Thank for your replies. It's funny that you mention the speaking thing Nadine because his daycarers think it could be that because a lot of the kids don't speak well yet, and he gets to babble to this 'friend' that it's a release of the pressure from having to constantly try to communicate. At home he'll go into looong spiels of non-sensical babble to his dad, and his dad always humours him and pretends they're having a proper conversation. I wonder if he's made this 'friend' up because he doesn't get that sort of interaction at daycare.
The carers have reiterated that he gets on with other kids like a house on fire (one of my concerns) and that he has a real best friend, a boy named Tristan, and they hang out together. So whether it's just his overactive imagination, or someone he can 'talk' to who actually understand him, I don't know.
Lol at the chicken!!! And Capilano Honey! Loooove that name! Lol!!
ETA must have posted at the same time Fionas. I had an imaginary friend growing up too and I think he just went away after a while, too. I can't remember what exactly happened. Maybe he immigrated to the another country? LOLOL!
