What you talkin' 'bout Harper?

Harper has entered the hilarious phase of imaginary everything.  As we all know, Lucy mastered the world of imagination: imaginary friends, naming of her hands, imaginary dogs, and so on and so on, in what we affectionately call "Lu Lu Land".  Well, Harper is creating her own world.  We are not fully there yet, but it is creeping up on us.  It is starting with her arguing with herself.  She will be sitting in a room all by herself and quite passionately argue both sides of a topic.  She uses hand gestures, she gets upset, she always wins (and loses) the argument.  It is quite a thing to watch.
She has also begun introducing her hands.  They are not named yet, but they definitely are characters in her never-ending drama, or soap opera. 
And then there are her babies and littlest pet shop pets and stuffed animals.  They all play in her world with mush enthusiasm and many stir up a bit of trouble on their own, which she promptly stomps out.
It may not be Lu Lu's world, but it is indeed a world not so far, far away.
