Her little heartbreak
Savannah had her friend, Alex(andra), over today. They usually play very well together, Alex saying I love you when they meet and Savannah telling others at worship, "This is my best friend."
Alex missed her nap today. Savannah never takes one. When the playdate was over, Alex wasn't happy about going home and cried. Her mother asked if she'd like to come back another time (trying to help her think about playing again rather than leaving.) But Alex was just too sad. So she said through her crying, "No."
Well, Savannah took it literally and started crying, her real cry, very sad. She turned toward me and hugged my leg. So Cory, Alex's mom, had her hug Savannah. They hugged by the door, both of them crying.
She cried just a little bit longer, "She doesn't want to come to my house." I later explained she was just sad and that Alex loves her. I got her upstairs so we could lie down together. She brought her big lady bug sleeping bag onto my bed so I could zip it up for her. She didn't stay long, but she forgot about why she was crying.
