Yesterday was my beautiful daughters birthday, I can sometimes hardly believe that I am mother to two children over the age of 30! What happened? Where did all that time go??!
We popped round in the morning to take Emmas present and as soon as we walked into the house Poppy slid off the sofa and ran up to me with a big grin on her face, throwing her arms around my legs. "Grandma." Ah bless, what it is to be loved, to see her little face light up is a joy. I have found that the love between a grandchild and grandmother is a wonderful thing.
She was tired, though she managed to chatter away and kept bringing me various things, her daddys trainers "Daddy shoes", her Mums high heels, "Mummys shoes". Some dogs toys "Lily toys." It was as though she had to show me all the things in the room! Grandad sat and smiled as my lap, and the floor nearby, started to pile up with the things she brought me. Eventually she got tired and went to sit on the sofa next to her Daddy where she gradually fell asleep, cuddling her snuggly. Emma carried her carefully upstairs and put her in her cot to rest.
We went back later on as Emma and Lee wanted to go out to the pub to watch the football together as they did in the olden days, as Emma said when she texted me! I think she meant when they were courting, do you say courting nowadays?!!
Poppy was already in her pyjamas when we arrived and Emma was just getting her bedtime bottle. She uses a cup throughout the day but at bedtime she likes her bottle of milk. She chattered and had a game with Grandad for a while but when she finished her bottle she was ready for bed.
"Bye" she said when Emma picked her up to take her upstairs before they went out. Everybody got a kiss and off they went. I never heard a peep out of her, when I crept upstairs a short while after they left the house she was fast asleep. Goodnight, God bless Poppy. xxx
