Some of the things Poppy says are so random and funny they make us laugh out loud. Yesterday for instance, she was sitting at the table eating her sandwich when she turned around to me and said "mommy and daddy haven`t got a doorbell"! No idea why, nobody had mentioned doorbells, it did not relate to her sandwich in any way and she had previously been watching My little pony on television, no door bells included in the programme!
When she decided to play with the clock which stands next to the television I asked her a few times to leave it alone, but when she didn`t I decided to put it on the windowsill out of her reach so she didn`t break it. "Grandma, I want to borrow the clock." This line, delivered with a cheeky grin on her face made me have to hide my smile as I was trying to tell her not to do something and it would have given out a mixed message! She certainly knows how to get round you!
When playing with her dolls house she lined the little people up who live in it on the ground, but when I asked if they were all going to sleep she replied "no, they are looking at the stars"!
Where she gets some of the things she says I have no idea, I sometimes wonder if she has been here before she is so knowing and her vocabulary is so varied for a child not quite 2 and a half years old.
We took Poppy yesterday afternoon to visit Margaret and Richard, my sister and brother in law. As we were backing off the drive in the car Poppy announced that she was going to visit Daniel. "Who is Daniel?" I asked, "is that your friend from nursery Poppy?" She replied "no its my cousin." Her Mum says everyone is her cousin at the moment, though she has no idea who Daniel is either! Grandad is going to look at the notice board at nursery this morning to see if there is a Daniel at nursery as we have no idea where she might know him from otherwise!
On the journey to Margs house Poppy said she could see a rainbow and that it was pretty, then she said she saw the snowman and the snow dog. When we stopped at the traffic lights she was saying "go go go" and when we arrived she decided she just had to walk in the untouched snow piled up alongside the driveway, falling over in the process! So ofcourse we had to jump her up and down to knock the snow off her wellington boots and take off her gloves to put on the radiator! She was a little shy at first, started to chatter, then when Richard arrived home from work became a bit shy again for a few minutes before forgetting her initial shyness and chattering as normal, causing Richard to ask if she ever stops talking! As it was twenty to five we decided to pop into the fish and chip shop on the way home for tea (we are both on a diet but Poppy likes her tea on time so it was the easiest option) She sat at the table under duress, eating some chips and fish inbetween cries of "I want to come out" and me saying "We are having our tea Poppy, we sit at the table for meals so eat your tea please" every five minutes! (She no longer uses the highchair but has a booster seat on an ordinary dining chair) She did eat some food eventually though sometimes it can be a bit of a battle! She would much rather be playing than eating, she prefers to graze throughout the day than eat a large meal, obviously much too busy to take time out to eat!
Update - Grandad just texted to say Daniel is a little boy at nursery! Mystery solved!
