When Emma and Poppy arrived yesterday the dogs wanted a treat. Emma was getting some chew sticks from the cupboard so I said to Poppy "tell the doggies to sit down for their biscuit Poppy" whereupon she immediately sat down on the floor beside them ready for her biscuit and would not get up!
She sat at the table for her toast and fruit and watched Noddy and Peppa Pig for a while but did not want to sit for long, Poppy had too much playing to do to sit still! We had a few tunes on the keyboard which we had to dance to, I tried to sit down but she kept pulling me up with cries of "Grandma, get up, dance, over there!" Bossy little madam!
The fuzzy felt came out, not that she wanted to make a picture particularly, she made a game up where the giraffes made of different coloured felt had to climb the mountain (my armchair) and kept falling off resulting in visits to the hospital with poorly legs, a sore neck and the strangest one, my ear has fallen off! Her giraffe, Reddy, yes you guessed it the giraffe was red, kept going up to the other giraffes which she had given to me,(Pinky and Browny)asking "are you okay guys, have you hurt yourself?"
After playing for a while Poppy went to find her dummy and snuggly telling me she was tired, wanted to watch My Pony and lay herself down on the sofa, head on cushion, and asked for the blanky. I only have 2 episodes of My Little Pony on my Sky planner and we have seen each one so many times I could almost tell you what comes next and what they will say. I put the programme on for her and to my surprise, as she does not normally go to sleep quite so early, she was fast asleep by 9.30am! We were only half way through the second My Little Pony so she must have been tired!
Jill turned up, as she does each time I have Poppy, to help me, but as she was already asleep we took our cups of tea into the other room so as not to disturb our sleeping beauty while we chatted.
Lunch was bread and butter with banana which she likes, she then decided to bring me the entire contents of my fruit bowl, saying she was going to the shops,and then had an apple. I was forced to eat two plums "here you are Grandma, eat it" but refused the third on the basis that it was as hard as a rock and sneaked it back into the bowl!
Grandad arrived and was immediately pressed into service doing jigsaw puzzles, playing with the dolls house, cooking with her kitchen and looking at books. I asked her if she wanted a story from the Peppa Pig book she was looking at, she loves Peppa and loves the stories, but she was obviously not in the mood for a story "no Grandma its boring!" I tried to persuade Grandad to make Poppy a snowman as she had asked if we had a snowman in our garden earlier in the day and then said "Grandad will make one"! Funnily enough he did not fancy going out into the cold though! His excuse was "the snow is frozen."
I don`t do snow myself so I couldn`t say a lot!
