This just in:
Elsie's newest imaginary friend is named Karela (as in, care-la). Her old imaginary friends are Danyall (dan-yaal) and Emily.
I love my funny and fabulous little girl. Today she told me not to sing to Karela because Karela was sleeping and I had to be very very quiet not to wake her up. Danyall's house is in the lemongrass bush on the porch. Emily hasn't shown up in play for a while, but she's dead. Freaked me right out the first time Elsie walked into the room and declared, "Emily is dead!" But I don't actually believe in ghosts, so I got over it pretty quickly. Amazing to see the little ones absorb big concepts in little-person ways.
