"You are my Very Best Friend"

Hayden has a Best Friend. His name is Hayden too.

When they play, sometimes one Hayden says to the other,

“You are my very best friend.”

Recently, Hayden told me that he needed to “explain to Hayden that they can't be best friends anymore."

I asked “Why?”

His answer, “Because Hayden played with someone else and not me.”

Now, I am trying to “explain” that it is okay to have LOTS of Best Friends.

Sometimes your BROTHER is your best friend.

Sometimes your COUSINS are your best friends.

Sometimes our NEIGHBORS are our Best Friends.

And sometimes the people we go to school and church with are our best friends.

Sometimes we laugh with our best friends...

And sometimes we cry with our best friends.

And in the end, hopefully we will Marry our BEST FRIEND. :)

Such a hard concept for a little boy with only ONE Friend.

Loved all of the pictures. Friends are the best, for sure! And I agree, it is nice to be able to be married to a "best friend". Thanks for taking time to do this post. It was a great one. The pic of Kayla and Kenzie in 2002 was a blast from the past...loved it!

When I told Tobe he gets to go to Brooklyn and Brynley's house while I am in Utah---he screamed and said, "NO!!! I want to go to Haydee's:(" Haydee is still Tobe's best friend. Well maybe Micah now since they've shared their private secrets:)
I am glad I am married to my best friend. And I am glad that my sisters are my best friends:)
