wild imaginations

kaetlyn's age is so much fun. it is very entertaining to listen to her playing... creating scenarios with her cars, dinosaurs, or lizards. mommies and daddies, and timeout sessions for items that are not behaving. :)

last night though it took 1.5 hours to get her to bed. craig and i alternated shifts with attempts and after much fuss i finally got her to cave. she was talking about her 'daughter named uncle.' he was her daddy too. she said she missed him so much. i brought her all her dolls - you know, her daughters - but these were not what she was looking for... she told me she missed him so much because he was at his house, but he lived with her too... in her jewelry box.... oh yeah, and he talks... what an amazing daughter uncle is!

i'm very much paraphrasing this very weird conversation. i finally got to the point where i just started to agree with her and deduced that she was referring to some sort of imaginary friend.... but after the event was over and i layed down next to craig, i couldn't help but ask him, "think uncle is her imaginary friend, or is she possessed?"
