, what they want for Christmas, among other various topics. We took it a step further and let the girls skype together, which was absolutely priceless! We were worried that it might make them miss each other more, but they were adorable together! They got there American Girl dolls and showed them to each other and talked about their hair and outfit. Sometimes they would just stare at each other and smile. To end their conversation, they both kissed the computer. "Let's skype tomorrow!" Yes, besides the good ole' letter writing which skype could never replace, skype might be a good thing to help with some of that heavy heart stuff!
(will figure out post at some point...)
