I have been a very slack poster on my little darlings web site,mainly because we are just busy getting on with life and looking after my family along with a very energetic Lucy who is just leaping along in big giant strides.

Now what has happened,Lucy is understanding things,she is very clear on her likes and dislikes and has recently taken on a new awareness of her world and people in it,some she is happy with other she is not.

I am not sure if it is because she has been poked and prodded a little more than the average child but she has started to get suspicious of different situations and can be very clingy to me with her uncertainty,take for example a visit to get her feet measured for some new shoes,the assistant took hold of her foot and Lucy was clearly distressed,me thinking back to a few weeks prior when we went to take to Lucy to have some blood work and they took the blood from her foot,she had remembered and I was amazed that her comprehension was so clear.

Another time was when her brother was waiting at the barbers to get a haircut and the lady turned on the clippers,Lucy again turned to me and tried to hide behind me,she was worried the clippers were something that she was going to have to have used on her,once she realised that they were not she was happy to go and play again.

Some people she takes a liking to and others she becomes shy and coy,some she clearly doesnt like and will have nothing to do with them......Its all so normal!!!

I remember reading a post on a forum about stranger danger and how our children with prader willi do not have any danger of strangers and are (over) friendly,this doesnt seem to be the case with my little tinker and she shows such normal reactions to her world outside and it a strange thing to be glad that my daughter has fears but that is what all toddlers are like,its how they learn,my daughter is learning,and more importantly understanding.

I feel very lucky to have such a special girl,she amazes me every day.
