Our backyard neighbors have a granddaughter they have been watching everyday for the months of April and May. We recently started letting Ayden play out in the yard by himself, but it still makes me a little nervous. It's almost more work because I am constantly checking on him making sure he is there and not getting into trouble. One day Ayden was outside and the little girl and her grandma talked to Ayden. Her name is Ashley and she is about a year older (just turned 5). Her grandma was watching her everyday until Ashley's mom got done teaching for the school year. Ayden and Ashley became best buddies and she has a jeep she always drives around. The two of them would get out every toy in our garage to play with, ride around in her jeep, and play on her grandparents swing set. Ayden would talk about her all the time and want to play outside with her whenever he was inside. They had so much fun together. Now, Ashley is at home for the summer with her parents in Ankeny. It was a hard adjustment for Ayden with her not being around to play with anymore, but I'm sure she will be back to visit her grandparents sometimes and they can play some more. I know he is excited for preschool to start and hopefully he will make some more friends!
