Reunited!

Audrey's boyfriends have moved on to the older toddler room, so she hasn't seen much of them lately. When I picked her up this evening, I saw that her boyfriend, Callen, was in the room with her. Audrey immediately got up from her seat on the floor beside him, started cleaning up her stuff (and others' stuff), but didn't say hello to her mom. Callen, on the other hand, let out a big, "HI!" Her teacher reminded me of their close relationship, which picked up today right where it had left off. She said that Callen's class had too many kids for the number of teachers this morning, so she asked Callen if he wanted to come next door with her for the day. He apparently didn't give her the time of day. Until, that is, she mentioned Audrey's name.

"If you come next door with me, you can play with Audrey all day??!!"

"YES!"

And they did just that. I guess they hung out in the corner playing with toys and reading each other some books. And, of course, having many conversations only they understood.

When Audrey took care of everything she felt needed to be cleaned up, she headed for the door with my keys, and said "Bye!" to her teacher, her class, and me. After two requests, she decided to allow me to tag along with her for the ride home. As we were leaving, I looked back and saw a big grin on Callen's face.

"BYE, AUDR-EEEEEE!"

They'll be reunited in a week. We'll see if they make it...
