Priceless Moment #13: Alien Girl Friend...

"Alien GIRL Friend"

"Alien GIRL Friend" not to be mislabeled or confused as "Alien BOY Friend"  has become a firm and constant presence in our life this past month. I'm not quite sure what day she showed up or where she came from, but I can safely say she has NEVER left and I don't really see any signs of her leaving Bella's side anytime soon.


"Alien Girl Friend" goes everywhere Anabella goes, plays with Anabella, eats with Anabella, goes to school with Anabella, sleeps with Anabella and apparently even sleeps with ME.  When I asked Bella if  "Alien Girl Friend" gets squished when I roll over in my sleep, she confidently said "Oh no Mama, when you roll over - Alien Girl Friend rolls over too."


One day after a frantic, upset search of the house and no sign of "Alien Girl Friend" anywhere, we even had to call her Daddy to see if "Alien Girl Friend" was hanging out at his house.  Thankfully she was safely staying at Bella's daddy's house and that seemed to relieve her fear of "Alien Girl Friend" being lost. This was some SERIOUS business and there were even tears shed over the concern for "Alien Girl Friend's" safety.


A couple of days ago at about 10pm Anabella went up to her Auntie Robbie and asked her to turn on the computer for her.  When Auntie Robbie told her it was too late and asked why, she told her that it was very important and she needed to send an email to her "Alien Girl Friend".


Everything we do and everywhere we go, "Alien Girl Friend" is there.


Today, Bella's Daddy called me to tell me that Bella has informed him that her "Alien Girl Friend" is also a princess who has a Mommy and Daddy who don't live together either.  She told her Dad that her and her "Alien Girl Friend" are "the same".


Oh my....my heart broke and I smiled so huge all in one split second. From the mouths of babes.


Bless my little girl and bless her "Alien Girl Friend".


The good news is that "Imaginary Friends" are a common and positive trait amongst 3 year olds.  It's a sign of great creativity and imagination. Clearly this little Alien has arrived for a reason and seems to bring some form of happiness and peace to Anabella.  Wouldn't it be great if we could just imagine up our own special little friends who could bring along with them a sense of happiness and peace for OUR lives?  Oh in a perfect world.


Love my girl.
