So, my almost three year-old has a dog named Carla. We can't figure out if this is a story she read at school or a TV character, but apparently "Carla the Dog" is a member of our family now. She's quite interesting--pink with a pink and brown tail. She also has princess parties and wants snacks late at night.
Then there's "Princess Ariel," (not to be confused with the mermaid Ariel--I asked) whose hair is also pink and who also neds varieties of beverages and foods before bed--and must be dressed identicaly to G at all times ("But mommy, Ariel doesn't have on her pajamas yet!) sigghhhh...I can't decide if my child is creative or crazy. Anyone else?
Re: Imaginary Friends
DD has an imaginary sister named Cinderella. She's about 6 inches tall and always wears dresses. DD carries her around in her hand all the time.
We had her 3rd birthday photos taken the other day. She stopped the shoot because she left Cinderella in the changing room. She is a very important part of DD's family. Too cute!
met DH 1995 ~ married DH 2006 ~ completed our family 2008
Life is good!
DD1 has an imaginary friend named Wawa. He started hanging around about a month after DD2 was born, and now he's almost always with us. He recently turned 4, and he had a Wow Wow Wubbzy party at our house yesterday. But only pretend, of course, because when I suggested we use our M&D cake set to sing happy birthday, DD1 promptly informed me that he already had a Wubbzy cake and we were ONLY PRETENDING. lol.
Madelyn had one specific imaginary friend for a long time. She was starting to blame things on the imaginary friend so we started telling her that that particular friend couldn't come play anymore.
Now, she just says "my friends" and it's not a specific one.
My DD used to have an imaginary friend named Kenda who was just like her, but a year older. She was always around for about 6 months last year, but I think DD has grown out of it because we haven't heard about her in quite a while. DD just turned 5 last month.
