Tuesday - Poppy arrived clutching two plastic yellow ducks, one larger than the other. They are the ones she plays with in the bath and she refused to leave the house without them! Guinea seems to have been relegated in favour of her ducks so he is in the bag with her spare clothes and things! The ducks had to sit on her tray while she ate her breakfast, not that she ate much breakfast as she is quite snotty again and coughing, whether due to teeth or just another cough/cold virus. I am feeling quite tight chested this week and Emma said she is the same, so maybe we all have the same germs! She did manage her grapes though so at least she had some fruit even if she did not eat more than a couple of mouth fulls of her toast, grapes, one of her five a day.
Jill came round about 10am and very kindly took Poppy for a walk in her pushchair to feed the ducks, she certainly had enough bread with her for the ducks, a whole carrier bag full, there will be a few fat ducks on the lake now! Poppy was fast asleep in her pushchair on their return, sleep she badly needed, her eyes are sore and red again with conjunctivitus so hopefully the sleep helped her eyes get some rest. She slept for an hour and woke in a lovely mood, actually she has been very smiley all day, despite having a runny nose, cough and sore eyes, even when she is poorly she is a pleasant, happy personality.
She went home with only one duck, she did not take it out of the house, I know that, but I have searched everywhere and cannot find it! It is a mystery where it has got to, it is definately in the house somewhere but where is anyones guess!
Wednesday - Gray is working afternoons for a couple of days so he was here when Poppy arrived this morning with her Mummy. It was rather cold first thing, which was a shame as we planned to take her to the playground. We had wanted to take her to soft play but with her eye problem we thought it unfair to take her just incase they are infectious. Emma said she had a disturbed night coughing and she was actually very tired about 9.30am though fighting sleep. We decided the best way to get her to have some rest would be to take her for a ride in the car, knowing she usually falls asleep on the journey. Sure enough it did not take too long for her to drop off and she slept for about an hour. When she woke up we took her to the playground for a short visit, it was a bit too cold to linger though she did have a go on the swings, a couple of goes on the slide and a seesaw! Gray was due at work for 2.30 and Poppy sat on my knee after he left looking tired so I expected her to go to sleep again for a while. Jill arrived 5 minutes later and ofcourse she had to get off my lap to say hello! She had a play for a while though we could see she was feeling sleepy and when Jill left Poppy sat on my lap again and fell asleep. She was still asleep when her Mummy arrived to fetch her! Em had a cup of tea and a chat before gently waking her and taking her home for tea. She will probably be a little later to bed this evening but her Daddy was working until later last night so did not get to see much of her when he got in, so at least they will see one another for a bit longer this evening.
Hope her eyes are better tomorrow!
