Friends

Socialization of a three year-old continues: Ivan has become aware of the concept of a "friend."

"He's my friend ... He's not my friend."
"'Elubody' is my friend."
"Allen's my friend."
"Are you my friend, mama?"

I know that the friend concept is something they talk about in daycare. I'm not sure he understand what that means. Maybe.

I've been asking him with whom does he play at daycare, but he goes mum. He doesn't respond. I don't know why. I guess he doesn't get the question (although "who did you play with" is pretty straight forward") or he plays alone, which I doubt.

And "the little white car had no friends so he had to go home to play with mama," he told me the other day about one of his cars.
