Bon-Voyage Friends...

What happens to your imaginary friends when you outgrow them? According to Peter, they go on a 1000-year vacation on the other side of the world!

Last week we asked Peter about his beloved friends, Jogger (the 100-year old man who likes to run a lot), Kanada (specifically a girl, spelled with a “K”), Diver, and Baseball. We hadn’t heard from them in quite some time. These friends have been through thick and thin with us over the years. They had birthdays on our family calendar--we even had a birthday party for Jogger a few years ago, complete with a personalized cake and family members in attendance! (Peter realized that no one in the family had a June birthday, so why not Jogger?) In a way I really miss them. But it’s also fun to move on to new adventures now. And who knows? Maybe Clara will have a new friend soon…time will tell.

In the meantime I hope Jogger, Kanada, Diver, and Baseball don't get captured on the high seas by Peter's latest birthday buddy:

Wow the girls have never had any imaginary friends! I guess that may be another change adding a boy to the mix, right?

M-3 realized that Peter's birthday was coming up, so I asked her when it was! She had to think for a while to get it! There is a reason we call him your birthday buddy!
