Emily's party

General

Elliott was good today for most of today. However he was quite hyper after Emily's party - there was a lot of sweets and chocolate, etc, though he did eat his sandwiches. Because of this we had a time out in the evening during tea as he wanted to take his toys to the table and was silly when I said no. He calmed down quickly though and was aware of why he was having a time out. 

Activities

We went to football at Goals in Woodley in the morning. This was really good. There were 2 boys coaching 7 boys including Elliott and one of the boy's Dads who is big in the football club I think. The coaching boys were really good and both studying GCSE sports so coaching the little ones in part of that. They did about 45 minutes of skills and practice and then at the end there was a little game, before we stayed behind with Adam and his Dad for a little bit more of a kickaround. I watched from the side with the other parents who were friendly. Elliott really enjoyed himself although he did get a little upset that his team lost in the game, and that he wasn't passed the ball more, but I think that'll sort itself out with time. He was definitely upset when it was time to go. .

After lunch we went to Emily's party in Hungerford and Max, Euan and Alex were all there from NCT. There was a magician called Magic MIke who did about an hour of comedy and magic which they all seemed to realloy enjoy - Elliott was giggling a lot. Then it was time for food before some party games, including musical statues which he really enjoyed. He haqd a really good time again I think, just too much junk food, but this is parties for you!
