Riley has an imagination that is so amazing to me. She now has an imaginary friend who is a small green monster. (Don't worry, it's a friendly monster, she assures me.) I think she is female, but Riley has issues with assigning gender to anyone...Daddy is sometimes "her" or "she" and her fish Quinkie appears to be a hermaphrodite. She/He is a different gender every time we talk to her/him.
I bring up the green monster friend because yesterday and today she has been very attached to her. She "held her hand" and tucked her in on the floor of her room before bed last night and tonight she fed her friend dinner...which helped Riley eat GREAT because after she fed the monster she ate to food she was "feeding"... even her meat! The monster even hides and Riley finds her, usually behind the chair in the living room. It's fun watching her imagination at work!
In other news today, I feel bad because i forgot my camera, so there are no pics of all this (or the Green monster for that matter). Riley and I and my sisters and kiddos and my mom had lunch at my grandparents place. Grandma made "goulosh"... I'm not at all sure how you spell that...and had "special chocolate milk" according to Zack. After that we went to my mom's for Riley to nap and then to the nursing home. I tried to wake Riley up for that part, but she was having none of that! I let her finish her nap while Meg and Adrienne and I went to see Lois and A-dee wore her costume for a little holiday fun. Then back to get the kiddo. Whew! That was a busy day for us!

Perhaps this is just her subtle way of letting you know she's a Red Sox fan.
