Christmas Day

General 

Elliott was very good today again. He did get a bit upset and frustrated while making his Strafe construct-bot but it was very brief and he calmed down quickly. He also had 3 doses of cough mixture during the day.  

Activities

Elliott woke at about 6.30am and came to wake me up. We went to see if Father Christmas had been and at first Elliott was a little confused and looked under the tree rather than in the kitchen. However he soon found his present and stocking in the kitchen and he opened his big present to find the Stomp N Chomp Grimlock he asked for. In his stocking there was also the Rubix Snake he asked for, Megatron and Arcee Kinder Egg transformer toys he asked for and a some more small bits and pieces. After he'd opened his presents from Father Christmas we then opened our presents to each other with Andrea and Elliott got a diabolo, a Transformers towel, Transformers pyjamas, some jeans, a book and a kit to make a tin can robot. He was very happy with his haul and started playing with Grimlock while we got up and got ready to go to Salisbury:

When we got to Salisbury we met up with Granny in the Cathedral and watched the Christmas Day Eucharist. We had a few breaks going outside to play with toys and Elliott was really good. After the service we went to Granny and Grandpa's house and then we opened more presents. In this round Elliott got a Crosshairs transformer, a Strafe construct-bots transformer, a Roald Dahl book, a Maths game, a jigsaw, some mechano, a 3 in 1 lego set, a Transformers duvet setand How To Train Your Dragon 2 on DVD. We were soon making the mechano and the lego while Grandpa finished getting lunch ready. After calling you it was time for lunch and Elliott had turkey, sausage and roast potatoes which he eat really well, although not before he'd help pull all the crackers and put his hat on.

After lunch Elliott finished making his lego before helping clear up by drying up all the cutlery which was brilliant:

After the washing up and clearing away was finished we watched How To Train Your Dragon 2 which was very enjoyable and then it was bath time. After his bath Elliott had toast with cheese for tea before bed time. After he'd gone to bed Elliott began reading his new book "Secret Agent Jack Stalwart: The Escape of the Deadly Dinosaur" out loud to me.
