CHOO CHOO

Although Poppy has a poorly chest at the moment, and her breathing is a bit rattly, she was in good form yesterday and full of beans. She was not eating a lot but had quite a bit of strawberry milk so at least she was getting her nutrients. I don`t think she stopped talking from the time she arrived at 7.30am until she dropped off to sleep on the sofa about 11am and then slept for 2 hours. I don`t know how she managed to stop on the sofa, she was wriggling around and turning upside down while still asleep, or half asleep, and even on a couple of occassions she opened her eyes for a few minutes but seemed dazed and was soon fast asleep again! When she woke after 1pm she had a few cheesy nibbles and a bit of tomatoe but left the bread and turkey, though she did manage half a yogurt. She never eats a great deal when she has a bad chest so I was glad she was getting the milk down her.
She was riding her car round the lounge and decided to phone Daddy, "hello, its Mr Poppy"!!  When Grandad arrived home she was very excited and immediately wanted him to play choo choo which involves running round the table in the centre of the lounge pretending to be a train, waving at me and the dogs as she goes! He hardly had time to hang his coat up before she was pulling his hand calling "Come on Grandad, choo choo!!" She makes us laugh so much! After a few turns round the table Grandad was worn out and in need of a sit down so Poppy decided she needed a rest too. She was out of breath so it was a good idea when she sat down saying she was tired.  In an attempt to get her to play a bit more quietly I asked if she wanted to colour so out came her crayons and colouring book and she started to colour in a My little pony, inviting Grandad to help her.  She then decided she had to ride her horsey and told Grandad he was too big to ride it!
Poppy did not eat a great deal of her tea, but managed a little ravioli and some more milk, then she did some colouring until her Mommy arrived to fetch her. As usual she was very pleased and excited to see Mommy and she immediately made her play choo choo!!
She took Tazzy, her toy monster, to show Daddy and off they went home, leaving an exhausted Grandma and Grandad to recover!
