Old Wardour castle

General 

Elliott was good today apart from he took quite a long time to get dressed after being asked repeatedly.

Activities

In the morning we made the cardboard castle which slotted together and played with castles and knights. We also did lots of other playing including some time playing Ninja Turtles on the iPad. Before lunch we watched some Ben 10 Omniverse on Granny and Grandpa's Sky box.    

After lunch we decided to go and see a real castle so we went to Old Wardour castle. He seemed to find the castle very interesting (it's quite well preserved) and explored all the rooms and little alcoves. After we'd been round the castle he asked to buy a book about castles from the shop that explained what castles were like when people lived in them. We sat and read this while we looked at the castle and he did some reading too (it's a book aimed at little people). He also enjoyed running around the grounds a lot. When we got home my Mum had a friend - Marilyn - visiting and he was very chatty with her. We had spaghetti bolognese for tea and he ate loads of this very nicely.
