One worn out Grandma!

Hyper Poppy has been to visit us today, as a result I am absolutely worn out. I think we have had all the toys out at one time or another, several times. She walked through the door this morning at 7.45am and asked for the blackboard and chalks, played with them for 15 minutes or so then wanted the car mat, played with that for a while then wanted the toy basket pulled out from underneath the table which she then proceeded to empty, playing with each toy for ten minutes or so before going on to the next one! By 11am she was very tired, though fighting going to sleep, she had already lay down on the sofa four or five times, watched tv for a bit then got up again, played with something, lay down, you get the picture. Jill and Hannah came round to visit me and Jill persuaded Poppy to go upstairs for her sleep, where she settles better. She said yes she wanted to go up but would not go with Jill alone, I had to follow them up to see her into bed and by the time I had been to the bathroom she was fast asleep. I then tidied the toys up. Again. This time with the help of Jill and Poppy slept for a little over an hour. She was just as hyper when she got up again, once again all the toys were out though she did manage to fit in eating her sandwiches and some cake. Grandad arrived home from work and I was very pleased to have the opportunity to sit down leaving Poppy to play with Grandad for a while. Emma arrived just after 6 oclock to pick her up by which time I think both of us were worn out! When Grandad asked her to help pick up the toys, like she is asked to do at nursery she said "you do it Grandad" and I had to leave the room, after all I could not laugh in front of her could I? When she decided to `paint` the coffee table with a straw which was in her cup of juice and I asked Grandad to bring a cloth to wipe the table, she turned round and said "are you going to tell my off Grandad? Are you going to tell my off?" Not that she was bothered, she was grinning as she said it! Little devil!!
On the other hand she has been very good using the potty and has actually asked to use it 3 times during the course of the day, she usually stands wobbling around or plaiting her legs trying not to admit she needs it, so that is certainly progress! It will eventually become routine to ask to use the potty and in the meantime patience is the key.
I think maybe Poppy will have an early night tonight, she was very tired when she left us, and she was awake at 5am so her Mummy told me, which probably accounts for her hyper behavior today as she tends to be that way when she is tired. She`s not the only one whose tired now! I think an early night may be on the cards for this worn out Grandma too!
