Make new friends & keep the old

Chioma is our social butterfly. Her first word was "HI." So needless to say she has this desire to always be surrounded by "her friends" regardless of how much older they are than her. So many days if we go for walks or go to the park she believes that we are going there to play with "her friends." Her little face is so sad when she gets to the park and her friends are not there... Then the questioning begins "Mommy whereʻd my friends go??" Makes me wanna cry. But this post is to show Chioma and what she does best... Making friends

This is a pic of Chiomaʻs best friends in NY getting ready to eat her birthday cake right before bedtime. Oliver and Aolana will forever be good friends to our CJ! you donʻt get much better friends then these guys.


Here she is at a birthday party spreading frosting on a cookie with her new friends from her nursery in our church.


Hereʻs Chioma and Noe one of her favorite new friends here. I think itʻs because they are both into the same things like princesse,s and disney characters, and getting their own way, and hugging their little sisters. But they are so cute because they get so excited to see each other every sunday at church. IT looks like they are just meeting for the first time in this pick but I guarantee Chioma is just trying to get some of her snacks. HAHA


Chioma and little Gwennie who taught Chioma how to jump into the pool from her trampoline... so fun!


Chioma, Gwen and ʻDeli emptying the water from the pool that they should be playing in. OH well!


My favorite pic of Chioma and her best buddy Lana on the last day they saw each other. They have been buddies since the day they were born...Actually lana was in the room when Chioma was born that should say something about their bond. Chioma got to see her this last week on skype and for the next 2 days she kept asking me if she could go to Lanaʻs house...sad face I just choked up and said we donʻt have money to fly to NY to see her but one day we will get to see her. Hopefully her mom will get here soon (wink wink April)

I loved this. Isaac is also so excited to see his friends at the park and is so disappointed if they aren't there. I hope that warm, welcoming attitude stays with them forever.
