Our Little Princess

I've heard it is not unusual to have an imaginary friend. Most kids, it seems have a friend that is around their age, or their same gender that they play with and talk to just like a normal friend. Last week Jacqui's imaginary friend made it's first appearance. No, it's not a boy or a girl, it's a little monster. I met it while playing "dinner" with Jacqui in her room. She pointed out into the hallway and said "That's my little monster. Do you see it?" It has made a few more appearances since then. It showed up at the mall with us yesterday, running alongside Jacqui. She finally picked it up (I guess it was having a hard time keeping up with us). I've learned that it is pink, although I bet if I asked her again it would probably be yellow. Steven and I talked yesterday about what we thought it might look like. I imagined a small creature not unlike the "popple" I played with as a child (if you aren't familiar with popples, they are small, round stuffed animals that you could turn inside out and it made a ball, and right side out it looked like a hairy puff). Steven imagines it to look like a muppet, not unlike Elmo or Oscar the Grouch. Either way, we are excited about this new addition to our household and hope it remains friendly.
