Christmas Eve

General 

Elliott was really good today and even though he was excited he didn't get over excited in a bad way.

Activities

After I'd picked him up we went back to Arborfield and left out a chocolate roll and pint of ale for Father Christmas and a carrot and bowl of milk for his reindeer. Then we headed to Downton. On the journey we listened to Cabin Pressure in the car which he enjoyed. After we got to Downton he drew some Star Wars vehicles in his notebook and we watched some Doctor Who and Muppets Christmas Carol. He also played with various toys and when he saw Father Christmas's sleigh on the Norad website he wondered if we should have left out more than one carrot for the reindeer because he could count 9 reindeer. He had chicken nuggets and chips for tea and ate some peas as well with no fuss at all. Then he had his bath and after his bath we watched Father Christmas on the Norad website again. Then he had his bedtime squash, brushed his teeth read some of a Horrid Henry book before bed time and went to sleep nicely and quickly.
