Maggie is a few months older than Sophia, in a way that feels significant now, but won't at all as they grow older.
They live about twenty minutes from each other, but get to spend a few hours together just about every week. Maggie was the first female name Sophia said (after Mama).
As soon as the girls see each other, loud giggles ensue.
The majority of Sophia's cousins and acquaintances are boys, so Maggie is one of her few female friends.
Maggie's Mama and I have learned not to tell the girls that they will see each other in advance if we don't want to be asked about it on five minute intervals.
As toddlers tend to do, the ladies often want to eat what is on the other's plate. However, they will also ask that some of their own food is put on the other one's tray.
Until I saw these two together, I didn't realize it was possible to have such a deep friendship at the age of 1. I don't know where Maggie and Sophia's paths will take them, but it is incredible to have the potential to be known by a friend starting with your first year of life.
