Birthday boy

General

Elliott was good for the whole day, especially considering the level of excitement. 

Activities

In the morning we went to Palmer Park play cafe where we met up with Dave, Alice and Fi, plus Andrea and Granny and Grandpa. There was lots of indoor play, before a cake with candles and a rendition of Happy Birthday. Then Granny and Grandpa gave Elliott their present - a Ben 10 bike with stabilisers - and then Elliott rode around the park and played on the play equipment with Alice and Fi

At lunchtime Dave, Alice and Fi went home and the rest of us went to Ask for lunch and Elliott was really well behaved. Then it was off to The Hexagon for The Gruffalo stage show which was really good - lots of extra bits to the book and some dancing and singing. He was a bit shy at first, but really got into it and was engaging with what was going on and all the prompts, etc from the stage. It was about an hour long and he did get a bit restless just before the end, but only briefly and he found lots of it really funny. After The Gruffalo Granny and Grandpa went home and we went back home for some play time with new presents - some cars / DVDs / books / toy soldiers / bucketful of dinosaurs / bubbles. He was really well behaved and had lots of fun. Tom also turned up just as Andrea left as he was in town covering the rugby, so Elliott got to play with a real life Gruffalo before bath time!
