Flying drones

General 

Elliott was really good after school. He has also been telling me he's going to ask Father Christmas for a Ghost Rider hot toy. When I looked in to this unfortunately the cheapest one I could find was about £450 (it's a limited edition collectors toy). So I told him today that unfortunately I'd had a letter from Father Christmas saying that because it was a limited edition toy there were only so many parts for the toy available and they'd run out, so his elves wouldn't be able to make Elliott one. He seemed ok with this (he does want to see the letter so I've written one to send to myself). After watching Blue Peter I think he now wants a flying drone (these are actually affordable and you can get ones designed for children).

Activities

After school we went straight to swimming where he seemed very focused. Then we popped in to Tescos for some food shopping on the way home and Elliott bought some Match Attax cards with his pocket money. After we got home we watched Blue Peter which featured some children racing flying drones and we had some bagels for tea. Then Elliott spent about 20 minutes reading his school Ben 10 book before brushing his teeth and bed time.
