Adaptation

It's often said that adults find it harder than children to adjust to new circumstances. I think that I generally agree with this view, though would always be cautious because it's not easy to know what a young child in going through because of the simple inability to express well verbally. However, one little girls seems to be having her share of adaptation to do, and so far, doing it well. Her biggest challenge is to adapt without the help of older sisters alongside her to give her guidance in addition to whatever Mummy and Daddy can offer. Anyway, we have found and continue to find ways to adapt. Play is one of the best ways of getting to new understanding.


A child's imagination is something that is so rich. Who would suggest sitting in a basket as the comfortable place when talking on the phone? Rhian was having a long conversation with her sister, Eleanor, telling her all about the things she had been doing and gradually moved to the basket and the ideal place to relax and tell her life's story.




Maybe, when she is in The Oval Office, she will look back on these pictures and ask for a redesign of her office furniture.
