Bemerton fete

Sleep

Elliott woke at 6.30am.

He had a short nap this afternoon in the car on the way to Bemerton.

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

Food

Elliott had Weetabix for breakfast.

He had ham sandwiches for lunch.

For tea he had a fish fingers, potatoes and peas though he didn't eat many potatoes. He had a yoghurt for pudding and wouldn't eat any satsuma which was disappointing.

He had biscuits for morning and afternoon snacks.

Toilet

No accidents at all today - and even tried wiping a little after his poo.

Naughtiness

He was good for most of the day, but in the morning he went throgh half an hour where he wasn't doing what he was told on purpose I think (e.g. when asked to put on sandals just refusing) - so we had a time out on the stairs around 11am. This seemed to help and he said sorry afterwards and understood what he'd done.

Activities

In the morning we went to the New Forest with Granny where there were horses, baby horses, ducks, geese, cows, etc. He did a lot of running around and was quite brave whenever we were near any of the animals.

Then we all went to the playground at Fordingbridge on the way home and he was very adventurous with climbing, which was getting advanced. At one point he was swinging from bars saying he was a monkey. I did make sure I was right by him when he was doing the more adventurous climbing. We also played some catch with a mini football.

After lunch we went to the Bemerton Primary School fete as Granny is a governor there and Grandpa joined us. This was good fun, there was a bouncy castle, a playground and lots of stalls. We bought a few bits and pieces (jigsaw, builder's hat) and also entered some tombola's, raffles and a duck race. He was quite shy at first (it was busy), but he soon warmed up and didn't seem phased by the other children there at all (especially on his 3 turns on the bouncy castle!)
