Imaginary friends came over to play

From having none at all, Grace developed a whole army of imaginary friends today….or at least a Micky Mouse Clubhouse worth of friends. This morning, Micky, Minnie, Donald, Daisy & Goofy all came over for Minnie Mouse's birthday (for which there was much cake baking). It is fascinating how suddenly there are these "real" people in her world. She holds them in her hand and takes them around with her.

We went to the shop to buy a few things and when we got there I realised that Mickey had come with. So Grace carried him up the stairs and then eventually put him down in the trolley with her. While I was paying Grace was playing on the train and someone came and took our trolley. Grace was a bit upset, because Mickey was still in the trolley. Off we went to search in the trolley's for Mickey – fortunately he was waiting there for us. When we got home she put Mickey & Minnue on the couch so that they could watch a DVD together. Fun times ahead with all these new friends.

Heard in our house today: 

"Grace, did you fart in here?"
"No."
"Then what is so smelly?"
"Mommy's balls."

That was a surprise answer.
