My eyes did not want to open this morning when the alarm went off at 6.45am, I had not slept well and just to top it all I had a horrible dream which was very vivid. It seemed so real and I haven`t been able to stop thinking about it all day.
Emma and Poppy arrived an hour later, Emma said she had problems getting up this morning too, she overslept a little having got to bed after midnight last night with all the paperwork she has to do for work. We will both be glad for the weekend!
Luckily Gray is on afternoons this week so he was here to help me out this morning. I prepared some grapes for Poppy, I like to give her as much fruit as I can, and when she arrived Gray put some toast on for her. She has not eaten too well the past couple of days with her cold so I was not expecting her to eat well today and she pleased and surprised me by eating 3 out of 4 of her pieces of jam on toast and all her grapes. The weather was horrible outside, very cold and foggy, so we decided not to venture out too early. Poppy and I built some towers with her mega blocks then played with her farm for a while and Gray took the dogs out for their walk. She is quite good at fixing the mega blocks (a bit like huge lego) together, something which she could not do a few weeks ago. We built two little buildings for her toy cows and pigs to go into.
We did not want to take Poppy to playgroup this morning as her eyes are still a bit bloodshot and weepy, its not fair to the other children incase it is infectious so we decided to give it a miss.
The fog had lifted a little mid morning so we decided to take Poppy to the pet shop as she loved to look at the animals, last time we went and she was fascinated by the fish! Off we went in the car but we had only got about 5 minutes into our journey when she fell fast asleep! It was no use going when she was obviously so tired and we decided to head back and let her have her sleep on the comfort of the sofa. We never did get to the pet shop today, Poppy slept for 2 hours, by which time it was lunch and as Gray was due at work for 2.30pm I wanted to cook a hot meal for us all. She pleased us again by eating most of her dinner and got very messy courtesy of a chocolate marshmallow!
Jill arrived as Gray left for work, Poppy was upset to see Grandad go out then we realised it was because he had just put the pushchair in the hallway and she wanted to go and see the ducks! I found her plastic yellow duck in her bag which calmed her down then she rushed to her toy box to find something to play with. Five minutes later she decided to wave to Grandad through the window, slightly late!! Em arrived to fetch her earlier than normal knowing I would be worn out without her Dad to help me. I saw her car pulling up on the drive and lifted Poppy onto the sofa to see her Mummy through the window, she was so excited and Emma got a lovely welcome.
As Poppy would say, bye bye.
