Ellie has had two make believe friends for months now. Their names are Emily and Allison and they are very much a part of our family. They drive, go to school, have jobs, dress up, go on trips, sleep with Ellie, etc. Every night at dinner as we are talking about our day, Ellie asks if she can tell us a story about Emily and Allison. A few weeks ago, Ellie told my mom that they are from Africa and now live off New Circle Rd. It is always something. I think the funniest thing about this whole situation is that I know that Ellie knows they are not real. She sometimes even laughs at herself when she is coming up with the crazy stories. I honestly think she just likes to hear herself talk and this gives her something to talk about. She MUST get that from her father!!!
I agree, I don't see how Ellie can get a word in with as much as Danny likes to talk! Yeah RIGHT! I'm thinking that that apple didn't fall far from the Momma Tree! :) I am just thinking about what a wonderful short story she is going to be able to create as a first grader! I love it!
ReplyDeleteShe is so creative... and smart! When I ask Austin about his day I always get the same answer of we ate and played. Maybe my girl will like to talk like Ellie.
