Jog

General 

Elliott was good today after school. During football training he was the instigator of quite a lot of silliness so afterwards I talked to him about trying to get the best out of training and how he'd got good at hockey because he'd focused on training rather than messing around. He got upset at first and sulky but by the time we got home he was saying he was going to try to be calmer during training.

Activities

After school we went home and he read some of his Doctor Who dictionary. Then he had some toast for tea and we went for a jog around the fields together after he'd got changed for football training. Football training was wet tonight and he was quite distracted, shouting a lot and pretending to hit Harry and Olly rather than concentrating on the game they were playing. Also he was the one starting the messing around tonight so I had a calm word with him afterwards about concentrating more to get the most out of it. After we got home he had a quick bath, brushed his teeth, read some of his Doctor Who monsters book and then went to sleep.
