Well done Poppy! xxx

 When a child born before 32 weeks gestation reaches the age of 2 and a half they are called for an assessment to see how they are progressing.

Poppy had her assessment last week, Em took her and had been told it could take up to 2 hours to complete. Little did she think they would be at the centre for the whole 2 hours! Poppy did so well that she actually finished the assessment, infact the doctor had to ask Poppy to play with a toy for a short time so she could read through the end of the booklet as no child had ever got so far before! Well done Pops, you did great! x

We bought her some play dough a couple of days ago and Grandad and I were playing with her. The set included rolling pin, cutters, moulds, things to push the dough through and achieve different shapes, tools to cut the dough with and 4 different coloured doughs. Grandad was told in no uncertain terms that no, he could not use her rolling pin, and that he had to be very quiet! Thats you told then Grandad!

We got 4 new library books, Poppy was delighted that one of them is Room on the broom, she loves the programme of the book which was on tv over christmas. Twice I had to read each book, and she loves it when I do a different voice for each character! My throat feels a little tired this morning! The trouble is I tend to forget which character has which voice!

Poppy had me helping build a house with her bricks, the little people who live in the dolls house then visited the new house which we had built. She was chattering away, being the little people, when I realised they were actually visiting the three bears cottage! Poppy loves her role play!
