Tea at Asda

General 

Elliott said he'd been learning about China at school today and he came home with a paper plate coloured in with Chinese designs and a piece of art work showing each of the different Chinese animals that represent the years. We also showed Mrs Mahmood his lego R2-D2  which went down well. He had "tomato pizza" for lunch.   

Activities

I decided not to go to swimming lessons today because of Elliott's cough so instead we went to Asda for tea as a treat. He was a bit upset about not going swimming at first, but I explained it was so he could get better and we had a good time looking at toys in Asda and having one of their kid's meals - he had a ham sandwich, cocktail sausages, some cake and a fruit shute. After we got home we finished off homework, although he was a bit distracted and although we finished his words we only managed to do one more shopping at the cafe sum. After bed time he did some really good reading with a longer book than normal and went to sleep well after cough medicine. Ironically he hardly coughed at all after school today.
