Hi all, I think i might be being a bit PFB, and I would welcome you to confirm this, but I noticed something this morning that made me feel a bit sad and just need to chat about it really. On the walk to school this morning we DS and I bumped into a child who DS is convinced is his 'best friend' - we'll call him Dave. Dave was walking with his older brother and another kid from reception and their parents. Dave is quite a 'streetwise' little chap, almost 5 whereas my DS has only just turned 4, and he really wasn't all that bothered about my DS and was more interested in the other two, but my DS kept running after him and kept looking back at me smiling and he was just like a little puppy that kept being ignored. They were the same once we reached the playground. My DS isn't as fast at running as the other two and it just made me feel a bit sad for him that they weren't that bothered about playing with him when he is so clearly smitten (obviously i know they are kids and i honestly dont hold it against them). I just felt really sorry for DS, mostly because he was so oblivious he just kept running after them when they were trying to shrug him off.
