Seth's first "girl" friend

Since a few months into the school year, we've been hearing about Bella from Seth. First they were best friends, and then there was some drama and she didn't talk to him for awhile (I was never really clear on why-it sounded like he got involved in some girl drama where Bella told Seth to ask Emma and Sarah something and then Bella didn't like the answer and blamed it on Seth. But Seth is hard to get information out of, so who knows.) Anyway, they are apparently friends again. Which, according to his teacher, may not be a great thing, since she said that Seth and Bella and another kid all feed off each other, but Seth can't reel it back in like the other two can so he ends up getting in trouble.

Well, it just so happens that Bella goes to our church. Today we were coming in at the same time as she and her dad were, so they just HAD to sit together. At first I thought it would be trouble, but her dad was pretty intent on making sure she paid attention, so Seth actually was too. I usually let him play with something because it's hard for the kid to sit so long, but Bella's dad wasn't down with her playing, so she and Seth followed along in her little mass book (the kids all got one last week). It was pretty cute. Especially when were driving away and he said, "I miss Bella already. Can she come to our house some time?"

I'm just so glad he's finally feeling like he has friends. For awhile, he was having trouble with that, but now it sounds like he's been playing with a few kids in his class. His teacher told me a while back that he would always hang out with her on her recess duty day, but when we talked the other night, she said he doesn't do that anymore. I just think now he thinks school is mostly about having fun and socializing. Sounds kind of like his grandpa. :)
