Friends

Seth is the first friend that K has. The boys first met about one and a half years ago, in the void deck below my home. Seth was with Lay Keng, his mom, taking a walk about around the estate, while K and I were doing the exact same thing.

That was also the first time that the moms met one another and realised that our boys are of the same age, barely a month difference. And we found many more things in common with one another; we are staying in the same block, are stay-at-home-moms and Christians. Naturally, we clicked and the boys also warmed up to each other really quickly, considering they had a common affinity for observing ants at that point.

Ensuing our chance encounter with one another at the void deck, we met up frequently, sometimes twice a week for the boys to play together, while the moms would enjoy the fellowship with one another.

Seth's personality is a compliment to K's. He is this sweet natured, unassuming little boy, while K is that sociable and chatty friend that will always be asking Seth questions. They shared lots of discoveries in their nature walks together, laughter and enjoyed plenty of squeals while they amuse one another in their play. Don't need to guess who will always be the one who will be clowning around amusing the other, and the one who will always insist that they exchange their toy cars when they meet. For sure there will be times when either one will end up crying over their little squabbles, but both will be quick to forget and will be back playing happily with one another once more.

As K moves on to a new environment with school, I am certain that he will be able to make many friends along the way. However I do hope that he doesn't forget about his dear friend Seth. And I will be sure that the boys will still get to meet during the school holidays.
