Body boarding on grass

Sleep

Elliott woke at 6am and had no nap today.

He went to bed at 7pm and went to sleep quite quickly.

Food

Elliott had Rice Crispies for breakfast.

He had roast chicken, roast potatoes, new potatoes and a little brocolli for lunch, with a yoghurt pudding.

He had toasted hot cross bun for tea.

Again he had some rich tea biscuits as elevenses and also some of a magnum at the Sladen's house (very messy and seemed far more interested in the chocolate than the ice cream, though did have some ice cream).

Toilet

He was really good again today, although we did have 1 wee accident in the morning and a poo situation just after lunch (which I was expecting and good to get out of the way before visiting the Sladens).

I put him in a pull up for the first part of our visit to the Sladens, but after speaking to them, and because he still asked to go to the toilet and then did a wee on their toilet even in his pull up, I changed him to pants and he didn't have an accident

Naughtiness

He was good again today, just a bit of tiredness towards the end of the day I think, but I gave him choices like "bath or time out" and he responded well to this.

Activities

We spent the morning out with Granny. We went to Tesocos quickly to pick up and few things and had some coffee (he had a fruit shute) and he was really good - even when he realised he wasn't going to get a Ben 10 toy. We also did some play time with farm animals before lunch and then watched some Peppa Pig.

After lunch we went to the Sladens for the afternoon which was really good fun. We started off playing outside (with cun cream applied, meant to say was yesterday at Pepperbox Hill as well). This included Charlie and Poppy joining Elliott in football / pulling around each other across the grass on a body board / playing on a mini slide / playing frisbee (he didn't quite get the hang of it) / stroking guinea pigs in their run / playing with some water pistols. Then we went inside and he played with lots of Fireman Sam and Ben 10 toys with Charlie, really interacting well. Then we watched some Total Wipeout (he really enjoyed this, as it appears to Poppy and Charlie). Finally Poppy told him all about wildlife before it was time to go. He was really well behaved and good with the toilet once we'd switched to pants. He interacted really well with both Charlie and Poppy, and at times seemed to speak clearer than maybe even Charlie (though Charlie is pretty shy I think).

Anyway he was also really polite at all times and before we left he gave everyone a big hug which was very sweet.
