COME ON GRANDMA, FOLLOW ME!

Just before 11am yesterday Poppy fell asleep, she was showing signs of tiredness and when she asked for her snuggly and dummy I realised she was not going to last until after lunch as she usually does. She lay down on the sofa and was soon fast asleep so I covered her over with a light blanket to keep her warm. She slept for about 2 hours and woke up full of beans. We both had a sandwich then when Grandad suggested a visit to my sister Poppy had her coat on and was standing by the front door ready to go, eager to see Aunty Marg! Marg as usual was pleased to see us and immediately got the toys out which she keeps for a visit from Poppy, a tower was soon built out of the huge lego type bricks and Poppy played with the house and the little people before she shut the house all up, stood up and grabbed hold of the handle then announced it was time to go home! We had only been there for 10 minutes so I asked why she wanted to go home and it turned out she needed a change! After chasing her we managed to get her sorted out and she was happier to play. She soon had Marg walking up the garden then came back into the house to fetch me "come on Grandma, follow me, we go in garden"!! Marg has a large stone garden ornament of a goose in the corner and Poppy spotted it, I`m sure she thought it was a real one, she went over towards it walking very carefully and stroked its head saying "hello goose", when we said we needed to be quiet and go back inside the house (it was getting chilly) she said goodbye to the goose and went inside willingly, not wanting to scare it! She was getting hungry so we got Poppy to put her coat on, and we said goodbye to Aunty Marg and headed for the car, she did not want to sit in the car seat though and Grandad had a bit of a problem getting her to sit down properly. Its not easy to seat a child when they throw themselves backwards and won`t bend in the middle! I won`t stand any nonsense but Grandad is a bit of a softy and she knows it!
She just finished her lasagne and was eating her ice cream cone when Mommy arrived to fetch her. Emma had a chat for a while and when the time came for Emma to take Poppy home she decided she did not want to go, she was enjoying playing so she had to be chased to get her coat on, 3 times! (She kept taking it off again!) She is usually very good but can be a little rascal when she gets tired and she did not have
