The day when a promise to a friend disappeared.
Such a rather sad afternoon came for my second daughter, a first grader.
I have an appointment with a friend at 3 p.m.!"
So I accompanied him while he went to the nearby library.
...Unfortunately, he was not there. The second daughter was sad and depressed.
Well, there's always a lower grade 😅.
I was so depressed that we decided to go for a walk together as it were 🌿.
The little backs of the little ones running away, saying, "Mommy, go over there 💕," were just too cute. It eased my sadness a little.
Promises between children are still very vague.
It may not be communicated properly, or the other person may have plans,
Sometimes there is no way to communicate and things can go wrong.
With my eldest daughter, mothers checked in with each other on line, but with my second daughter, there was no such connection yet.
We read picture books together while hugging squeamishly at the library.
Still, my second daughter was sad at times, "Why wasn't she here today?" and she was sad at times.
I am sorry to hear that. I was sad. What should we do so that you can play properly next time?
Let's think about it, Mom." I told her, "Yes. She answered, "Yes.
As we were walking, my second daughter suddenly rummaged through her bag.
She took out the snacks she had prepared for her friends, saying, "Mommy, let's have a snack together over there🎶."
She said, "Take a picture with me using the camera on your phone, 💕" and we both snapped a picture together: 📷️✨️
I can't believe I had such a warm moment ✨.
This kind of back-and-forth on promises is common in the early elementary grades.
It is by no means "just my child" and is rather evidence that he is slowly learning how to interact with others.
Once I thought that, my relief became greater than my anxiety.
Looking back on the "day the promise disappeared", it is a moment of tender memories.
I quietly told my second daughter.
I had so much fun walking with you today. Thank you💕."
Afterword: "Play Ticket" created by my second daughter
After that, my second daughter made me a ticket to choose a day to play ✨.
I loved the way she wrote down the "date," "time," and even "what to bring," in her own way, trying to be creative....
I felt that this is how they learn how to interact with others little by little 🌸.
