maggie

Over the past few days, Eli has had a new friend.
Her name is Maggie.
She is invisible.
Imaginary.
Not real.
But to Eli, she is very real.
She is small, as she fits in the palm of his little hand.
Sometimes she is a baby, sometimes she is big.
Unprovoked, Eli will say...
"Look! Maggie's here!"
He will pick her up off of the ground
and put her in my hand.
He will talk to Maggie.
And hug her too.
Too cute for words.
