Truly, the imagination of little ones is so fascinating. Some days, it brings about snickers & smiles (well, most days) and other days it may bring out an eye roll…but almost always I am a bit envious of it. There is such a magic to their minds. They’re not limited by the realities of the world, they see the world as limitless. I’ll have another glass of that, please.
My abi-girl hasn’t had an imaginary friend (yet!) but she does take amazing travels. She has been to almost every place that Donald & I have been (and many places we’ve talked about going!)…she mostly visits these places “when you’re out on a date; I went there with my Mimi & Grandpa Zo” or “oh yes, Nanny & Grandpa have taken me there when you were running an errand.” It is awesome. Some of the details she gives are hilarious – others I’m somewhat taken aback because of how closely she was listening when I didn’t think she was! Oh goodness.
The places my girl has gone:
She’s visited the alps (told this while watching The Sound of Music during family movie night)
(from D’s amazing Europe adventure with dear friends during 2004)
She’s been to China (discovered when we were talking about abi’s special pearls that D brought her back from 2010)
(visiting the Potter fam in 2008 – I mean technically, she has been there…pregnant with Abi)
She took a trip to the Great Lakes – we talk about these quite a bit, so I’m not exactly sure what prompted her personal story…
Oh my abi – may your imagination continue to thrive…and may your sweet self get to see the beauty that the world holds for you.
