Sariah’s Best Friends
Aug
19
Sariah’s word of the week has been “my best friend”. It started on Monday after I talked to my twin sister on the phone. Sariah said “I miss my best friend Auntie”. She has had many best friends this week. While holding Miriam she said “I love my baby sister, she’s my best friend”, While snuggling with me she said “Mommy’s my best friend”, when I put Sariah in my bed to go for a nap because her and Bekah will not nap if they are in the same room she said “but Bekah’s my best friend. And every child she played with at the park became her best friend.
Those are all very cute. However, all yesterday morning she talked about her best friend “spider”, she mentioned that she rocked the sleeping spider in her hand and her and Bekah played with spider in the bedroom. I passed it off as an imaginary spider, However last night Sariah had a huge smile on her face and came up to me with something in her hand (I couldn’t really see it) and said “Here is Spider!” I jumped back and JJ went to go look at her hand and upon seeing that it really was a spider told her to put it in the garbage (It was dead, not sleeping). She did, but then climbed into lap in tears and through her sobs, said “my best friend is gone”.
Even though I was totally creeped out, I felt bad for her. There are a million other “best friends” I would rather her have than a spider. But it is sweet how loving she is to all creatures.

Awww … I’m glad I could be mentioned as one of her best friends. The spider would creep me out too, but that is a cute story.
