England

Dekker doesn't have an imaginary friend like most kids, he has an entire imaginary life. It all started in January. He started talking about how things were in England when he lived there. At first we thought he was talking about Calgary, but he kept bringing it up and we finally realized that it's not Calgary or Raymond or California or Arizona (all the places he would remember going to). 

As far as a fake life goes, it's pretty good. He has 2 moms, which made me a bit nervious until he told me he has 2 dads too. He also has 5 brothers and 2 sisters. They all have rhyming names that change every time you ask him.  One day when he was bothering Hazel I was saying to him "Dekker you only have one sister, you need to treat her nice."  To which he replied "But mom - I have my sisters in England!" Touche! 

He has a pool in England, but it's not a cold pool like we have here, its a warm pool (i think he means hot tub?).  He has WAY better toys in England, and his Moms and Dads are always nice to him.  I can't remember all the details of his life in England, but if you ask him in the summer I'm sure he will tell you all about it.  We have totally just played along with it because what else can we do? I wonder if thats bad.  I do think it is pretty cute that his imaginary life is in the place where Kyle served his mission.  I also think that if we believed in reincarnation, that Dekker would be our proof.

Here is Dekker in fine form singing at the top of his lungs so that all the neighbors can enjoy the show.  "When I get older I will be stronger!" His favorite song right now.
