You may know Natalie's imaginary friend, Wilba.  Well,

there was an article in Parenting on imaginary playmates

with this picture.  I showed it to Nat and asked her if this

is what Wilba looked like and she said, "YES, that's Wilba!" 

The girl even looks like Nat!

Goodbye, Blue Truck.  Sniff, sniff.

We'll miss you!

Goodbye!
