Allie's friend "Polk-a-Dot"

Just had to share a little story about Allie's first week at school. On the first day of school, I asked who she played with on the playground. "Polk-a-Dot" was her reply. (imaginary friend? Ashlie's imaginary friend is "Friend the Snake", so anything's possible, right?) I questioned her about her friend's name, and finally deciphered that Allie didn't know her name, but she wore an outfit with Polk-a-dots, so Allie gave her a new name. I encouraged Allie to ask her friend her name, . . .

Next day after school, I asked Allie who she played with. "I played with Polk-a-Dot again!" Did you ask what her name was, hon?" "I can't remember what she said, but it's okay. She's just Polk-a-Dot."

Fast forward to Allie's last morning of preschool for the week (Thursday), and when I walked Allie into her classroom I was on a mission to find Polk-a-Dot. After talking to her teachers, they guessed that Polk-a-Dot was actually Aaliyah (who wasn't there on Thursday for us to absolutely confirm) LOL, it's so darned cute, if Aaliyah doesn't mind being called Polk-a-Dot, I think I'll just let Allie call her that!

LOL!!! Natalie's best friend is "the girl in the pink shirt." We did eventually get the friend's name. :)
