Bestest Buddies

So Cameron is a pretty shy kid.  Unless you get to know him, and on his turf - then its a totally different ball game. But in general, he's pretty shy.   


And I started noticing I would see him in school doing a lot by himself, and not really playing with the other kids.  It made me sad to see, and to be honest, kind of concerned.  I didn't want my son to the be the "loner" in class.  Chad of course said I had nothing to worry about.  And that he had seen him playing with other kids all the time.  But until I saw it with my own eyes, I didn't believe it and had been worried about it.  


Until last Monday.  


Cameron's teacher told me about his "best friend" at school.  I was on cloud 9 to think my little man has not only made a friend, but a BEST friend.  So that night on the way home from school I asked him about it.  He told me that his best friend's name is Kayvan, and that they do EVERYTHING together.  I was so excited and told him how cool it was that he has a best friend.  He just sat and smiled.  :)


Since then, I have snuck up to the classroom window to take a peek before I go in, and have seen them playing together.  It melts my heart every time.  


A couple days later, I noticed another little boy in their class, Greyden.  He had been happily greeting us at the door, shouting "Cameron!!!", everyday.  So I asked Cameron about this new friend the other night.  He said to me, "me and Kayvan and Greyden are bestest buddies, mommy".  


So this morning, Greyden greeted us with his normal shout.  And Kayvan got up from the table to come say hi to Cameron.  Cameron and Kayvan stood and chatted (about what, none of us will ever know lol) for a few minutes while I talked with the teacher about potty training progress.  I glanced over and saw Cameron was putting his hat on Kayvan.  They were smiling away and having a blast. 


When I left the classroom, I stopped at the window to wave goodbye to my little man, like I do every morning.  And there sat Cameron, Kayvan and Greyden, smiling, all waving back at me.  As I walked away Cameron looked at Kayvan and smiled.  


And I couldn't help but notice the ear to ear smile I had on myself.
