General
Elliott was good for all of today though he did wake up a bit earlier than the last few days - around 5.40am. He also began coughing a bit during the day.
Activities
In the morning we had a lazy time again and we played some games with Gruffalo and Hungry Caterpillar cards.
After lunch we went to The Living Rainforest which was really good. He was really engaged by the creatures, especially the crocodile. He also took lots of photos with my camera again.

Pirates
General
Elliott was good for all of today though he was quite tired by the end of it.
Activities
In the morning we had a lazy time, but also did some puzzles and played with cars.
After lunch we went to Reading museum in the Town Hall where they were having a pirate themed event "The Big Draw". Elliott joined in with some of the activities, especially helping colour in the big ship they'd made, but he seemed to find some of the rooms a bit crowded and was a bit shy. However he also started taking photos with my camera of the museum and it's exhibitions which he really got in to. I've posted some of the best ones on the flickr account.

Alice and Fi
General
Elliott was good for most of today but we did have a time out before we left the Higgins as he and Harry started being silly and pushing each other and then blaming each other.
Activities
In the morning we played with Harry and Bertie's toys and then went for a walk to the river in Durrington which was nice. We did some marching to "The Grand Old Duke Of York" while we were walking.
After lunch we travelled back via Dave, Jo, Alice and Fi's house. This was really good fun and we did some lego construction, played with a dolls house and played 2 games - 1 which was a snap style memory game and the other a snakes and ladders style game. We both really enjoyed this.
When we got back we had tea and then had bath and bedtime a bit earlier than normal to transition to the fact that the clocks are now an hour behind.

Harry and Bertie Higgins
General
Elliott was good for all of today.
Activities
In the morning we played at Andrea's and had a lazy time. Then we went to visit Harry and Bertie Higgins in Durrington and stopped for a packed lunch on the way.
After we arrived we did some playing and then we went to soft play which was loads of fun. Then when we got back we had spaghetti bolognese for tea and he ate quite a bit of this, though not quite all. Then it was time for bath, playing and bed and he and Harry went to sleep pretty quickly considering they were in the same room on bunk beds - they did come down once about 5 minutes after initial lights out, but then after a motivational talking to they settled.

Wiggles
General
Elliott was really well behaved after school today.
Activities
We did some music playing while watching The Wiggles, he played drums and I played guitar. We also did some puzzles. We had chicken and rice for tea and he ate it well, saying the rice (wholemeal) tasted like chocolate. He helped me to choose the chicken from the fridge and pour the rice into the saucepan.

Spot
General
Elliott was good after school today. However he was wiping his mouth with his sleeve a lot, I'm not sure whether this is something we're encouraging due to sore lips problem or discouraging at the moment so I turned a blind eye.
Activities
We had a lazy time after school and he played with his new space and astronaut toys from The Science Museum. He also wanted to read his Spot book from school.
