I do like to be beside the seaside

Sleep

Elliott woke at 6am and had a brief nap in the car on the way home from Bournemouth at lunchtime.

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

Food

Elliott had Rice Crispies for breakfast.

He had spaghetti bolognese for lunch with a yoghurt pudding.

He had toast for tea.

He had some custdard cream biscuits by the seaside as elevenses.

Toilet

He was really good again today, although a poo situation just after lunch.

Naughtiness

He was really good today so while we were out in the afternoon and came across a Swampfire beanie I bought it for him to say thanks for being such a good boy for Granny.

Activities

We went to the seaside with Granny in the morning (Bournemouth). This was really good fun and he really got into making sand castles (though predictably would not allow either of us to help him in any way - but interestingly through trial and error he soon identified that wet sand was better than dry sand and a fuller bucket was better than a half full bucket!) He was as fascinated as ever by the sea, but really good in not running off into it. There was also a little adventure playground by the beach so it was nice to break up time on the sand with the playground as well.

In the afternoon he and I went out to Fordingbridge for some park time (lots of running around) and a wander around the shops (where we met Swampfire).

We also did some reading and Gruffalo carding before tea.
