Lina (or "Lola" as she should be known as) has gained an imaginary friend.
HER name is "Alexander", I thought at first she meant "Alexandra" but she insists its "Alexander" even though she's a girl.
They're the same age although Alex has brown hair and eyes and they're "bestest everer friendses Mummy!".
So there she sits chatting away in her little voice to her friend, they talk about everything... even the weather and no one else can see her except Angelina - no not even Heather, who is finding this increasingly frustrating because she swears she can see her too.
I'm not too worried, I know many children have imaginary friends... Jake even chats to his playstation (yes..thats weird!) and Heather just talks to herself really...lol.
She hasn't taken too long to work out that she can blame her new found invisible friend for all the naughty things she does too. She made sure to tell me that its Alex who never puts the toys away and its Alex who turns off the plug socket switch that has my alarm plugged into it (she keeps making everyone late for school and I have to explain that my 3 yr old's imaginary friend cut the power to the alarm... its not fun) and apparently its Alex that likes to use a whole roll of toilet paper to wipe her teeny imaginary butt on too....
I may have to find a way to make Alex pay for it too.
So Jake has decided that his youngest sister is in fact Lola from "Charlie and Lola", the kids programme on CBeebies and I have to admit there are striking similarities!! Anyhow, he's decided to call her Lola from now on and it seems it may be beginning to stick... poor kid!!
I think I might have to hide the Charlie and Lola books before she gets any worse!!!
