POPPY STARTED NURSERY. AH BLESS.

Poppy had a bit of a cold when she arrived to see us yesterday so she was not eating much, she rarely does when she is feeling poorly, and she wanted lots of cuddles, not that I am complaining. I don`t mind having cuddles!
I had some flavoured milk so made sure she had that to drink so that at least if she was not having much food she would be getting the goodness from the milk. We watched quite a lot of episodes of Come Outside, she kept asking for Pippin, and although we don`t normally let her watch tv all the time when she is feeling a bit poorly she just wants to sit on a convenient lap and have a cuddle while watching her favourite dog!
Just before lunch she went to lay on the sofa and within a few minutes she was asleep! I covered her over and pushed the dogs into the other room so that they would not wake her if they barked.
Poppy slept for about an hour and a half and woke in a better frame of mind, wanting to play. She did not eat a great deal of her lunch but I managed to get some yoghurt down her and some more milk, then she asked for a biscuit so her appetite was clearly improving, just quite slowly.
Rachel and Steven arrived mid afternoon to fetch Murphy, who has been here for the weekend while they were away for a few days so Steven got talked into doing some magic painting with Poppy before she showed her ponies and colouring book to Aunty Rach.
She never stopped talking all the while they were here which caused me to remark that she is just like her mother, Emma never stops talking either! Steven agreed! She waved Murphy off, and Aunty Rach and Uncle Steven ofcourse, then went back to playing going shopping. She would put her little basket over her arm, walk towards the day calling "bye then", turning back to wave, then walked into the hall where she would turn round calling "What? Whats the matter?" She then dragged Grandad outside with her to look at the flowers, ladybirds, bumblebees etc., until tea time.
Poppy started nursery this morning, I hear that she was excited and went in okay and was sitting with the other children when Salli sneaked a peek through the window on her way out. Bless. Two hours is a long time with lots of new people when you are only 2 years old.
Just had a text from Salli, the lovely lady who looks after Poppy while Emma is at work, she says Poppy was absolutely fine, loved it. No tears all day, she was like an old hand! Bless. I bet she is tired now, maybe Salli is in for a quiet afternoon if her charges all have a sleep for an hour or two.
Thankyou Sallianne. xx
