Shattered!!!

I am absolutely worn out!

Poppy has been very lively today, to say the least! She has either a cold, or some more teeth coming through, so she is snotty and quite chesty. She only slept for about 45 minutes this morning as her cough woke her up, she did not eat as much of her lunch as she usually does, again because of her cough, she does tend to loose her appetite when she is under the weather though I think teething is the most likely option as she is dribbling for England and has a bright red cheek! We decided to take her to the library this afternoon, I needed to change my books and Poppy had some books to change also. We got in the car and just around the corner from the library she dropped off to sleep before we arrived! We decided to go for a ride around to let her have a sleep and then go to the library later on as she was clearly very tired so we headed off down the country lanes for a ride. After about 20 minutes she started to cough and before I could react she was sick all over herself, down her coat, over her new dress and on her tights and the car seat! Bless her she did not cry, just sat while I attempted to mop her up, luckily I had a muslin cloth with me, though I could not really make much of a difference to the mess she was in so we turned round and headed back to clean her up. Luckily she had some spare clothes in her bag which I had left on the table, though the jeans proved to be a little short and did not meet her shoes, I think they were for a 9 month old!! Clearly her Mummy had not looked into the bag for a while to make sure that her spare clothes still fit her! They were fine around the waist, she is only a little bit, but she has long legs!! I stripped her off and gave her a good wash down, wrapped her in a nice warm towel and got her dressed then she sat on my knee for ages watching the Disney Channel, I have found out that she likes the Mickey Mouse club. Grandad meanwhile went out to clean the car seat down then put the shepherds pie in the oven, not that she ate much of that either, she managed to stir it up a lot and spread quite a lot of it around her tray so you can imagine the mess she was in. Again!! I left Grandad to clean her up and went to sit down for a well earned rest! Emma has taken her home now, and I bet she will have an early night, she has certainly been very lively here all day and I am shattered even if she isn`t!!!
