Sladen Sunday

Sleep

Elliott woke at about 7.30am, however he woke up at about 2am during the night and came to get me, so I went to sit with him in his bed while he went back to sleep.

Elliott had an medium afternoon nap around 2.30pm for about an hour and a half. However he had some trouble going to sleep before his nap.

He went to bed at 8pm with no problems.

Food

Elliott had oats mix for breakfast.

He had roast lamb, potatoes and carrotts for lunch with a yoghurt pudding. He eat all his roast potatoes, had a mouthful of carrott and eat some lamb, but didn't seem as keen on the lamb as normal. He eat all the yoghurt with no problems.

For tea he had toast and a few satsuma segments afterwards.

He also had some biscuits during the day.

Toilet

Elliott had 1 "dirty" nappy that was quite solid.

He sat on his potty well during nappy changes and before bath time, and again he squeezed a wee into his potty before bath time and was congratulated heartily. 

Naughtiness

Elliott had one time out today to help him realise it was time for his afternoon nap. He knew exactly what this was for and was very good during the time out - there was no need to restart it for any fiddling, etc. After his time out he went straight to bed, however he did actually have a longer time out than directed, staying on the chair for about a minute extra when he could have got down!

Activities

In the morning we went to visit the Sladens. Elliott had a brilliant time, especially as Charlie had lots of Fireman Sam toys for him to play with. He interacted pretty well with both Charile and Poppy during the morning and was really well behaved - he was sharing really well and letting Charlie show him how various toys worked. And when we left he did very nice fist bumps with Charlie and Poppy!

After his nap we played with some old fashioned wooden building blocks from when I was young and he was really imaginative with them - builiding a train and a car, both really good. We also did a lot of reading - lots of Thomas books. Plus we watched more Fireman Sam, he played with Buzz and some cars quite a bit and he gave Granny a few games of normal sized Connect Four!
