Lily and Sam have been friends since Lily was....6 months old?(She's almost 2 now) We met them our very first Sunday in the Ville (we arrived Saturday night), when they brought brownies and sat on our floor to chat with us (hadn't unpacked the truck yet), then invited us to dinner (the first of many that we have since enjoyed).
When I told Sam Lily was coming over, he ran to the door calling her name. Since she wasn't coming for 2 hours, it took some entertaining to pass the time. When Lily arrived, Sam ran to the door (again).
He helped her take off her coat (actually helping--not hindering, which was a pleasant surprise) and hung it up for her. It was so cute to see him taking care of her. They had a great time fixing things, driving cars, chasing each other across the house, and who knows what else. (Yes, I was watching but I still have no idea...). There were of course some bumps (mostly Lily) and taking of toys (mostly Sam), but I am always amazed at how well they get along. After a collision between Lily's head and our wall, Sam reenacted the incident for me. He then brought Lily her juice and gave her hugs until she was distracted from her tears.
Who knew toddlers could really have friends?
