Tell Us About Your Child's Imagination

I heard Maggie crying the in dark last night so I went in to calm her down. She sat up in bed and said "Mommy, I was in my imagination and there was an inchworm on Minnie's nose and it jumped on me."

Giggle. So magical to have a child articulate the concept of imagination -- to feel it so real, but know (kind of) that it's not. The lines between real and imaginary aren't fully developed in Maggie (nearly every night lately she looks out the window in hopes of seeing Peter Pan), but she's starting to develop some distinctions.

What has your child imagined? When could they tell the difference between real and imaginary?
