The Muppets

General

Elliott was well behaved today apart from getting a bit bored by shopping towards end of trip in the morning, but not surprising. However he has been putting his fingers over his ears every so often today and yesterday. I asked him if his ears hurt and he said he was just wiggling them. Will keep watching out for it.

Activities

In the morning we went shopping in Southampton - mainly for clothes for Elliott. We also had apple juice and biscuits in Marks and Spencers. He was really good about not borrowing any toys.

In the afternoon we to the cinema in Salisbury to watch The Muppets. He seemed a bit wary of the cinema at first but fortunately there was a Toy Story short before the Muppet film which really helped. He really enjoyed the film, apart from when they were singing as that was louder than the dialogue and a bit too loud. Anyway he did a lot of giggling and then at the end there was a sad bit, just before a triumphant happy ending, and he was a bit teary and cuddly and said "it's weally sad isn't it Daddy". Very cute. Walter was his favourite Muppet - he's a new Muppet only in that film.
