Its been a busy weekend. On Saturday Emma and Lee were going to a wedding so we had been asked to look after Poppy. As I had been poorly at the start of the week and still felt quite weak Aunty Rachel and Uncle Steven offered to have her for the day if we took over for the evening as they were invited to a different wedding, which incidentally we were also invited to. Poppy had a lovely day with her Aunty and Uncle, she really took to Uncle Steven and cried each time he left the room! We reckoned that because she is such a Grandads girl she thought he looked like his Dad! We went to pick her up at 4 o`clock and she was fast asleep on the sofa and had been for two hours! Rachel is a natural Mum, she is so lovely with her. They had taken her out for a walk and Poppy had spent a happy time chattering away to herself in her own language while they walked round with the dog. When we got back to ours she had her tea, which as usual she ate without any problem, she has a good appetite which is great, its nice to see a little one eat well. Emma was also invited to the second wedding of the day, along with Lee, but Lee decided to stay at the wedding he had been at all day and Emma travelled back with Bev to attend the evening reception of Kelly and Jason who had married in Las Vegas. We headed off to the reception, Poppy in her party dress and the cutest of shoes and us in our posh clothes, just down the road in Newbridge at the tennis club which I was astounded to find, I did not even know it was there! Very nice place, there is a lot of land at the back with tennis courts and a huge hanger type place which may be indoor courts or something of that kind. Poppy was very good, we sat outside on the patio for a while but it began to get a little chilly so we moved inside where she enjoyed watching the disco lights! Emma arrived before 9 o`clock, a bit later than I expected, though she had no choice as to what time she arrived as she was not driving. We stopped will ten o`clock but Poppy was starting to get very tired and it was not fair to keep her awake any longer, she certainly could not sleep in the room, the music was much too loud! She stopped at our house overnight, Emma was looking forward to a lie in!
Yesterday was a nice day, Emma rang at about 10.15am to see if Poppy was okay and she borrowed the car to take Lee to finish a job he was doing in Telford for her friend so with having a cup of tea with her friend she did not arrive back here until around 2pm!
Poppy is starting to say a few words now and it seems she does something new every day! She will now say Ta, any animal is a dog dog, Grandad seems to be Ganga, when I picked her up from her cot and took her into our room, she saw Graham in bed and flung her arms out towards him saying Ganga! So we presume it means Grandad! Bless! She really is a Grandads girl!
She has just found out how to put the ring on to the toy with the post, you know the kind of thing I mean, four or five rings of different size and colour? She loves banging a saucepan with a wooden spoon so I am now looking for one of those peg boards with a hammer which you knock them through then turn over and start again! She tries to sing too, "yeah, yeah, yeah"!! She is still smiling away all the time, what a sweetheart.
