Day 24

I've been on a hunt for some time.

Olive is in desperate need for a friend in our neighborhood that is also in her grade.

I am in need of a friend for Olive, in our neighborhood, in her grade that is also sweet and respectful.

It seems, that our "need" list is the equivalent of the Holy Grail. 

Thankfully, we have some good pals through church and school.

Then something magical happened.

I remembered a little girl name Rachel.

Yesterday, on a whim, I invited her over.

Talk about a pleasant surprise.

Not only was she sweet and respectful, she was also fun, and silly, and an equal playmate for Olive.

Easily impressed by crafts, walkie-talkies, and popcorn, Rachel just might be perfection.

(Did I mention she put all the toys away without me even asking?)

I  am trying not to jinx this little friendship, but I am wishing and hoping it works out.
