Oxford

Sleep

After lunch on the way home in the car Elliott had a nap for about a half hour.

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

Food

Elliott had calamari, penne pasta with bolognese sauce, garlic bread and ice cream for lunch (in an Italian restaurant).

He had marmite sandwiches and yoghurt for tea.

He had a biscuit for a snack in the afternoon. 

Toilet

He was brilliant with toileting today, apart from he had his poo in his pants in the car just after his nap.

Naughtiness

Good overall today, but there was one time out when he wouldn't leave the park when asked, despite being warned in advance, etc. However he took the time out really well and knew why he was having it when asked.  

Activities

We were meant to be visiting the Dawsons today, but unfortunately Lucas was ill last night so the trip was cancelled at the last minute.

We went to Oxford for the day instead. This was really good. Because of the park and ride it involved a bus ride which he loved. Then in town we had a look at lots of the quads and parks, etc in the colleges which he really liked. We had lunch in an Italian restaurant which was nice and he was really well behaved - he also tried and liked calamari (cue eating my starter for me). We also looked round a few shops, including a kind of party shop where he fell in love with a rubber snake which I couldn't resist buying and he then carted around with him for the rest of the day.

On the way home we stopped in a village called Stoke Row (near Henley) where there was a very ornate well - The Maharajah's Well. He was quite interested in the well and then we found a park in the village which was really nice. He was a bit stubborn about leaving the park despite being warned in advance a few times, so we had a time out then.

After we got home we played with trains for quite a while before bath and bedtime. Did a little alphabet before bed, but not sure he was in the right mood and certainly seemed to have forgotten his letters from before!
