Racing car

General

Elliott was good for the whole day today, except after tea he had a very strange strop. Basically he wanted a yoghurt, but there was a yoghurt in front of him. It got quite strange. I think it began because he wanted to eat his "yog-pot" in the lounge in front of the television which isn't allowed. But then he sat back at the table and was about to eat his yoghurt when he started getting really upset. It took a while for him to calm down, but it was strange as he was saying he wanted a "yog-pot" but all I could do was point out that there was, in fact, a "yog-pot" in front of him waiting for him to eat. I did quite a lot of cuddling and distracting. In the end we went upstairs for a bit and when he came back down he had his yoghurt and all was fine.  

Activities

In the morning we starting building a racing car we saw the methodology for on Mister Maker. This involves an empty Heroes box, some milk bottle tops (for wheels) and various bits and pieces. This morning we painted all the bits and he really got into the painting. We also did more Christmas Card colouring and lots of playing.

In the afternoon we went to soft play in Salisbury with Granny which was really good fun. Also we did lots more playing and some exploring in the dark with a torch (inside with lights off).
