GOING TO NURSERY WITH MUMMY.

Emma is off work for the week as it is half term so Poppy is having a lovely time with her Mummy. Em took her to school with her on Monday as she wanted to get her classroom ready for next term, and Poppy loved it, especially as Mummy teaches nursery and reception children so there was plenty to keep Poppy occupied! It took Emma double the time to get done what she wanted to, as Poppy wanted to help, though I doubt she minded that.  When they arrived here mid afternoon Poppy was tired having fallen asleep in the car, so Emma lay her on the sofa and she soon fell asleep.  She did not wake until about 5.30 they all had tea here as we knew Poppy would be feeling hungry as soon as she woke up!
They want to potty train Poppy so yesterday morning as soon as she got up she was running around without a nappy on and managed to last from 8am until just before noon until she did a wee! Em said they kept asking her, and she kept saying no, in the end Em sat her on the potty and read a story so Poppy did what she had to while relaxed. Apparently her facial expression was one of surprise, so it is maybe a case of her having to learn when she wants to "go". Em is going to perservere this week then next week when she is back at work Sallianne her childminder and Grandad and I will try to carry on the good work hopefully! She has only just turned 2 though and I daresay she will be ready when she is ready.
Yesterday, when Emma, Lee, Poppy and Lily arrived Poppy seemed quite tired so we all had some lunch and sometime after one o`clock Poppy got her snuggly and dummy saying she wanted to go upstairs to bed. She got a bit side tracked for half an hour playing with the dolls house but eventually she went into her cot though she did object a little, pretending she did not need to sleep by shouting "I love you" a few times down the stairs! She soon went quiet however, and Em nipped upstairs to cover her up and make sure she was warm enough and she had a sleep for a couple of hours.
After Poppy woke up she was playing with her Postman Pat rail and road track with us all which Emma had put together for her while she was asleep, took her awhile but she got there in the end! Tricky if you put one bit of the track in the wrong place!
Today Poppy has been at nursery this morning, Emma was so pleased their half term holiday falls on different weeks as she has the opportunity to take her daughter to nursery and see her in that situation. Poppy went trotting in happily, hardly stopping to take her coat off and was smiling and waving at her friends. When Emma went past the window later she could see her sitting at a table with lots of other children enjoying herself. Bless.
They have gone off visiting this afternoon so Poppy will get an opportunity to play with Finn and maybe Emma will get a cuddle with baby India. :-)
