During a special music session today we were asked to bring a soft toy. It ended up being for a bounce on a parachute! Poppy really worked hard at flapping the parachute up and down. She also played and danced with Ayla.
baby buggy
Poppy really enjoys pushing toy buggy when she gets a chance. There are some at her church creche and today we were at Rochelle and Olivia’s house where she played with one again.
crossing fingers
Poppy has learned to cross her fingers and will work very hard to have both hands crossed at once!
father’s day 2007
We met Daddy at church this morning for the special Father’s Day service. Poppy was playing with the camera in church and I took this photo of her attempting to ‘smile Poppy!’. Then she took this photo of Daddy!
One of the Dads brought a lamb to church for the little ones to play with – Poppy give it a big cuddle and kiss.
After church and Poppy’s sleep, we took Yogi for a picnic at Rabbit Island for his Father’s Day treat. Mummy made the picnic and it included Yogi’s favourite treats. Mummy also made Poppy a cheap kite out of a Pak’n’Save grocery bag tied with string! It was windy enough to give her a chance to fly it. Then we hit a ball around with a tennis racquet and had fun in the sand. Poppy wore her wetsuit to keep her warm and dry.
appleby school fair
I am keen for Poppy to attend Appleby School when she turns five years old – reasons include their amazing technology in the classroom programme and their school band. We we keen to look around the school more so attended their School Fair on the first day of spring. Poppy’s friends Ayla and Harvey were also there with their Mums – they jumped on the Bouncy Castle, played in the rock playground and watched the school band. Yogi and GranJan came as well as they only live down the road from the school. I was very impressed with the classrooms I saw, and being a trained teacher myself, felt a good vibe from the school.
computer story
While Mummy is making dinner, Poppy will sometimes be allowed to watch a “living book” on the computer. It’s an animated story with music aimed at preschoolers. Poppy knows how to use the mouse to change the pages – something Mummy is very proud she has learned!
