These pictures make my heart smile.  I know both of these children well.  And watching them holding hands and giggling as they play together outside is truly important not just to them, but to their caregivers as well.  Friendship is often a happy byproduct of the work that we do with families.  Children and families learn to lean on and love one another is a way that takes no prodding.  #Bless the little children [caption id="attachment_7755" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Jia Jia (left) is generally shy and reserved.
