Wokingham Winter Carnival

General 

Elliott was good for most of today. Unfortunately there was a bit of a melt down after football - they were all noticeably hyper at football today so I'm not sure if that contributed. Anyway when we got back to the flat he refused to get out of the car for ages and this ended with me taking away the lightsaver for the rest of the day as a consequence, which in turn led to some shouting and crying. He did calm down fairly quickly but it was a shame.

Activities

In the morning we went to football. I'm not sure if it was the cold but they all seemed to be having problems listening and there was more messing around than normal I'd say. It was still good and Elliott definitely still enjoyed himself and did some really good things (his tackling in the game was really good today and he did one brilliant pass).        

After lunch and the unfortunate moment we went to the Wokingham Winter Carnival. We started off by seeing Father Christmas like last year. He was really shy again this year and this year he got a little soft toy snowman. He asked for a Lego Star Wars X-Wing Fighter. Then we went into the town and he went on a couple of rides including the Waltzers which he insisted on and seemed to really enjoy. We also had a look at the stalls and won a little ruck sack plus some activity books and pens. Plus we bumped into Charlie, Isla and their parents and they enjoyed messing around for a while together. After we got home he did some colouring in with his new Alien activity book that he won which was really good (we put it up in the kitchen). Then it was tea followed by bath time and really good reading of one his school books again.
