Clown about

Sleep

Elliott woke at 6am (boo).

He had a short afternoon nap around 1.30pm for about 40 minutes and took himself up for this nap! He then slept again for about 1 and a half hours in the car on the way back to Wokingham from 4pm.

He went to bed at 8pm with no problems.

Food

He had Rice Crispies for breakfast.

He had fish fingers, (very small portion of) oven chips and peas for lunch - however he didn't eat many peas. He had a cheese biscuit for dessert.

He insisted on shreddies for tea.

He also had snacks of biscuits and I tried him with a banana, but he didn't seem interested.

Toilet

Elliott had 2 "dirty" nappies during the day, one in the morning and one just after lunch.

He sat on his potty mostly during each nappy change - though did refuse once - and before bath time but there was no product on any occasion.

Naughtiness

Elliott had no time outs at all, though before we left and after his short nap he was beginning to get a little manic and silly! Fortunately sleeping on the car journey home meant he really calmed down. 

Activities

In the morning we went to Clown About which he really enjoyed. He even tried the fast slide for the first time with me there. I think he enjoyed this as he went back again for more, but he seemed to enjoy the ball pits and big exercise balls more. He also ran laps around the whole place a lot and really quickly.

When we were at home in the morning he also

• played with castle toys again
• made a train and racing car out of home made play dough (very imaginative!)
• watched Postman Pat (bouncy castle episode, which appears to be current favourite)
• played with trains
• "read" various books

In the afternoon he played catch with Granny for a while (still can't quite catch, but think he's getting there) and as already stated got a little hyper.

When we got back to Wokingham we watched some "lion" (Madagascar 2), had tea and had a long, fun bath.
