Friendship crisis

We are facing a crisis here! A real honest to goodness Kindergarten friendship crisis.

Jada is Bailey's best friend and has been for a long time now. They have played together seemingly forever. Last year they were in preschool together, and had playdates every week almost. They go to school together, church together, swim lessons together, sleep overs,.... We even car pool everyday. I take the girls and Dillon and Jada's sister Raquel to school in the morning and her mom brings everyone home in the afternoons.

A few days ago I noticed something shocking. Bailey was getting angry at Jada for talking to her in the car. What? Bailey said some rude things. Raquel and I immediately told her to stop that she could not talk to Jada like that!

This morning, it happened again.

Then when we climbed into the car after school today (I drive home if I sub that day), Bailey started to scream and cry about having to sit next to Jada again. WHAT?
What is going on?

We got home and talked about it again, how she could not talk to her friends that way, especially Jada! Then some things started falling into place. They are starting to make friends outside of their little clique. Some days Bailey is left out during play time, and other days it is Jada. This week obviously was a Bailey left out week, and she is angry.

Our first little girl friendship crisis. By next week, I'm sure all will be forgotten.
