My dd has just turned 4 and since the age of about 2 she keeps mentioning grandpapa she has never called and of her grandfathers this also 2 cildren called Katie and Andrew. I used to laugh and think they were her imaginary friends until we sat down on the living room floor prenteding to have a tea party but we could'nt start without Katie or Andrew so thinking that they were imaginary pretended to give them a sandwhich when she went mad and told me they were not there. I said OK and we waited for them after 5 minutes she looked behind her and said here they are we can start now. She also talks to them every night before going to bed, I have asked her if I can see them and she always says no but they can see me it could be me reading into it too much but she mentioned all the places that they go and where they have been and it is not the usual shops or anything that she watches, its big houses that she describes in alot of detail.

Also a couple of months ago dp's uncle passed away we explained to her that he had gone to visit the angels in heaven and left it at that but since then she has told me that he talks to her alot in head. She regually goes very quite (which is not like her at all) and that is when she says he is talking to her.

Is this all me being very silly and looking into things too much or something else.

Could be she has a very vivid imagination or could be she is seeing and hearing these things. I remember my friend saying that her ds kept going on about a man and a little boy in her bathroom. It unnerved her but i think this is common in young children.
What do your instincts say?

Insticts tell me that there is probably noting to it like you say a vivd imagination its just certain things that she comes out with. The thing that unnereves me is the talk of my dp uncle she was 3 when this happend and I think she was a little young to understand exactly what him passing meant.

She sounds very bright and very aware. It doesnt sound like you have anything to worry about.

hi snowhite, you don't have anything to worry about. young children are quite a lot more perceptive than adults are and it sounds like her grandad may well be her guardian angel and he is just chatting to her. my dd is very much like that and yesterday she told me that she could see her nanny "i see nanny, mommy". she is nearly two so i said go and give nanny a kiss then so she did - lifted her arms up and everything. and at same time - mom died 7years ago thios june. she will be fine - it is completely natural for her and with grandad looking after her - even better.
