On Sunday Poppy adopted a new friend, a soft toy, bought for the dog, (the dog has never touched it, she did not like it) which is now called guinea after the guinea pigs. Actually we are not sure what it is, chipmunk has been suggested, squirrel without a tail, gofer (is that how you spell it?) its really not clear what it is, but what is clear is that Poppy really really loves it! Since she picked it up it has been everywhere with her, it arrives with her in the morning, it sits on her tray (if we cannot get it off her) as she eats her meals, it goes out with her in her pushchair, for a walk (please God don`t let her loose it) it goes to bed with her at night. She keeps kissing it, even I have to kiss it when she arrives in the morning, I don`t have a choice, it gets pushed into my face! She has to hold it in one hand while she puts her other arm into her clothes and it lies in her pram with the dolls. She gives it a drink from her tippy cup and apparently it really likes biscuits!! God forbid if she looses it, where it came from Emma cannot remember so we have no idea where to get another! This all takes me back some years ago to a trip to the safari park when Emma lost her special dog toy, we walked round and round looking for it, we even bought her another dog toy (not that it looked anything like the original but desperate measures!) oh she was soooo upset. We never did find another one the same and she asked for it for ages! Like mother like daughter!!
Poppys speech is coming on very very well, she is putting short sentences together sometimes and can say some quite difficult words, she followed me into the toilet the other day and when she passed the washing machine she said quite clearly "washing machine" then proceeded to push all the buttons on it! Loves buttons to press and turn Poppy does!! When she had eaten her dinner the other day I heard Grandad say to her "that was a nice dinner Poppy, go and say thankyou to Grandma" and she walked in to the room where I was, said "thankyou Grandma" and gave me a wave before returning to the game she was playing with her Grandad! Bless. The game she was playing with Grandad made me laugh, she suddenly said "ready, steady, go" and ran across the room! Grandad was worn out by the time that game finished, he kept having to race her!
Any ideas what animal guinea is?
