Fun times with friends

Alyssa has a friend, Keira, that means the world to her. She lives right next door to us and Alyssa plays with her just about every day of the week...a dream come true for me: to have another stay-at-home mom live next door with a girl about the same age as mine. Unfortunately, Keira is going to be starting school this fall and Alyssa has to wait for the following fall because of her mid-October birthday. I cringe at the thought of losing Alyssa's daily playmate and constant source of fun times....now that she has learned how much fun the kids her age are, I don't think momma will be able to compare.
