Beale Park

Sleep

Elliott woke at 6.00am and had no naps today.

He went to bed at 7pm and fell asleep after about half an hour.

Food

Elliott had Rice Crispies for breakfast.

He had a hamburger, chips and beans for lunch in Beale Park restaurant.

He had a roll for tea with a yoghurt pudding.

Around 3pm he had a ginger biscuit for a snack.

Toilet

Elliott had 1 "dirty" nappy around 9am.

He went to the toilet 2 times overall during the day to do a wee, including before his bath. However we were out for most of the day and he's still not asking so even though I was asking him he seemed quite content with his nappy today.

Naughtiness

He had one time out today during our visit to Beale Park. This was because he kept not holding my hand near the river despite being asked to repeatedly. So I used one of the benches and gave him a time out. He took the time out really well and was saying sorry and explaining to me why he was being put in time out. When it had finished he was great about holding my hand when asked! 

Health

I didn't notice any coughing at all during the day.

Activities

We went to visit Beale Park today for most of the day and had lunch there in their restaurant.

It was a really nice day weather wise, much milder than recently and with quite a bit of sunshine.

There was loads to do there and in no particular order we enjoyed:

1. Watching the meerkats / other little monkeys / owls / birds / sheep (with tiny lambs) / pigs / wallabies / etc.

2. Going on the little train ride around the park.

3. Playing in various play ground zones and the little tikes area.

4. Feeding the ducks and other water birds.

5. Chasing each other and a rooster!

Interestingly when we were playing in the different play areas he was being really sociable for him and taking slides in turn, etc through communication.

Other than Beale Park there was some watching of Ben 10, some reading before we left (Fireman Sam book), some imaginative play with Fireman Sam toys (rescuing people), some footballing and some singing in the car!!!
