For the last year, Rachel has talked about marrying a little boy who used to be in her preschool class named Keller. Rachel has the whole wedding planned -- including what candy, cookies, cakes, and healthy food will be served and who gets to wear gloves and who doesn't. She can honestly talk about this with us for an hour when we go on walks or drive in the car. While Keller is a real boy, he is also an imaginary friend for Rachel. We constantly hear about Keller's heroics. He teaches Rachel everything. He saves her from all the conflicts that she gets into on the playground with her friends and classmates. This is despite the fact that the real boy named Keller is mostly oblivious to Rachel in real life. Like most males, Keller has no idea about the planning and plotting Rachel is doing.
Last week when we were leaving preschool, we ran into Keller in the hallway. In order to prove to Rachel's brothers and sisters that he is a real boy, I took a picture of Keller and Rachel together. Here is the result.
