When Lucy is upset she likes to imagine everyone she loves surrounding her. For instance, when she gets a shot at the doctor's office, we list all of the people who love her - mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles, cousins - to get through the ordeal. The other night I enforced a consequence she didn't see coming. She burst into tears and was truly upset.
Lucy: "I want everyone in the whole family to be with me."
Me: "Well, Dad and I are right here."
Lucy: "Not from THIS family! I want my imaginary family!"
Oooo ... burn.
