Enzo's birthday party

Sleep

Elliott woke at 7am and had no naps today.

He went to bed at 7pm and fell asleep really quickly..

Food

Elliott had Shreddies for breakfast.

He had a sandwich, some hula hoops, no raw carrot and some chocolate birthday cake for lunch at Enzo's party.

He had fish fingers, potatos, no peas and a yoghurt pudding for tea.

Toilet

Elliott had 1 "dirty" nappy around 10am.

He went to the toilet 3 times overall during the day to do a wee, including before his bath. Still not asking though.

Naughtiness

He was really good today and responded to a count a few times when I wanted him to do something quicker than he did!

Health

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

Activities

After we got up today we did some reading in the morning - he now has a Fireman Sam story book that he seems to really enjoy. We also did quite a lot of playing with cars.

Then it was time for Enzo's party. Unfortunately, due to a combination of him taking a bit longer than ideal to get ready due to a nappy change needed just at the wrong time and me being rubbish with finding the place in Maidenhead, we missed the actual soft play part of the day. However we did get there in time for the eating and cake. He was really shy at first and took quite a while and gentle encouragement to sit next to Fin and opposite Matthew at the table. However, after comparing Ben 10 wellies with Fin, he did sit down and warm up. I think by the end he was really coming out of his shell and looking to get involved with different groups of kids (by now having left the table and running around a little) which was great.

On the way back we stopped at a nice park in Maidenhead to do some scootering and burn off some of the more hyper energy from some of the food. We also did a lot of running and some footballing.

By the time we got home it was practically time for tea so he watched The Gruffalo and then eat.

After tea we did some Duplo building and then it was time for normal bedtime routine. This also involved lots of dinosaur impressions as he got a build it yourself dinosaur in his party bag and he's been enjoying the dinosaur picture book he got for his birthday (currently one of his pre sleep staples. Very cute!
