Easter

Sleep

Elliott woke at 6am this morning.

After lunch he had a nap for about an hour and a half in his bed.

He went to bed at 7.30pm and went to sleep quickly.

Food

Elliott had Weetabix for breakfast.

He had roast lamb, new potatoes, roast potatoes and carrotts for lunch with a yoghurt pudding. Unfortunately he add no carrotts despite some extensive encouragement!

He had a toasted hot cross bun for tea.

He also had some Buttons Easter Egg for snacks, though the buttons are yet to be eaten. 

Toilet

He had 3 wee accidents during the day - all 3 in the morning.

He also had 2 poo accidents in the morning, though on both occasions the poo was quite small and solid so easier to clean up than sometimes.

After his nap he was brilliant with going to the toilet himself!

Naughtiness

Very good today, only had to be asked twice occasionally and when he was responded well when reminded that we'd been talking about how he should be doing what Daddy asks him.  

Activities

In the morning we stayed at home and did a lot of playing with castles / toolkit / alphabet abacus (seems to have craked a, b and s) / trains and cars. We also did some drawing and some puzzles. And we went outside in the garden and played catch with balls and a balloon, pus some football.

After his nap we went to the park in Fordingbridge and he ran around a lot. Normal sliding / see sawing / climbing, but also he was beginning to climb some more adventurous looking aparatus (while I stood next to him) and he was sliding down a pole on his own after being helped onto it.

Finally after we got home we watched some Spoungebob Squarepants (like to mix it up a bit when I have access to Sky) and generally relaxed before doing some more letter recognition just before bed. Again a, b and s came out strongly, though really not sure how long he'll retain that for and s does sound possibly a bit more like a hiss than phoenetic, but very impressive to me all the same.
