A look of wonder.

Its been a while!

First off all Poppy had a week with her Daddy when he had no work, then we had half term, and so she had the week with her Mummy. Since then I seem to have been so busy, and as a consequence, so tired!

Poppy spent the weekend with us as her Mummy and Daddy went to a wedding to see their friends Sarah and Ryan get married. I would have liked to go to the church to see the ceremony myself, Sarah very kindly invited us to see them married, but unfortunately Grandad had to go to work and so we were unable to attend. Poppy would have liked to see the Princess in her beautiful dress I`m sure.  Rach and Ste also went to the wedding so we took care of Murphy meaning that we had not only Poppy, but four dogs in our house for the weekend. Good job they all get along well together!

Lee dropped Poppy off just before 11am on Saturday morning and so when my sister and brother in law arrived to visit they were very pleased to be able to see her. Rich is doing a job for me so he came to measure up and they stopped for a quick coffee before heading off. 

Emma, Lee, Rach and Ste arrived about noon on Sunday to fetch their child and dogs having had a lovely time at the wedding, at least I got to see some photos of the beautiful bride. Poppy had gone to bed the evening before asking where Mommy and Daddy were. I told her they had gone to a wedding and that they would be here to fetch her when she woke up the next morning and she said "I want them to come this day!" Bless. She was a little unsettled and kept calling Grandma, so I just reassured her we were still there and eventually she went to sleep.

Poppy woke before 7am on the Sunday morning and was pleased to see Grandad who picked her up and brought her into bed with us for a while. She lay down for a bit though she kept wriggling and eventually decided that she really wanted to bounce! Grandad decided to take her downstairs so I asked him to give her some breakfast, adding that she needed her nappy changed. He looked a bit taken aback, but when I went downstairs a little later he had not only changed her nappy, he had got her dressed aswell! It was not until later in the morning, when she needed her nappy changed, that I realised he had somehow managed to get it on backwards!! (Shows how many nappies he has changed!)
Late morning she began asking for Mommy and Daddy and was obviously getting tired so I text Em and told her Poppy had been asking for them, and was missing them.

Poppy arrived on Monday morning, we normally have her on a Thursday but as I have a hospital appointment to see my oncologist on Thursday we changed days with Sallianne the childminder to make it easier. We can often be at the hospital for 2 or 3 hours, not a place for a small child!  I can`t say I want to be there myself to be honest!

Lee text around 2pm to say he was back home, it had been raining all morning so I was not entirely surprised, so we took Poppy and Lily back home. She was very pleased when I said her Daddy was home and had her coat on standing by the door waiting to go within about ten minutes!

Yesterday, when Emma arrived to fetch Poppy, Pops was so pleased and happy to see her Mommy. Emma sat on the sofa and Poppy flung her arms around her neck giving her a huge cuddle, then she looked over to me, a look of pure joy on her face, and pointing to Emma said "its my Mommy, its my Mommy." It was such a touching moment, it made me cry! What a wonderful way to see such a strong bond between mother and daughter, I only wish I had had a camera in my hand to record the look of wonder on Poppys little face. Bless her.
