Christmas family fun day

Sleep

Elliott had an average afternoon nap around 1.30pm for about an hour.

He went to bed at 8pm with no problems.

Food

He had Weetabix for breakfast and I attempted to feed him some orange segments,  but he was not keen!

He had plaice goujons, chips and a pea or two for lunch in a pub in Wokingham with Granny, Grandpa and me. He ate all his fish and chips, but only a few concealed peas. He also eat all his fish first and then his chips afterwards..

He had one slice of toast with margarine for tea.

He also had snacks of biscuit and bread sticks.

Toilet

Elliott had 3 "dirty" nappies during the day, each of which were quite runny - however he showed no other signs of feeling ill.

Unfortunately did not get much chance to do potty training as we were out and about for so much of the day.

Naughtiness

Elliott had no time-outs at all and we really well behaved all day. He did get a bit fractious after lunch, but he went to sleep quite easily and after his sleep he was well behaved again.

Activities

In the morning we went to The Look Out family fun day with Dave, Alice and Fi. Granny and Grandpa also joined us during the morning.

There was loads to do there as ever, plus Father Christmas, face painting, etc. We went to visit Father Christmas at the start but Elliott was very shy and I don't think looked at Father Christmas at all during the visit - however it was very early after arriving and as the morning continued he became more at ease and confident, so maybe if we'd saved the visit for later on he would have been more responsive. Anyway we got a book for Christmas from our visit - still to be opened.

We then spent the next few hours on the exhibits with Fi and Alice. In particular Elliott liked the hot air balloon that's controlled by pressing buttons, an exhibit where you use snooker sized balls to orbit around holes before they eventually disappear down the holes and a light show where lights in the floor light up until they are covered - he loved jumping on the lights with his feet.

We also had a quick play in the adventure play ground.

Then it was off to the pub for lunch.

In the afternoon we went shopping in Reading with Granny and Grandpa during which he was really well behaved. We also used the train to go from Wokingham to Reading and back and he was really excited to be in the train.

Finally after we got back from Reading we did some reading and playing with cars before bath and bed time.
