Poppy Comes to Visit.

Poppy came and we had fun. She got to know Emmitt. He liked to sit on her lap looking out and as long as she was moving his arms up and down he was very happy! While she was here Emmitt started to give us half smiles just like Poppy. And everyone got well worn out, one night both my babies fell asleep on me in the bouncey chair.
