I’ve had to let stuffed BFF’s sit at the table a couple times, too. So sweet. I’m glad Meemo is tiny, so if he’s at the table he can just sit right up there by our plates. No chair needed. Ha.

My little guy is really into acting like a baby, too. I’m kind of indulgent, since he IS my baby and I can’t believe he’s almost 3! But it is still kind of odd…

The naked alien mask is now one of my favorite stories. 😉

My son doesn’t have imaginary friends but he has a tiger (stuffed) that he confides in.
He even eats at the dinner table sometime 😉

My girls have imaginary friends, Tonguey and Youngey (no idea), but they take on the lives of any random object — sticks, balls, scraps of fabric are ALL Tonguey and Youngey. They’re also very into ACTING like babies, although I’m sure it’s another realm of pretend, since Zoe is no longer a baby for them to feel like they’re competing with.

I will never forget when My niece was 3 and she came out naked with an alien mask on and everyone laughed at how cute she was. Then my husband’s youngest sister, then 7, decided she wanted some of the cute attention, so she came out naked too. It was like you could hear the proverbial record scratch.

That is so cute – I love that he’s protecting you all from the mice. And I have to say, when I was young the Nutcracker mice gave me the creeps. So he is very brave! 🙂

Oh, poor George #1. I’ve heard that many imaginary friends meet tragic deaths, which I find fascinating. Why do kids feel the need to kill of their friends, rather than just have them move away?

My girls had imaginary friends and I remember that Lauren’s was named George and one day he tripped and died. He was replaced by a new George and both were her husband.

Our current imagination streak has to do with mice, my son loves the Nutcracker so regularly wakes up in the morning to fight off a mice army in our living room so it’s safe for the rest of us.
