Some kids have imaginary friends. My girls have a family of imaginary spiders. These spiders have been a part of our lives for about a month now. They live under the rocking chair in the living room, eat real food the girls set out for them on the table, and always go with us when we leave the house. Kayden is in charge of the spiders and she has informed me that there are 20 of them. Yesterday at lunch the girls told me the spiders would not be going to Disney World with us but that they would be staying home to protect the house while we were gone. The girls are apparently afraid our house will catch on fire and the spiders will be able to help with that somehow. Today, as we were loading up the cars, Kayden told me that the spiders now have their own car and it attaches to the back of our car.
I'll make sure to keep you updated as the spiders continue to be a part of our family.
2/5 Update: This morning Keeley cried at breakfast and on the way to school because she cannot see the spiders. Kayden told her that if she couldn't see the spiders, they wouldn't listen to her and wouldn't ride in her car seat. Prior to becoming a mother I had no idea the drama that imaginary things could create!
