Quiet day

Elliott woke at about 7.30am.

We deliberately stayed in during the morning today so he could reach his afternoon nap without having fallen asleep in the car and he had a really long nap for 2 hours from around 1.45pm.

He went to bed at 8pm with no problems.

Food

Elliott had oats mix for breakfast.

He had sausages, potatoes and brocoli for lunch with a yoghurt pudding, though he was reluctant to eat at first

For tea he had fish fingers and bread and butter.

He also had some biscuits during the day, including a chococolate biscuit (sorry, Christmas time treat!)

Toilet

Elliott had 1 "dirty" nappy in the morning today which was quite solid.

He sat on his potty well during nappy changes and before bath time but unfortunately back to no product. 

Naughtiness

Because he was refusing to sit down for his lunch Elliott had a time out to encourage him to site down and eat. This seemed to work, although he ended up sitting down for the time out longer than he had to, I think in some kind of battle of wills - as if to say "I'll get down when I'm ready Daddy". However he seemed to understand why he was having a time out though.

Activities

We had a quiet day today, staying in all day and not going anywhere. We played with loads of different toys, games and jigsaws, watched some Beebies and predictably Fireman Sam. Elliott was generally well behaved and relaxed.

One thing I noticed today during Elliott's bath is that he has got a lot better at actually brushing his teeth a little, rather than just chewing the tooth brush, so I continued to try and encourage this.
