Catherine

School started like a breeze for April, she fits right into the new school environment and with friends she already know, there is no transition period per say. Not so for another girl in her class named Catherine. Catherine cries almost everyday, asking for Mommy. Little that we know, until Catherine's mom approached Daddy when he dropped off April one morning, that April has being her daughter's emotional comforter since day 1. Whenever Catherine cries, April will go hug her until Catherine feels better. Her mom really appreciated April's help and invited her over to their house for a play date that weekend. And Catherine now sees April as her best friend.
What's funny to us, is little that Catherine's mom knows, April is such a whimper at home. She cries over every little things that doesn't go as she *expected*. Number of times she cries at home is way more than River. Every time she cries, not counting the times when she's fighting with River over a toy(obviously), River will go and hug her. My personal best guess is probably she learnt this from River and applied at school!
