Little park

Sleep

No nap for Elliott today as he didn't seem tired and didn't want one when asked.

He went to bed at 7pm with no problems and fell asleep quickly.

Food

Elliott had Shreddies for breakfast.

He had fish fingers, potatoes and beans for lunch with a yoghurt pudding.

He had toast for tea.

He had a biscuit for snack today in the morning at toddler group.

Toilet

Elliott had 1 "dirty" nappy around 2pm.

He went to the toilet 2 times overall during the day to do a wee, including before his bath. He's still not asking, and I was asking, but we were also out and about for most of the day.

Naughtiness

He was really well behaved again today. He did want his Ben 10 pyjamas (unfortunately in the wash) rather than his Peppa Pig ones and looked like he was winding himself up towards a strop, but a combination of explanation, cuddling and distractive "flying" seemed to fend off any imminent tantrum.

Health

Hardly any coughing at all today and he took his antibiotics with no problems.

Activities

We went to a toddler group in Wokingham during the morning. There was arts and craftsy stuff for the first hour and bit, then a break when they all had juice and a biscuit and then playing with toys for an hour or so afterwards. He was quite shy at first and I sat with him a lot during the artsy, craftsy bit - not least because he seemed a bit bored with drawing and sticking after about 20 minutes. But he warmed up towards the juice break and started interacting with a couple of other little boys quite a lot during play time. He took along his Fireman Sam fire engine and was even quite happy to let other toddlers play with it (after a little encouragement re: sharing) - though did keep quite a watchful eye on preceedings.

The group itself was quite good, but I've got a big list from Family Information so I'm going to try a few others - maybe one that's more musical / story orientated and when he's fully recovered and the weather's a bit warmer something in the afternoon so we can go swimming again in the morning.

In the afternoon we went to "little park" where we played on swings / slide, etc for ages before then running around the park a couple of times (including some running up and down hills).

We got back late afternoon and did some playing / drumming / alphabet cards / reading and watched some Ben 10.
