Lego Star Wars X-Wing Fighter

General 

Elliott was good for all of today. However unfortunately he was poorly and spent a lot of the afternoon in bed. He was sick 3 times - it was quite mucusy sick. He didn't have a temperature but he did have a sore tummy and throat, although later in the day it was his tummy he was focused on. He did have 2 lots of Calpol at different times which seemed to help, but then maybe make him feel sick a little later. He had quite a lot of rest and some naps as well which will hopefully help.

Activities

In the morning when we got to our home we found Santa's presents and opened them. As well a the Lego Star Wars X-Wing Fighter Santa had left some Star Wars Top Trumps (it's the Christmas of Top Trumps), a Star Wars pencil case with a Star Wars stationary set and Monsters Verses Aliens DVD. We then set about making the Lego X-Wing Fighter and playing with it. At around this time Elliott began saying he felt sick so he had a nap. Granny and Grandpa then arrived just before lunch and Elliott woke up and was back in good spirits again. We all had some lunch, although he only had some plain bread (which he asked for).       

After lunch we began opening presents again and Elliott got some more Lego and some posters for his wall from me, a Lego Hero Factory sticker book and Transformers swimming bag from Andrea, Kerplunk and a swimming float from Andrea's Mum and Dad and some electronic drum sticks from my old boss. Unfortunately just at the point when he was about to start opening Granny and Grandpa's presents he deteriorated again and literally fell asleep with his head on his new swimming float. So we went to his room and watched the iPad while I sat with him. For the rest of the afternoon he was up and down and sick a few times, but also at other times seeming much better and playing with his presents. We were all due to go to Andrea's parents for tea to see Harry and Jack Jenkins but we decided it was best for Elliott to rest so I stayed at home with him. He went through about an hour before bed time where he seemed more himself so I'm hoping he'll feel better tomorrow. He slipped off to sleep with no problem.
