Nursery funday

Sleep

Elliott woke at 7.30am.

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

Food

Elliott had Special K for breakfast.

He had fish fingers, chips and beans in a pub for lunch with Granny.

For tea he had toast and a yoghurt. I tried some grapes as well but he refused vehemently.

He had a chocolate rice crispie cake for a morning snack at nursery funday.

Toilet

He had no accidents today.

Naughtiness

He was really good for most of the day, but towards the end of the day, after warning him a few times, I gave him a time out because he was calling me various silly names rather than Daddy. In some ways quite funny but I thought name calling isn't to be encouraged. 

Activities

We went to the Nursery funday in the morning with Granny. This was great, although he was quite shy at first as I think he found it confusing seeing the staff in their own clothes rather than nursery uniform. There were various stalls, a bouncy castle (which he really enjoyed) and even a fire engine - although this had to go for a real emergency before we'd had a chance to see it properly. He also spent some time while we were there playing with Matthew, the other Elliott and Finn though they came and went at different times. It was really good fun though and I think he really enjoyed himself.

Then we went for lunch in a pub with Granny and he was really well behaved.

After lunch we went to a park for a while and we tried him with a new balance bike we've bought (as emailed at one stage). He got on brilliantly with the bike, but I think it might already be a bit late for it as he was totally comfortable lifting his legs up and cruising along for short distances on 2 wheels right from the start. However he did seem to really enjoy it, as well as some frisbee and normal playground apparatus.

After the park Granny went home and we did some colouring, reading and some alphabet cards. It was around this time when he became a bit silly - using silly names, saying no a lot, stamping about. However after the time out he really calmed down again and we did some playing with trains before bath time.
