Goshi

For several months now, Tim and I have noticed Emma talking about "Goshi." We thought she was referring to one of her dolls or something like that, but Tim finally figured it out this weekend. Emma has an invisible friend named Goshi. Way adorable. Goshi holds Emma's hand, sits in her lap, and plays with her toys. After Tim and I had the ah ha, an invisible friend light bulb moment, we now know that Goshi is a girl, has brown hair, likes to wear sweaters, likes to go to parties, and is 23 years old. Emma talks to Goshi (sometimes shortened to "Gosh") throughout the day and keeps Tim and me informed about what she is doing. Yesterday, Emma told us Goshi couldn't eat her eggs for dinner because they were too hot. Honestly, this invisible friend play is really one of the cutest things I've seen.

That is so funny, Tara. My friend, Rachel's little boy had an imaginary friend too. He was a dinosaur that lived in his mouth. When he'd come out to play, he'd walk on the ceiling! Write down some of her cute imaginary friendship events... maybe you could write a children's book about a girl named Goshi! ;) Love it.
