My 2 year old sister started talking to a boy named "Cala" about a month ago. It's the weirdest thing, and everyone I've told says that usually 2 year olds don't have imaginary friends. That's what I thought also, that was more of a 5 year old thing. But it gets weirder.
My mother had an abortion in early September due to complications, I can usually tell if someones having a girl or a boy and I was SURE my mother's was a boy. It was the day after the procedure my sister started talking to "Cala".
She was sitting on the floor with her toys and she turned her head to the side and started talking, a complete conversation. I asked who she was talking to and she said "I talkin' a Cala". I was a little confused so I asked who Cala was and she said "Calas a lil baby boy".
Since then, she talks to him ALL the time. She'll be talking to me and stop to answer someone who's not there.
What are your thoughts on this?

And just so you all know, I don't believe in abortion either.
My mother made a hard decision, I support and love her no matter what.

When my stepmother died, my niece, 2 at the time, would have "Nana" dreams and talk to her, too. Your sister could maybe sense the baby. It got weird to the point where my niece said, "Nana said I need the purple necklace for my 'cital." My step mom had left her a bunch of necklaces in her will and one was a necklace with a tanzenite stone in it and Kate had NEVER seen or heard of it. She had no clue Nana left her anything but a stuffed animal. She woke up at 3 am and ran into my sister's room asking for the necklace and insisted she get it. So, little kids have weird connections!

Ignore the comment about abortion not being right. What an insensitive thing to say! Nobody has the right to judge your mother for her decision.
Some people do believe that kids can see spirits. My mother told me that I used to talk about and point to a white lady when I was around 2. My sister had an imaginary friend at about the age of 2 or 3, called pewey. We would have to set a place at the table and even stop the car in the middle of the street if we forgot to let him in the car. The more we accepted it without question, the less she needed him and then he was never mentioned again. Kids can sometimes invent an imaginary friend in times of stress too. They need someone for comfort and support at this age and as they cannot express themselves like we canan imaginary friend would fit the bill.

I've heard about imaginary people and children. I've also seen babies react to empty space. I don't know for sure...and no one can...what is going on. But I can tell you the things I've heard and you can weigh each idea on its own merit:
I've heard that babies and young children who are pre-verbal can see the spirits of loved ones and angels.
I've also heard that young children who have "imaginary friends" are actually talking to a familiar spirit/demon.
I've heard that young children cope with stress in different ways. When a young child can't handle the amount of stress around them, they internalize those feelings and they can be expressed though an imaginary friend.
The timing is what is getting me. I don't know what is true. But I do know that your sister is very likely talking to someone who is real to her. Have you tried to ask questions meant for Cala and have her "translate"? Does she know you can't see Cala? Has she been more specific about his appearance?
All I know is, you definitely have something strange on your hands. If things get dangerous (things flying through the air, head-spinning...) contact a priest -- especially one skilled in exorcisms.

My daughter is 3 yrs old right now she has an "invisible friend" named Ericka who she has expressed to hubby & I that died...She's had Ericka as an "invisible friend" for about a lil over a year now.It isn't the norm like you said for 2 yr olds to have them it is more of a 4-5 yr old stage.But she's more mentally advanced than most children in her age bracket...I wouldn't say that your sister is speaking to your brother but I actually agree with cotoncandy on this.She may just be reacting to the emotions of those around her during the time of the event...Not to say she isn't talking to someone it may have been the event that caused her to speak to "Cala" but "Cala" may not be the event if that makes sense...
Good Luck With It,
M.G

Sounds to me like little sister knew what was going on. 2 year olds don't usually have imaginary friends, but it's possible. My son started having one named "Dude" at the age of 3 1/2. "Bud" showed up right after my divorce. Abortions are emotional, she probably picked up on some of the emotional behavior.

I don't know of a single 2 year old that has an imaginary friend. Sounds to me like your sister is talking to her baby brother's spirit.

I think young children are in touch with things that are there that we can't see anymore. It's possible it is the baby she's talking to. There is so much we don't know yet that we may learn at some time. This may be one. That young children aren't filtered from what is unseen.

They say children see what we can not anymore. The reason for this is alot of it is supressed out of us. Your sister mabey talking to your baby brother. I suggest you keep an eye on her and see what goes on around her when she is talking to him. If weird things happen later on, it might be a spirit that is posing as your baby brother to get to your sister. If so talk to someone about it.

I've worked with children all my adult life, and I truly believe that children can see things that we don't (or can't). My oldest daughter talked regularly to my ex-fiance after he passed away (she was 3 at the time). Children are more open to influences that adults have become accustomed to ignoring. Their "sixth sense" is more aware than ours. I totally believe it is possible that your daughter is talking with a spirit... but that is because I've heard the conversations my older daugther had with my ex.
