Grandpa visits

Sleep

Elliott had a short nap around lunchtime, but only for about half an hour - however he did seem quite tired by the end of the day.

He went to bed at 7.30pm and went straight to sleep. I managed to get him down to only having one car with him in bed, but he was tired and when I asked / encouraged him to park the car before going to sleep he became quite agitated so I let him park the car on his bedside table. I had a quick look at 8pm and the car was still on the bedside table and he was fast asleep, so hopefully it's a step in the right direction.

Food

Elliott had a burger, chips and some peas for lunch in a pub with Grandpa and me.  

For tea he had a marmite roll and a yoghurt pudding.

He had a biscuit for an afternoon snack.

Toilet

No accidents at all today - however there was no poo today. 

Naughtiness

He was really good all day, apart from some agitated behaviour at bath time. Basically he was playing with cars before bath and didn't want to park them and get ready for his bath, so I gave him a count after some negotiating. He got upset by this, but it was quite showy rather than genuine and I ignored it for a few minutes and he was soon getting undressed and being good as though he'd never been upset.

Activities

We went swimming in the morning at Reading central pool again. This was really good again with floats and focusing a lot on kicking on his back and front. Lots of giggling and fun.

After swimming Grandpa came to visit and we went to a pub for lunch.

Then we went on to town to buy a starter bike without pedals as mentioned before, which was good fun, and also meant lots of looking at other toys.

When we got back we played with cars and trains and watched some of Cars (and he talked loads about the cinema and how big Lighting McQueen had been!) However he seemed quite tired (as mentioned) so I didn't want to do anything other than relaxing and low effort activity!
