Imaginary Friends

Arielle made her first imaginary friends today...Dominick and Julian. These are the names of two boy characters in her current favorite movie, "Barbie Princess & the Pauper". Today Dominic and Julien came to play with her on her playground then were hanging out with her at the house and sitting next to us on the couch. She asks us to call her Erika and Annalisse (the girl characters) several times a day and gets very upset if you call her anything else. Wonder how long this phase will last?!?!
