Chloe has made a friend at swimming lessons. She only sees her for half an hour every week but they link arms in the pool, hold hands, jump up and down together, whisper in each other's ear. It's always funny to watch from the viewing gallery! Although sometimes I wish she'd focus a bit more on the swimming!
Sometimes it would be nice if adult friendships were like this. If we could accept each other so quickly and enjoy just being together. It would be refreshing not to have so much formality when we first meet someone. I love the enthusiasm Chloe has for her friends and the excitement of sharing things with them (I'm thinking particularly about the discovery of a snail in the playground yesterday and all these little faces crowding around her to look). I miss these intense little friendships.
