Making Friends is Hard

It happens to all of us, and I knew it was coming for me, but I am so ill prepared to see my baby crying because of friends.  She came home tonight a bit tired, so that didn't help.  Before bed she told me that she didn't have anyone to sit with on the bus.  She said she asked a girl to sit with her but she ignored Avery.  I suspect that Avery whispered it and the girl didn't hear her, but still.  The tears came and she was so sad.

I did my best to tell her that she doesn't remember when she started at her previous school knowing no one.  Then we counted off all of her friends there that would scream her name excitedly to see her -- because they got to know her and how wonderful she is

Otherwise, school seems to be going well.  Lord help me to help her little aching heart.
