Well, my new friend and I got together today. Our original plan was for Steven and I to go to her house and swim, but their pool motor was being replaced today and the pool wasn't swimmable. Instead, she and her son came to our house to go on the slip-n-slide.
Over the phone, we determined that the boys have lots in common. But, it was reinforced when we saw them together!
Some things I noticed:
1. Her son was fearful coming through the front door. She explained he was looking for dogs because he is so afraid of them. Steven does the same thing!
2. Her son flicks his index finger on random things for the sensory input. Steven does the same thing!
3. Her son took my drink and immediately poured it down the sink. Steven does the same thing!
4. Her son was hungry for lunch at 9:30 because they had been up since 4:30. Steven does the same thing!
I think this could be the beginning of a nice friendship! Neither of us was bothered or self-conscious of our child's behavior. That is a nice feeling.
Her daughter is coming home from camp today and we would like to get the girls together soon. Hopefully they will have something in common. It would be fun to have some new family friends.

Hurray!!! It sounds like they will be good buddies. I am sure that is nice to have someone to relate to about everything.
