Does your child have an imaginary friend?

When she was around four she had a whole cast of characters that moved through space with her. There was one special one for a while, never could figure out was DD was calling her, it was an unusual name.

It was a four-year-old phase though. Gone now. I miss that utter unconcerned innocence.

...as you can tell from her blog posts, though she knows very well that it's all in her imagination. She just likes telling the stories. (And yes, we're working on her spelling. That's what her blog is for--writing practice.) Lou's imaginary friend, who we don't hear from very often these days, is still Tippy-Toe, a "balleweena," who usually gets blamed for any naughty behavior.

Once we heard a song about someone's imaginary friend and his name was Nobody. Every now and then DD talks about her friend Nobody too. Although usually poor Nobody is sick and has to spend the day in bed.

When I was little I ran an orphanage for imaginary mice. Poor things. To be small, alone, and invisible. It was more than any mouse should have to bear.

My dd is an only child, she does not have an imaginary friend, she has imaginary siblings that she often "tattles" on. Waiting for her to outgrow this stage, lol.
