I'd asked awhile back about how many toddlers had imaginary friends and if it had any relevance to future personality/intelligence/creativity/whatever, or if it's just random. At the time, DD had created a friend named Gaga, who was sometimes one or another of her dolls, and other times completely imaginary.

Well, lately she's added a couple more friends! First there was Kunta (rhymes with fun-ta, not with moon-ta, couldn't figure out how else to spell it to make it obvious lol), and the last couple days there's also been Koola-Lala. It's fun coming up with spellings for these lol...

Anyway, just a few minutes ago she was even saying "Gaga, Kunta, and Koola-Lala, they are my friends!" So it's not just something we've misinterpreted either lol... Last night she had Koola-lala in the bath with her. I haven't actually met Kunta yet, but DH has "seen" her often.

I'm wondering how soon we're going to have a whole circus of 'friends' here!

We used to travel by convoy. There were at least two other cars full of imaginary friends at all times.

My now 21 year old had an imaginary friend, a dragon, for years. When he was about seven he made a brochure advertising his imaginary dragon friend. It had drawings and information about the dragon, where it lived, what it liked to eat, and all the fantastic things it could do. I remember that he wrote "If you believe in Jesus, you can also believe in [the dragon's name]!"
