I had one and now Buggie does.
An imaginary friend.
Mine was Chickie.
Hers is Dolla.
Hubby did not have one.
So he is a little out of the loop.
He is not really sure how to encourage Buggie.
I think it is wonderful.
I have a VERY vivid memory of sitting in the bathroom {around 4 yrs old}
while my Mom was getting ready.
She went to throw a tissue in the toilet and KNOCKED CHICKIE IN!
And before I could tell her she had flushed the toilet!
Amazingly the next morning Chickie was back, but boy was I worried about her.
Buggie has not gone a day in the past month of so without mentioning Dolla.
Dolla goes in the car with us, "Mommy please buckle her in her carseat."
Dolla takes a bath with her "Momma Dolla needs her hair washed."
Dolla eats dinner with us "Daddy please cut Dolla's food."
And over the weekend I noticed Dolla began doing other things.
"Mommy Dolla made a mess with the Legos."
"Mommy Dolla left a cup of chocolate milk in your bed."
And today look what that sneaky Dolla did...
{this is my doll Beansie, Buggie loves playing with her and I love even more that she does}
Now we do not play on the stairs, only cause I have fallen down our stairs do to a toy.
Did you have an imaginary friend? Do your kids? Any funny stories?
