Sunday lunch.

Emma, Lee and Poppy came for Sunday lunch yesterday. I had asked Rachel and Ste to come too but Steven was sorting out his car rust patches! I did a joint of lamb, and ofcourse a pork chop for Emma who says she cannot eat lamb as it is too young!! Poppy had lamb, carrots, broccolli and roast potatoes and some yorkshire pudding though she was pointing to the fruit bowl asking for an "o" and a nana!

Poppy was very tired, Emma and Lee had both tried the cuddles to get her to sleep but she would not give in so when she arrived she was rather tired and not in the mood to cooperate and eat her dinner. She is very independent and waves away your hand if you try to feed her so you have to put some food on to her little fork and hand it to her so she can put it in her mouth herself - if she is in the mood! If she is not in the mood she will shake the food off the fork on to the tray and pick it up with her fingers! In the end it was easier to put the bowl on the tray for her so she could dig in, messy but at least she eats something that way and she can always be washed!

We popped round to see Ste and Rach about 4 o`clock as Emma, Lee and Poppy had to go to the shops to buy some toy animals. Emma is doing pets at school this week! When we got back they were all still at our house having been to Early Learning and returned so we all had a sandwich for tea before they headed off to put the now very tired Poppy to bed. She managed a little sleep in the car, but only about 20 minutes. Hopefully this pattern will not continue and she will be back to her 2 hours in the day by Tuesday!
