00:00When he saw her, he was just in love with her.
00:03They were very eager to meet each other.
00:07We chatted with our neighbors, but she was only nine weeks old,
00:11and our neighbors just wanted her to be a little bit older, so we had to wait.
00:15We got a calendar to mark the date that we could officially play with Cedar.
00:20We'd go straight to the calendar before he got his breakfast, before he went outside,
00:23and we would cross off one more day.
00:26When we first moved to our new house, Brinkley was missing all his old friends.
00:30So when Brinkley saw Cedar, he was just super excited to get to have a new friend next door.
00:34During our waiting period, we would try to keep his mind occupied.
00:37We would go to the beach a lot. It's his favorite place.
00:41But he was a little bit down.
00:43It made me really sad to see him sad, so it kind of became a calendar for both of us.
00:50When we would go out into the backyard, you could just tell that they both really wanted to play.
00:55Oh my gosh, you two.
00:57She's kind of getting stuck.
01:00I probably should have stopped it, but I was rooting for her to come over, too.
01:04And finally, the day came.
01:06Look, buddy. Oh my goodness. The day is here.
01:11You get to play with Cedar.
01:13Hey, Cedar.
01:14As soon as our neighbors let Cedar into the fence, they just went crazy.
01:20They're running around playing and just having the best time of their lives.
01:24It makes me so happy that he has a best buddy so close to him now.
01:27They already have lots of play dates planned.
01:31Their relationship gives some confidence that our move was definitely the best decision for him.
01:35Well, let's go.
01:36Have a great time.
01:45Yes.
01:49.
