One day this week Jakob got to go home from day care together with his best friend Linus. His mum and I have been talking about it for quite some time and this week we made it happen. I was a bit nervous. Jakob was so excited in the morning and told the carers at day care what was going to happen. Linus mum is really nice so I didn't expect it to be a problem at all but you never know. An hour after she had picked them up she sent me a message that they were having great fun together and that they didn't even have time to sit down for a snack. After nearly 3 hours together I picked him up and of course he didn't want to come home. I tricked him by starting to talk about a missing car that I found when cleaning at home and he forgot to be upset about leaving. That night he slept from 6.45pm until 7.40 in the morning!!
Having friends in your life is something that I think is extremly important and something that I value a lot in life. I am very happy to have many really close and amazing friends in my life. I know how much it means to have good friends around you so I want to encourage Jakob to have close friends in his life (if he wants to of course). I try to teach him how to be a good friend and what good friends can do for each other. Not so easy with a 3 year old that is very very attached to his toys and not so fond of sharing, but I think he is learning and questioning things is only a healthy thing in life.
