Friends.
Last night Max and Esme and I were outside playing soccer (kicking a ball) when our neighbor Jason came home. He called out hello to Max and asked him what he was doing. Max immediately looked sad and said "I don't have any friends." What he meant, of course, was that Jason's daughter Emily had not come out to play that evening.
About 30 minutes later we were back inside and there was a knock on the screen door. It was Emily hollering "Maxie!" (She's the only other person who ever calls him that.) When Max and I went to open the door she said "I'll be your friend Max." They spent the rest of the evening playing outdoors together.
