Playing shops

General 

Elliott was good for most of today. However he has developed the habit of copying what I say when he wants to be annoying or is upset and did this a few times during the day. Luckily he responded to chatting about why it was naughty quite well.   

Activities

In the morning we had a lazy time and packed his clothes before going over to his new bedroom, unpacking and finishing moving his stuff. 

After lunch we went with Andrea to her parents house where Andrea's parents were looking after Harry and Jack Jenkins for the afternoon. He did lots of playing with Harry including playing shops, during which they both seemed to have a pretty advanced understanding of store cards and taking names and details! We also all did some playing in the snow in the back garden - making another snow man, making a snow dog and having a gentle snow ball fight with the children in the next door garden who were also out. After tea we went back to the new flat and Elliott went to sleep in his bed for the first time, which so far has gone very well.
