WE WOKE UP TO HEAR POPPY SINGING!

We woke up this morning to the sound of Poppy singing! What a beautiful way to wake up in the morning.
She had stopped here with us last night while her Mummy and Daddy attended Liz and Neils wedding and she was as good as gold. She was getting rather tired around 6.30pm so she had her nappy changed and got ready for bed, wearing a Peppa Pig pink nighty (try saying that quickly when you have had a drink!!) and a pink and white fluffy dressing gown with a hood sporting ears, very cute. She was sitting on my lap, drinking some warm milk, when my sister Marg and brother in law Rich arrived to visit as a nice surprise. Well ofcourse as soon as Poppy saw them she was off my lap and soon chattering away to them, asking Marg to see her baby in the dolls pram. Marg was wrapping the doll up for her and Poppy was cuddling and rocking it, so sweet. She played and chatted for a while then you could see her getting tired again and wanted to sit on my lap and watch Pippin. Come Outside, featuring Pippin and Aunty Mabel is one of her favourites and the series is actually quite old, having started first of all in 1993 but is obviously still very popular as it is on tv everyday and Poppy sits watching enthralled.
Marg and Rich stopped for about an hour and as soon as they left Poppy was ready to go up to bed, even though she was pretending she was not tired, it was obvious by the staring glazed look in her eyes that she was! Grandad carried her upstairs and lay her down, I would have read a bedtime story but she was already too far gone to listen and lay down as soon as she got into the bed, almost asleep straight away! Within about 10 minutes she was fast and only stirred a couple of times when she lost her dummy and when the covers had been kicked off and she may have been a little chilly, other than that she slept right through until 7.20am! We realised she was awake when we heard her singing. We played all sorts this morning, the plastic animals had a party when they all had to wear a necklace each to attend the party(Grandmas hair bobbles which are kept in a treasure chest! Its a box Emma bought me back from a holiday in Egypt, but Poppy has called it the Treasure Chest. No idea where she has that from!)
Poppy did some colouring, she can now draw a circle and she drew a circle then jabbed the crayon onto the paper inside the circle she had drawn. "Whats that?" I asked her, and she told me it was Daddy and they were his eyes! She then started to jab the crayon down at the other side of the paper and told me it was the rain! So Daddy has green hair and is rather wet! I have always liked to paint and draw so Poppy obviously takes after me in that respect, she soon gets the colouring books out and wants her crayons as soon as she arrives!
Emma arrived to fetch her about 10.45am and by then I think Poppy had almost all the toys out and my house looked like a bomb had dropped! We had lunch and Emma left with Poppy about 2pm to meet Jo to celebrate Jo`s birthday.
We had a lovely time together, Grandma is now officially worn out!!
