Over last few months we've been taking Emily to Sunday school and she's started making friends with the other kids in her class, but today was the first time that I've really seen her play with someone other than her cousin's. It started before church started, there was no one in her class today, so she was just running around playing. One of the times she can by me she was with her 'friend' Julia, and I noticed they were holding hands. I thought "isn't that cute," but then dismissed it. Then just after we sat down for church Emily wanted her apples that we had taken for her, and shortly there after I noticed Julia eyeing up Emily's apples, so I called her over and asked if she wanted to share Emily's she said yes. She slowly started to eat the apple and was just standing there quietly and so I asked her if she wanted to stay with us, and she said yes. This was the start of a fun filled church service for Emily. Her and Julia played through the whole service without fighting or arguing. I had needed to nurse Rebecca during their service and had layed my nursing cover over the chair in front of us when i was done. Emily and Julia used that nursing cover as a tent, sometimes they were underneath it as it draped over the chair, other times they both stuck there heads out of the head whole. It was the cutest thing to watch. Near the end of the service the girls got a bit rambunctious and Julia's mom came and took her back to there seats, but just as soon as church was over and Emily was allowed out of our row she was off to find Julia and we had to drag her out of the church when it was time to go home. Just like all toddler relationships they sometimes fight, but it doesn't hinder there friendship. Watching the two of them play together made me sad and happy at the same time. Sad because it showed me just how much Emily was growing up and happy to see her making friends outside of family. It's amazing how quickly the time passes and they seem to grow up overnight.
