It is supposed to be Michael the Marble, but Kaelan can't pronounce marble yet and always calls it 'narball'. Which I think is just adorable, because it's his last baby word that he still uses. All else has been corrected and he is on his way to speaking the King's English. Sad, isn't it?
Anyway, Michael the Narball is Kaelan's imaginary friend. He is a giant marble with arms and legs. As near as I can figure, he does all sorts of things--he tags along with us whenever he gets a whim to, and I've tucked him in bed, fastened his seatbelt, and given him hugs. I was warned, however, not to squeeze too hard because little marbles will come out if I do. Also, Kaelan told me that Michael the Narball drives a really huge monster truck that goes super-fast.
I will point out that Kaelan came up with Michael the Narball all on his own, which I find delightful because it's about time there was another one in the family with a good imagination!
To date, Michael the Narball has been helping Kameron walk and making funny faces at him to make him laugh. What a nice imaginary friend, getting along with the baby brother so well!
If I could only draw well, I know exactly how Michael the Narball would look...
