Today, Sophia woke up with her new short haircut and an imagination that surprised me. She dressed in a yellow dress and put on a pink sweater, then found her bright red "clicky" shoes to finish her outfit. I'm thinking she's kinda like me :) I love to dress up and she does too.

As we were getting in the car after a quick breakfast, she sat in her carseat and looked out the window. She waved and said : "Bye Evie, Bye Pepper." I asked her who Pepper and Evie were and she rolled her eyes at me and smiled. "It's my kids mom" Her exasperation was evident in the long sigh that finished the eye-rolling statement.

Of course, why would I have not guessed that at 7:30am, she would be already playing make-believe and these two new names would obviously be her kids.

Evie

Pepper

I've never heard her say these names, nor have I heard them on any of the disney movies that she likes nor any books that we've read. hmmm.... I wonder where my little dress-up queen got this idea.

As I thought back to my other girls, I remembered that Penelope was Bella's name for everything. I'm not exactly sure what Cecelia's was... but I'm sure she had a "name".

So, what were your names? Did your stuffed-animals, dollys or imaginary friends have names?
