That’s a perfect description. She’s a kind, innocent little person with a big heart and a big imagination. Sometimes the line between imagination and fact is a little fuzzy, but I don’t think it has the intent of a lie. They’re just stories...

Ha that line is really blurry sometimes. I told my kid that I fly to work, thinking he'd do that sideways glance nose-scrunch thing and realise it was a fictional story quite easily: instead he got worried that I shouldn't fly too high.
I suggested I could tunnel like a mole instead, but apparently that's ridiculous!
It's cute when kids with their not-yet-developed brains to it, but when adults do it pathological lying, narcissism, psychopathy, or various other personality disorders.
This is a good point and it’s one that I try to be mindful of. At this point, it’s age appropriate but at some point we’ll start talking about consequences, truth and lies.
The strangest part of parenting is how quickly time flies. A little over four years ago, I sent my parents pictures from the first ultrasound. Today, the baby in the ultrasound is sitting here, eating an orange and watching My Little Pony. It’s been years, but it feels like minutes...
It’s wonderful but it goes by too fast and there’s a heck of a lot of responsibility crammed into a short number of years.
Ah, but which pony is best pony? ;)
