Beana

For a couple years now we have heard about Caroline's imaginary friend, Beana. Beana has blond hair and blue eyes and is maybe 6 inches tall. This morning Caroline told me that she likes to play with Lucy but that Lucy tries to eat her. Hmmm.

Sometimes Beana comes on errands with us. Caroline will have her hand outstretched like she is carrying her around.

For the last couple of nights as Caroline is fighting sleep she has come downstairs to tell us that for Christmas she would like an itty bitty pack n play for Beana to sleep in.

Last night on our way home from church she was talking about Beana and Liam kept telling her that she's not real. Caroline was getting very upset that her brother would talk that way about her friend. So she said, "I know she's not real! But she's my only friend!"

We reminded her that she has friends at the babysitters, at church and that we all like playing with her too at home. I hope that someday Beana will fade away once Caroline gets a little older. To be honest Beana kind of creeps me out.
