Oooh Oskar drives me nuts lately wanting to "go to someone's house"... he'll list through as I say no, they're busy or whatever I come up with lol.... then he starts on the "can so and so come to our house today?"... and list through... he just wants to be entertained all the time lol but then the next minute you turn around and he'll be off occupying himself and playing for AAAAAAGES on his own. I think it's all about awareness and aware of surroundings etc. Real friends? I don't think they "get" that yet. I think they see everyone as a potential playmate aka friend. I know at kindy (Oskar goes Wed) that they call everyone "friends"... the teachers refer to the other kids as "friends".
