Birthday shopping

Sleep

Elliott had a nap of about 1 and a half hours around 1pm as he seemed quite tired after lunch. He went to bed with no problems.

He went to bed at 7.20pm witn no problems and I think fell asleep quite quickly.

Food

Elliott had Shreddies for breakfast.

He had fish fingers, potatoes and peas for lunch with a yoghurt pudding. He didn't eat any peas and he only ate a few potatoes. 

He had rolls with marmite for his tea.

He had 2 fig rolls for a tea-time snack.

Toilet

Elliott had no "dirty" nappies during the day.

He went to the toilet 3 times overall during the day to do a wee, including before his bath.

Naughtiness

He was really well behaved today and each time it looked like he didn't want to do what he was told I only had to explain why I was saying it and he seemed to get it. For example because it was wet and muddy today I explained I didn't want him to run across the grass to the entrance to the flats as he'd get his clothes wet and dirty and he changed his mind and stuck to the pavement holding my hand. 

Health

He coughed a little during the day, sneezed as well and had a runny nose. I gave him 3 doses of tixy lix during the day.

Activities

We went out into Wokingham during the morning. Unfortunately the toddler group was closed because it's half term, but we had a nose round the town and some pink juice / coffee instead. We also went to one of the parks and did a lot of running and general high velocity play.

Before lunch he was navigating around the Fireman Sam website all on his own which was pretty impressive. It is WIndows 7 touch screen so pretty much the same as iPhone, etc, but he seemed to find it all quite intuitive!

After his rest we went to a toy shop (at his request) and picked up a few bits and pieces for his birthday. He was really good at realising he couldn't have what we bought until his birthday.

Other than this there was lots of normal stuff - some reading, some drawing, some cars and aeroplanes with storytelling, some Postman Pat special delivery service, some indoor football / catching, etc. Oh and some great hopping which was lovely to see.

No pictures today as we didn't really do anything particularly photo interesting apart from the park, but I didn't have the camera!
