Mother Goose

General 

Elliott was good for most of today, although towards the end of the day he got a little ratty and possibly over tired. He didn't do anything too bad but was being a little childish in trying to get his own way for half an hour or so.  

Activities

In the morning we played with his new Christmas toys and then, after Andrea arrived, we opened my birthday presents. Elliott had bought me a Batman mug and some Star Wars socks which I was very pleased with. Then we all went to Salisbury for lunch at Pizza Express. Elliott had dough balls, burro pasta and a chocolate brownie and he eat very well and was really well behaved at the table. 

After lunch we went to Salisbury Playhouse to see Mother Goose which everyone enjoyed. Elliott was shouting and joining in from the start and really enjoyed the performance. Especially when our side of the theatre won the singing competition at the end. After the pantomime we had a quick look at a few shops in town and then headed home for tea, which was ham and cheese on toast for Elliott. After tea he started to behave a little childishly to try and get his own way and watch what he wanted on the television / make the tin can robot when there wasn't enough time. However he did go up for his bath and then calm down and before bed time read some more of his Jack Stalwart book and was nice and calm.
