BBQ

Emma arrived with Poppy yesterday just in time for lunch. Poppy was a bit tired so Emma wanted to make sure she had something to eat before having a sleep. Poppy though had other ideas, although she had been looking sleepy in the car on the way here, she livened up virtually as soon as she entered the house and started chattering away! She can have quite a conversation with you now, we catch most things she says but sometimes we are stumped and she has such an expectant look on her face, expecting you to know what she has said to you and answer accordingly! Eventually, after a ham bap, crisps, some jelly and custard and a drink we could see she was getting really tired, she goes into a kind of trance and if there is something she is interested in on the tv she will stare at the screen, hardly blinking! She lay on the sofa for a little while but it was obvious she was not going to get to sleep as she kept getting up and chatting so Emma took her up to lay her in the cot for a while. She called out to her Mummy a couple of times but soon all went quiet and she was fast asleep very quickly. Emma was able to get on with some work on the computer and I headed off outside to make up my hanging baskets with the pansies we bought the other day. Poppy slept for 2 hours! Lee arrived to fetch them and she had just woken so he went up to fetch her, she had woken in lovely mood and was very pleased to see her Daddy. As she came into the room she announced "I was a bit tired", bless. Grandad came in from the garden where he had been doing some weeding to see her for a little while before they headed home for a bbq.
