The phone rang yesterday morning, I was, I will admit, still in bed reading my book. Sunday morning lie in! It was Emma, ringing from Cheltenham where she was away for the weekend at a hen party asking if I could feed her later! Apparently she had phoned Lee and asked if he could make some dinner for them, to be told that he was going to watch the football later with Graham so why not ring her Mum and ask if I would feed them?! Cheeky! This resulted in us heading off to the shops to buy the ingredients of a roast dinner, incase you are wondering chicken, roast potatoes, home made yorkshire pudding and veg. Emma arrived at 3pm followed very closely by Lee and Poppy but not realising that they would be back so early I had only just put the chicken into the oven so dinner was a little while! Lee and Graham headed off to the pub to the watch the football and Emma, Poppy and I stayed in to play and chat. We got Poppy a toy from the charity shop on Friday, a pet shop and pet beauty parlour, complete with a big bag of assorted animals, not all of them the original animals which would have come with the toy. I had sorted the animals out as some of them were much too small for Poppy, who still tends to put things in her mouth, and would have been a chocking hazard. They are in a bag upstairs safely stowed away for when she is a little older and unlikely to swallow them!
The phone rang and it was Lee to say that his niece Faye was with her Dad and wanted to see her little cousin Poppy so she walked up to the house to spend a couple of hours with us. Poppy was slightly shy for about 5 minutes, but soon her reserve melted and she was playing with Faye with her new pet shop.
Emma, Poppy and I ate our dinner and I put the mens meal aside for them to warm up later. We could not have waited until they returned as the meal time would have been a bit too late for Poppy who was already hungry and asking for her dinner.
Poppy was very pleased with the other toy we got her last week, some Princess shoes and tiara. She was tottering around the room with her little pink plastic high heels on, it was like she was learning to walk again! I took some lovely photos of her, I shall put them on soon. I remember well having play shoes when I was a kid, unfortunately my feet grew rather fast and they did not fit me for long, a fact that I was gutted about! As there were 3 pairs of shoes in the set she has taken one home with her to totter around her own house. The teddy bear who sits on the old basket chair that has recently been mended for Poppy and spray painted white (it was mine when I was born for is quite old) is wearing the tiara. Very nice he looks too!
