I found this article about childs play to be interesting.

I guess I can stop worrying so much about Dd talking to herself all the time.

Yep, she will be in the back seat all by herself and having a fine argument...with herself. So I turn around and say "you girls need to quit arguing." It always cracks her up.

my daughter does the same thing, and she sings to herself a lot...especially when she's mad and Ryan and I. Her life is a musical most days...lol

Oliver likes to bang his head on the floor. Apparently that's fun. It kind of worries me though. lol

Yep, when she isn't talking to her 'friends' she is a non-stop song bird in the car.

"Two turltled doves, three french hens, two turtled doves and a partridge in the pantry!!"

I keep telling her that would make four turtle doves but I guess she has creative rights on it.

Yep, she's a big singer too.... alll the time. She's also big on making up her own words.

Lissa, seems like Dd went through a thing like that for a bit too. I was like "sheesh, doesn't that hurt? Why the heck is she doing that??... STOP IT."

He bangs it against the dryer too because it makes noise. Then sometimes he cries. lol

My favorite made up word is "amn't"...as in "I amn't doing anything wrong" It's so funny we never corrected her, she started saying it at like 3 yrs old and still uses it...lol

Oh, I'm laughing so hard, I don't know how well I will do on the typing here.

Faith, last year during hockey season, used to make us bring all the chairs to the dinner table because her imaginary hockey team would come for dinner.
And now, she has an imaginary brother, who of course is the one who makes all the messes and is to blame when anything goes wrong in the house.

And many times, I will respond to Faith when she's talking and she'll simply say "Mommy, I wasn't talk to you, I was talking to my brother".

I'd love to be preoccupied with my imaginary friends!

When did we loose that - our imaginary friends and that world of our own? I want mine back and damn whoever took it away from me! Roar!

Well, even though it's a made up word, she has followed the rule

amn't - am not
aren't - are not
etc. etc. etc.

That's one smart cookie you got!

I can't send my 6 yr old to her room for a punishment b/c she can amuse herself with something as simple as blanket fuzz!!!
