Elliott was really good for all of today.
Activities
In the morning we went to football which Elliott enjoyed. Adam, Charlie and Ethan were there. Harry Jenkins also came, but he was a bit too shy to join in today, but after training had finished he joined in playing with the other boys so hopefully he'll want to join in next time.
We went to Pizza Hut for lunch with Andrea and he had a margarita pizza meal and eat everything. After lunch we went to visit Andrea's parents and Harry and Jack Jenkins were there so he spent the afternoon playing with them - and was playing with them very nicely with no strops or even moments.

Kids 'n' action
General
Elliott was good for all of today.
Activities
In the morning we had a lazy time playing with toys and watching the iPad. Granny came to visit us for lunch and we had Spaghetti Bolognese. Elliott eat most of his portion though needed a bit of encouragement at first to eat the meat.
After lunch we went to kids 'n' action with Granny and did a lot of running around. We also bumped into Milly there so she and Elliott had races around to the slide. Elliott said he was a little shy of Milly because she was a girl!

Bike club
General
Elliott was good tonight.
Activities
After school we went to bike club at Palmer Park from 4.30pm to 5.30pm. This is where lots of children learning how to ride a bike ride around the athletics track at Palmer Park with a couple of cycling experts there helping. Elliott enjoyed himself at first just riding around the track as fast as he could on his Ben 10 bike with his stabilisers on. After a while one of the helpers there took off his stabilisers and starting teaching him how to push off and pedal without stabilisers. We practiced this for a whole lap of the track and he did really well. He got a little tired towards the end and we still have a little way to go before he's really confident, but he did some stretches of up to 10 metres with me just touching his back and not holding him at all. We're going to practice again at the weekend. He eat bacon and jacket potato, but didn't go for brocoli, however he was quite tired after cycling so I didn't push it.

Alice and Zach
General
Elliott was good for most of today apart from a melt down incident before lunch because he didn't like his lunch (Roast Chicken). However he calmed down after being left on his own and ended up eating all his lunch and saying how much he liked it (and saying sorry).
Activities
In the morning we went to visit Peter Sladen at his house where he was looking after Alice Sladen. Al James (played bass in the band we were in) also came along with his son Zach. Alice and Zach were a bit younger than Elliott but he was really good with them and they were toddling so he could play with them and show them various toys.
After lunch we went to the park with Granny for scootering, sliding, climbing, etc. This was fun and he made friends with another boy about his age and played with him very nicely. On the way home we also popped in to the sports shop and bought him some astro turf boots for football.

Moors Valley Park
General
Elliott was good for all of today. However he didn't eat much of his tea, but he did have a big breakfast and lunch so I wasn't too concerned.
Activities
In the morning we went to Moors Valley Park with Granny. This had 2 adventure playgroudns which we enjoyed. We had a picnic lunch there which was nice if a little breezy.
After lunch we went on the little steam train there and Elliott particularly enjoyed going under the tunnels. Then we walked back to the adventure playgrounds for more running around before going home for tea. Between tea and bath we did some reading and he was stringing together the letters to make words really well (for a while, though he did move on quite quickly to playing with Mr Blobby!)

Making a dino egg
General
Elliott was good for all of today.
Activities
In the morning we picked up Harry Jenkins with Andrea and went to Reading. We looked around the toy shop and went to Waterstones where we did some reading. We went to Boswells for lunch.
After lunch we all went to Reading museum where they had a special dinosaur creative hour. We drew a dinosaur (a T-Rex), then we made it out of plasticine and then we made a dinosaur egg by mixing together a mixture of coffee, sand, salt and flour with water. This was good fun and Elliott enjoyed himself, even the messy play. After this we went home and Elliott and Harry played together for a while before Harry had to go home. Then we made home-made burgers with Andrea and Elliott had one of his burgers in a bun for an early tea. After this Elliott and I headed off to Downton where we are staying with Granny for a few days (Grandpa is in Hong Kong).

Watching evil decepticons take off
General
Elliott was really good today and really well behaved.
Activities
In the morning we went to Brentford to visit Andrea's Grandpa as he is 91 on Tuesday. We met up there with Jack and Harry Jenkins and Andrea's parents. Elliott and Harry played together very nicely and Elliott lent Harry some of his cars because Harry is recovering from an operation he's just had to remove a cyst. He was also really good with Jack, being gentle and making him smile and giggle. Jack and Harry's parents also arrived later and Elliott had lots of fun playing with everyone.
After our visit we went to Old McDonalds for lunch and then stopped off to watch the aeroplanes taking off from Heathrow. Elliott thought all the planes were evil decepticons and ran around the field we were watching from. After we got home we did some playing, some iPad watching and Elliott made a spaceship for his Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus transformers out of an empty Easter Egg box and his Happy Meal box.

The Amazing Bubble Man
General
Elliott did have a tantrum once today at the end of our time in Reading as he wanted to go back on the boats but there wasn't enough time. He did apologise after a while and explained why he had been silly.
Activities
In the morning we went to Wokingham for some elevenses. Then we picked up Andrea and headed into Reading where we met up with Dave, Alice and Fi for lunch at Pizza Express. Elliott was really good and eat all 3 of his courses - dough balls, margherita pizza and chocolate fudge cake. He actually eat more than Alice or Fi which was new and he was well behaved at the table sharing toys and colouring in with Alice and Fi.
After lunch we all went to South Street to see The Amazing Bubble Man show which was really good. For an hour the bubble man did different bubble tricks with a lot of audience participation and told us about the science of bubbles. Elliott really enjoyed this and laughed a lot. He called out a lot as well and really joined in. After the show we wandered around town quickly and then went home for tea, which was when he got upset when we walked past the boats near the Oracle on the way back to the car.
