School friend

Louka has a new best friend.

Last week when we were nearly home from school, I heard "Louka, Louka!" from a little girl walking with her mum and dog. Louka immediately ran over to the other girl and started showing her around our front garden. But the girl and her mum were on their way to a café. Both girls then begged for Louka to be allowed to come too, so off we all went. After afternoon tea we all continued home with the little girl (I'll call her A). A showed Louka her bedroom and playroom, then wanted food. So A's mum (I'll call her T) put out watermelon and other fruits for the two girls. We didn't get away till nearly 6 o'clock.

Next day they met again at school pick-up time, scootered home together and stopped at our place. They played in the park and in Louka's room, again till nearly 6 o'clock. Next day, T didn't want such a late afternoon so A was not allowed into our house, but the girls played in the park for about an hour.

Since then, we see them every morning and every afternoon, on the way to and from school.
