Poppy the pirate.

We have not really seen a great deal of Poppy over the weekend, everybody has been very busy.
We went out on Saturday as I have decided that the time has come for me to have another mobility scooter. My walking ability has got less and less, despite trying to keep going, the pain is too much,so I have struggled with the knowledge and given the situation a lot of thought and realised that really, I have little choice. It is either stop in the house most of the time, only going out in the car, to places I can manage, or do something about it. So we were looking round at the options. We decided to drop in to the local pub for tea, and had a rapturous welcome from Poppy who saw us as we walked in and ran to me, throwing her arms round my legs with the cry "Grandma" before breaking off and giving Grandad the same lovely welcome! She must have decided that Grandad was there to take her to the park as she then headed for the door saying "go to the park" with Grandad in hot pursuit before she reached it! Lee then took her out for a play on the swings and a go on the slide while we ordered our tea.
Poppy was invited to a pirates and princesses party yesterday afternoon to celebrate Evans birthday. She went dressed as a pirate, complete with a false tattoo or two and a beard! Emma said she had a lovely time, and wore herself out. She was a bit too little to appreciate pass the parcel and did not want to pass it on, and she kept getting up every time the music played to dance! She preferred to colour and managed to fit in eating quite a lot of cake I am told! Emma said she was drooping with tiredness by the end of the party, but determined to keep on going until they left!
