danny & i were watching tv and layla came running into the den, pulled down her pants, flashed us, "HEY EVERYBODY!!", laughed and ran out of the room!
we were driving in the car and layla was on her cell phone and i heard this conversation:
layla: "phillip! i told you not to call me anymore! what?! you're at the bouncy house place? with your kid?! when did you get a kid?? phillip, i just can't talk to you anymore. i gotta go, i'm getting a text from stacey. goodbye phillip."
i don't know phillip or stacey and i don;t text or even talk on a cell :)
i always here about kids and their imaginary friends but ella has never had any. layla on the other hand has a whole other life she tells me about! this is what she told me not too long ago:
"mommy, i have a red house i used to live in, in heaven. i had a baby brother and sister but they didn't call me layla - they called me anna. and then one day i saw you and daddy sitting on your couch and i said i wanted to be part of your family. so i came to live with you and daddy and now i am in the brindisi family. but i'm kind of sad because i can't remember my other family that much anymore - i don't even remember their names!" -- what do you say to this, really?!?! i told her i was very happy she was in our family :) in many conversations now, she'll tell me, "oh yes, mommy, we used to do that at my red house in heaven!" i try not to make a big deal about it but it's a little un-nerving to me at times :)
