Elijah just barely turned 2 in December and this week he created an imaginary friend. It is so hilarious to watch him. His friend is a mouse. We first noticed it when Grandma Jacqi and Elijah were sitting together and Elijah suddenly started talking about the mouse in the plant that was sitting next to them. He then started "putting" the mouse in a sack and trying to "find" it. Almost every day this week the mouse is hiding and being found by Elijah.
This morning Elijah was in bed with me talking and he suddenly picked up his dad's pillow and said "mouse in there?" Then he picked up the bed's comfortor and looked under it and said "is the mouse hiding in there?" He won't name the mouse but just wants to try and find it all the time.
This is not the first time he has created an imaginary animal. A couple weeks ago he was looking at our 8 foot tree and talking about a monkey that was in it and he mentioned it again a couple days ago. I'm looking forward to the next new animal that visits Elijah in our home.
