Some developmental changes are gradual, slowly accumulating over time so that one night it feels as though you're compiling a list of words Harriet says on the blog and then the very next night you're writing about how you and her were chatting about how her 'friends' are coming over and discussing what they may and may not like to do and eat when they get here. Then there are some developmental changes that are black and white, with change occuring in the blink of an eye and you realise that irreversible change has occured whilst you lay sleeping next to this amazing little girl.



Today we had a few people over for a barbecue. Harry was so excited and after people had gone kept talking about how her "friends came over your house". She is just so self regulating it's unbelievable. Here she is helping James with the food, but she kept a good distance from the hotplate, refusing to get any closer because "hot there Papia".
Another thing Harriet says lately which is a crack up - "somewhere" and "something". You aske her where she'd like a doll or toy to be put down - "Oh somewhere Mamia", she'll say, waving a disinterested arm over in the direction of another corner of the playroom. However don't be lulled into a false sense of security. If you fail to place said item in the secretly determined correct spot (that "somewhere" is not as negotiable as it may suggest) then Harriet will gently reprimand you. "No, Mamia, put it over here where you can play". Okkkkk......
