Elliott was good all day though unfortunately having helped me cook pancakes a lunchtime (sieving, stirring, etc) he then decided he didn't like them without trying. I normally play that situation by ear, so sometimes he'll be persuadable to have a mouthful, but others like today his mind seems very strongly made up and I don't want to push it and make mealtimes into a battle ground - have some personal experience with that! Anyway I'll try pancakes again sometime soon but maybe re-brand them as something else initially. 

Activities

We spent the morning in the house playing and doing some more creative things, plus some alphabetting. 

In the afternoon we went to Coral Reef for a swim which was really good fun. He also played a bit of Sonic on the iPad (did download it) and was pretty good at it (better than me).
