Me, I sank gratefully into a chair!

Poppy arrived yesterday adorned in reindeers, she had her hair tied up in two reindeer hair bobbles and was wearing a beautiful thick winter cardigan with reindeers on it, so not only Christmassy but warm!
She asked for her ponies as soon as she finished breakfast but unfortunately she had left Rainbow Dash and Princess Celestia at home so had to make do with the ones we have here.  We found one on sale for a pound in the charity shop on Tuesday, still boxed and obviously never played with and she was very pleased with it, she also has a large purple one from Asda and another couple we also found in the charity shop, though we could only find one of them. Where the green one has gone is anybodys guess! Poppy has got such an imagination so soon the ponies were dancing in the disco (she brought a torch toy with her that has different coloured lights twinkling) and we were singing Rudolph the rednose reindeer for them to dance to! (Not normally a tune you would dance to but its Christmas!) They also kept falling off the mountain (my footstool) and having to be taken to hospital in the bus.
She was tired by 10am so sat on my lap for a while with her dummy and snuggly watching babytv before deciding to go upstairs and have a sleep in the cot. She is in a bed at home but we have no single bed at the moment so she still uses the cot here, she doesn`t seem to mind and lies down to sleep quite happily. She was soon asleep and did not wake until after 1.30!! Emma did say she would be tired after having a disturbed night.
After lunch we went to the library, Poppy went to the childrens section with Grandad to look at the books and have a go on the wooden train while I attempted to choose some books for myself, with Poppy calling out "Grandma I`m playing on the train", "Grandma, I`m colouring", "Grandma what you doing over there?"  I doubt I have chosen my books quicker!!  I went over to help her choose some books for herself but each one I offered to her she said "no"  In the end it was easier to choose a few I knew she would like as she was looking at one from the book shelves suitable for a child much older, rather than look at the books in the train carraiges! I found one book called `Princess Poppy and the baby twins`, when I showed it to her she said "Thats me", and realised it was her name written on the book which she was excited about.
We had a bit of a problem at the self service booth to check books out as it did not want to let Poppy have hers because she still had 3 overdue at home, so we had to ask the library assistant to help. Hopefully Emma and Lee will be able to locate the overdue books now I have given them the titles!!
We had a text from Lee to say he was home about 4.45 so we could take Poppy and Lily back so once she had finished her tea Grandad strapped her into her car seat with difficulty (I think we need to let the straps out a bit now she is wearing a thick winter coat) and he took them home.
