Wild Imagination

Clara has a wild imagination. She has imaginary friends, tells crazy stories, and sets up elaborate pretend parties. Earlier this week she told me her friend "mouse" was sleeping in her tent, and when I asked to see him she said, "just trust me, mama." The other day she put together this tea party for her "friends" (otherwise known as imaginary animals), using kleenex as placemats and coasters as cookies. She also pulled out her camera to snap photos of the event. The best part is that she entertains herself with these make believe games for an hour or more.
