Despicable Me 2

General 

Elliott was good for most of today. There was a strop after we got home in the afternoon and so he went for a rest in his room. When he emerged again he was in a much better mood and said sorry very nicely for not listening to what he was told.

Activities

He woke up quite early in new time unfortunately, though not surprisingly. We had a good morning playing Scaletrix,watching Match of the Day and Elliott designed a Christmas card for the school Christmas card offer. Then Harry Jenkins and his parents came to visit. After they arrived we had a big game of dinosaur top trumps. Then we all went to the Odeon in Bracknell for kid's club, which was Despicable Me 2, which everyone enjoyed a lot.     

After the cinema we went for a buffet lunch at a curry house with everyone which went really well and Elliott had some chicken tikka, rice, naan bread and tried various other things - I found if I left things to try on the side of his place but didn't make a big deal about it he would give them a go subtly when no-one was watching. After lunch we went to Andrea's parents with everyone for a bit and this is where Elliott started being a bit silly (with Harry to be fair and they were egging each other on). After we got home and he'd had some time to himself we played with some Transformers and then did some reading with one of his school books this time. He did really well and we kept concentrating on recognising words rather than spelling them out each time. He went to bed nicely though seems quite tired.
