Harriet was lucky enough to be able to stay with her friend Priya during the time of the party, so she didn't have to endure the ignominy of going to a four year old's party (despite her fascination and excitement in thinking up ideas on how to make Ted's space party interesting).

Here he is at home eating the end crumbs of said cake. It's always a hit that one and it's so easy to make, chock-a-block full of protein and only as sweet as you want to make it.
After picking up Harriet, the two girls came back to our house and had crazy insane fun playing something or other, I know not what. When Zoe came up to our house with Arki however the day turned a little haywire, with the girls having worked each other up into a little foaming mouth, rabid frenzy of excitement. In fact after they had left I had to sit down with Harriet and have a serious discussion with her about friends and listening to her own feelings and not simply going along with the flow of the group, since I could sense she had been working herself up. Sure enough she burst into tears and we had a lovely discussion about friendships and the like.

Of course the big excitement was that it started to rain and break the spell of heat that had laid pall across the land. And so it was that a rain dance was called for. And so we danced. I managed to snap this one shot before I too dropped camera and headed outside for a little frolicking in the droplets and singing to the sky. I'm sure the neighbours hang their heads in despair and keep their back doors closed to prevent the sound of us from seeping into their woodwork.
