Christmas shopping

General 

Elliott was good today. He did get a little bored towards the end of shopping but that was understandable.

Activities

Before football he did his homework (plotting a shape with co-ordinates and marking down the co-ordinates) and his first lot of Maths sums. He also watched some Minecraft on the iPad and played with an Enderman toy he got at the Christmas Fayre. I thought he had a really good football game today and deserved his man of the match as he did a lot of defending as well as some great dribbling and passing and his goal was excellent (reminded me of Firmino, beating 2 men on the right and cutting in to the box before scoring). I thought Panthers played really well until they all got changed around though I support the idea of swapping people around and developing them more than some of the other parents. However I do agree the scoreline was very flattering to Maidenhead, who deserved to win, but not 7-1 (or whatever it was). Anyway he enjoyed the game again and seems to be really enjoying football again at them moment and playing with more confidence. After we got home he had a quick bath and a sandwich for lunch.

After lunch we caught the bus to Reading and went Christmas shopping and bought a present for Thomas for his party tomorrow. Elliott was pretty good for most of the shopping, although he was visibly getting quite fidgety towards the end. However after we finished shopping we went to Pizza Express for tea where he had his normal (dough balls, pasta burro and chocolate brownie) and it was nice to eat out. Then we caught the bus home and after we got in he brushed his teeth, put his pyjamas on and went to bed.
