Poppy is at her childminders today, I hope she is having a lovely time. It is nice for her to be able to play with other children, it will help with her social development and teach her to share.
When I got Poppy dressed yesterday morning I thought the top she was wearing was a little short in the sleeve, coming half way between the elbow and the wrist. The width of the chest was fine, as was the length of the top, so I wondered if her Mummy had given me a top to dress her in which had three quarter length sleeves, when I checked the label though it said ages 3 - 6 months! Guess its time to look round for new clothes then!
We have had a lovely time the past three days though I must admit that at the end of the day yesterday I was quite worn out looking after Poppy! She loves to climb, on everything and anything, the chairs, the sofa, Grandma! She will even climb on the dog, given half the chance! When we went to the shops on Wednesday we took her into the pet shop to see the rabbits and other little animals, "dog dog" she said, pointing at the rabbits with a big grin on her face! Yesterday, when we popped into the supermarket on our way back to buy a few supplies, Poppy was waving at everybody and smiling at all and sundry!! You would think she was royalty the way she sits in her pushchair, arm raised, ready to wave when the next person comes into view! She certainly brightens up everybodys day, they all smile back and wave to her. She is a very sociable baby!
Poppy has learnt a new word, "ball", she sits in the ballpool, pink ball held aloft, "ball, ball" she says, though I must admit it comes out more like "baw, baw", you know what she means though! She also has a large blue ball which she loves you to bounce, she thinks it is the funniest thing when you pat the ball up and down and sits watching with a grin on her face saying "baw". Its very exciting to her to push this ball along while she crawls behind it, the simplest of toys brings her a great deal of pleasure and keeps her occupied for ages! Aunty Michelle very kindly gave her a little toy which when you put a plastic token in plays a Pixie Lott song, it had belonged to one of her boys but she said Poppy could take it with her, as they had lots of them spread around the house. This little toy has given her endless hours of pleasure, she loves the music to play and will dance with a big grin on her face! As I say, the cheapest of toys, bring the greatest of pleasure. Its true what they say, a child will receive an expensive toy and then play with the box in which it came!
