Mr Bloom's Big Day Out

General 

Elliott was good for all of today.

Activities

In the morning we played a new Lego Star Wars game we'd downloaded for the iPad for free and played with lego. Then just after we'd skyped you Graham, Harry and Jack Jenkins came over fvor lunch and Elliott played with Harry and Jack.    

After lunch we met up with Harry and Jack's Mummy as well and then we all went to Mr Blooms Big Day Out in Caversham. This was really good. The whole event was free and we had free tickets from the BBC for a stage show featuring Mr Bloom called "When Julian Lost His Wiggle". The show was similar to a pantomime in terms of interaction and having songs and the real Mr Bloom was there with some of his veggies. After the show there were lots of other stalls and tents to explore including an outdoor stage with Rastamouse and Nick Cope performing and a little tent with some snakes. Elliott really enjoyed himself and even went up on the outdoor stage with some other children to dance along to Nick Cope. He didn't want to touch any of the snakes but he did seem intrigued by them and at one stage accidentally brushed his hand against one (although he was a little upset by this). After we got home we had Chicken Fajitas for tea (with his chicken being plain) and he ate very well and seemed to enjoy them.
