The start of a friendship between toddlers is sweet to watch. Sitting side-by-side studying one another with frequent glances and exchange of vocal sounds...being careful not to move too close to one another. As their comfort level grows they ease into "mine," and "no!"...as in "don't touch anything that I want, and if you do you're taking your life in your hands, because if a grown-up's not looking, I won't hesitate to give you such a push!
