Alice still talks about Aina. Pretty much every day. The problem is, she uses Aina so casually now that I forget to write it down. Alice asks a question, I answer it, then she tells me Aina's experience with that topic, which is almost always totally opposite of Alice's experience.
For example:
"Mom, why do the signs say 35?"
"Those are the speed limit signs. They tell us how fast we're allowed to drive on this street."
"What happens if you go too fast?"
"Then I'm breaking the law and I could get a ticket."
"Aina went too fast. She got a ticket for going too fast. Are you going too fast?"
"Nope. Just right."
No more of those awesome fantasy worlds filled with detail :( Then again, that's probably because I don't ask for details anymore. There's not one "why?" or "tell me about..." in that whole conversation. I'll ask for more details the next time Aina pops up. I've actually been missing Alice's thought experiments a little. Now I have a theory as to why they've disappeared from our conversations. Woo hoo for blogging!
