Manic Poppy

I went round to Emmas yesterday morning to keep an eye on Poppy while she packed to go to Portugal but after lunch her friend turned up and announced they were all going to the park! I was asked but as I cannot walk that far it was not an option, I thought her friend rather rude, it was as though I was not in the room!When Gray arrived we dropped the house key off with Em, as she had not taken it thinking I would be there on her return, and popped to the shops for a few bits and pieces. On the way back to the car we picked up Poppy to take to our house so that Emma could get on with her packing in peace, she was in the pub garden with her friend, sitting in full sun with Poppy even though she has lupus and Poppy should not be subjected to full sun, and her friend, being rather selfish, was sitting happily in the shade! We had bought a couple of new toys for Poppy and she wasted no time in trying them out when we got to our house, she liked the balls which you knock through to the other side with a plastic hammer, though she did not always use the hammer, prefering to push them with her hand! She liked the pull along duck, though the music it plays is going to get very annoying, I can tell! Poppy liked it though, and was dancing away to it! She is funny, she kneels up, puts her hands out in front of her and sort of waves her whole body about, at the same time trying to sing along "yeah, yeah, yeah"!! She was very pleased to see her Daddy when he arrived to fit a new flushing mechanism in our toilet, which was very kind of him, saving us quite a lot of money. The part he fitted cost £25, and took him about an hour. A plumber quoted us £110!!! He reckoned the part would cost £60 and the labour would be £50!! Taking the mick or what? Aunty Rachel and Uncle Steven were babysitting last night while Emma and Lee went out for dinner for their 5th wedding anniversary, I wonder if they had manic Poppy to look after,as she had fallen asleep on me while watching Baby Jake on TV at 6pm, she had been too busy to have a nap earlier!! She only slept for about 20 minutes and then Daddy woke her to take her home, it was enough to recharge her batteries though! Bless.
