Dentist

General 

Elliott had a few moments today. The first was while we were looking at Toys R Us and Hobbycraft for model kit after the Dentist visit and he got upset that he couldn't have a Transformer, even though he agreed to no Transformer before we went in. The second came after lunch when he got upset that we weren't going to do a second toy review. And finally he got upset after he was kicked during football training. He did recover quite quickly from all 3 incidents and we talked each time about how being as upset as he got wasn't really necessary (apart from after the kick as that was different).

Activities

First thing in the morning we went to see the Dentist. This went very well apart from Elliott saying he was a bit scared when we got to the Dentist, but he seemed to move on very quickly and he was completely at ease when he got in to the chair. The Dentist said his teeth were very good and his brushing must be good. He also said he had some back teeth coming through and that it was time for grown up toothpaste. Elliott seems a bit apprehensive about grown up toothpaste but having tasted his current mint toothpaste I actually think grown up toothpaste is milder. After the Dentist we went to Toys R Us and Hobbycraft to get a simple model kit to make together and, after a little bit of upset, he ended up choosing an Airfix Quick Build Jet Euro Fighter kit (from Toys R Us). After we got home we made the kit together as it snapped together, and he did almost all of it himself. Then we had breaded fish and chips for lunch. 

After lunch we watched some "Ninja Turtles - The Next Mutation" and then Elliott wanted to make a toy review of his new Jet model so we spent some time doing this, and he used his imagination to pretend it was a Transformer  and even did a comparison with another Transformer (which was actually some Lego):

After this he got a bit upset because he wanted to make another toy review video but there wasn't time. After he'd calmed down we had honey sandwiches for tea and set off for football training. At football training the Panthers practiced corners for almost the whole session and Elliott mainly played in defence doing some really good marking and tackling. He did find it hard to concentrate at times, but all the boys were messing around at different times and it was quite cold for them all. He also got upset when he got a kick (accidental) and has a nasty looking bruise. After we got home he had a quick bath and then he read Chapter 3 of "Horrid Henry meets the Queen" before bed time.
