I love it when Benjamin gets together with his best bud Gabriel. Gabriel is 6 months older than Ben, but you'd never know it because Ben looks like a bruiser next to him! When I drive up to Gabriel's house you can see the elation in Ben's eyes and he can't wait to see him. They just love being with each other...and it's just wonderful as a mother to watch a friendship develop. And as they get older they become more at the same developmental stage and get along better and better. They love being with each other...they giggle, laugh and sometimes fight too. And the greatest thing is they keep each other occupied so us mothers can enjoy each others company too. I hope they are best buds for a long long time. And I'm also hoping that Levi and Gabriel's little brother, Micah (who is 3 months older than Levi) will also be best buds...and then they can all play so we can drink coffee in peace.
I remember childhood friendship...it was the greatest! We had 4 girls next door...Kendra and I were the same age and the bestest of friends. There were very few days in over a decade that we didn't hang out...and even though I'm sure we had our moments...childhood friendships are pretty grand. No matter what goes wrong, the next day all is right again and everything from the day before is forgotten. We really need to remember this in our adult friendships sometimes. We make such big deals over small petty things, that as kids we forget and forgive so quickly.

I agree! Childhood friendships are awesome! Isn't it weird how those friendships are so different than the ones we make as we are "older"? I still get together with some friends from school and we all act goofy and weird and that's ok. Definately not the same with anyone else! Happy your boys are meeting friends and will pray for good bonds to form.
