Eliza came over to me and said, "Lauri can you help me, Lily is mad at me and I am sorry." So we went to find Lily...She was sitting on the rug with her hands over her face. I told Lily, "Eliza came over to me and told me she was sad because you are mad at her. Eliza went on to say that she did not treat you fairly and she would like the opportunity to make things right with you." Lily and Eliza looked at each other and Eliza said, "What do you want to be Lily?" Lily did not answer her right away. Previously Eliza told Lily she had to be the sister and Lily actually wanted to be the brother in their "play sequence".
Then I asked the girls ,"How can we work things out?" Eliza said, "Lily you don't have to be the sister you can be who you want to be. I'm sorry." Lily said, "Okay I will be the brother." Eliza's friendship with Lily was far more important than telling Lily who she should be in their "play sequence".
Like in The Sandwich Swap in that moment Eliza's friendship with Lily was far more powerful than their differences.
I am very impressed that they were able to work it out. Such good problem solving!
