Little Buddies

Jeff & his best friend Addie

If you ask Jeff who his best friend is, he'll always say, "Addie!" She's the same age as Jeff, although a month younger, but they've been friends for....I wanna say 2 years, but I'm not exactly sure when they became friends, to tell you the truth. Anyway, these two are always running around,terrorizing the neighborhood and just having fun together.

Now, if you ask him who his other friend is, he'll tell you it's Anna from down the street. She's actually the little sister of Ryan's friend Isaac, so sometimes Jeff will tag along when Ryan heads over there. Anna is a year older, but she really enjoys playing with Jeff.

The funny thing about these three is that they can't be together all at once. It's either Jeff & Addie or Jeff & Anna, never the two girls together. They tried once, but Addie and Anna didn't get along, so Jeff figured out to play with one friend when the other can't. I just find this whole friendship/situation interesting just because Jeff has friends that are girls. He gets along with boys, but he seems to make friends easily with girls. Of course, he doesn't see them as girls, just his friends.

It makes me wonder if Jeff and Addie will still be friends as they get older. I really hope so, as I had a best friend that was a boy when I was elementary school and life was good. Plus, I think it made me understand his point of view on things not only as a different person, but as a boy.

Was there a point to this post? Not really. I just find it interesting. It's fun to watch Jeff and Addie play together; it's always nice when your kids find friends they really like.
