The abacus.

We don`t normally have Poppy on a Friday, she usually goes to the childminder, but as I had an appointment with my oncologist yesterday for my annual check up I swapped days with Sallianne. Lesley came round for a coffee this morning and Poppy was on top form, climbing all over her and giving her her best smiles! Poppy had just woken up from a 2 hour sleep so she was full of energy!

Grandad finishes work at 2pm on a Friday and we had to pop to the bank and on the way home we nipped into the charity shop to see if there were any toys for sale, they are a great help as Poppy can have lots of toys to help her development for very little cost and all they need is a good clean with hot water and milton fluid! Today we found three nice books at 50p each and an abacus which she chose herself. I had already spotted the abacus, a lovely wooden one, you don`t see them often these days so we grabbed that on Poppys orders, she had already seen it and was reaching out to touch it, they are a good teaching aid to teach not only numbers but colour too so I was pleased with that.

Poppy has enjoyed her meals today which is good to see, when she is poorly she goes off her food big time and it is very difficult to get her to eat anything so when she eats it is lovely. We bought her an egg custard tart, she polished off the lot!
