The Birth Of Jessie

Maya has had a friend named Jessie for awhile now. She would mention that Jessie said this, or she does that. Some details like she has lots of brothers, and she lives in the country would come out from time to time. This Jessie girl was starting to actually comeup quite often in conversation. We thought perhaps she attended school with Maya or maybe she knew her from Awana. The details just didn't make sense though, until one day I asked Maya if Jessie was real or pretend.

Turns out our little Maya has an imaginary friend. Turns out that Jessie has made quite an impression on Maya. Turns out that Jessie's parents died so all of her brothers and all of her sisters have moved in with us. There are seven of each, The boys sleep with me and the girls sleep with Maya. Jessie goes to school on a school bus, so sometimes Maya has to wait on the porch for her to get home. Jessie must be older cause she has done everything and has much wisdom to share with Maya. 'Jessie says...' is a typical statement coming from Maya.

Jessie is alot of fun, we are including her in all of our activities, it is just to much fun not to.
