Father's Day

General 

Elliott was mainly good today. He did get obsessed with Doctor Who Alien Attax card buying for a while and then he got upset about different options and not getting the best value for money. We had a chat about realising how lucky he is to have so many things and how it's better to enjoy what he has than be upset about what he hasn't. We also talked about how lots of really good things don't cost money and how some children have very little. I also told him that if he couldn't be grown up about pocket money and saving maybe it was too early for him to have pocket money. He did understand and apologised and then didn't mention the cards again for the rest of the day. He also apologised a few more times during the day.

Activities

In the morning after I picked him up we nipped to Sainsburys where he had a snack and I had breakfast. Then we headed home and Granny came to visit. He practiced his Clarinet and played her some of his exercises and then he went scootering around the field while Granny walked around with him. Next we headed to Pizza Express in Wokingham where we met up with Andrea, Graham, Richard, Harry and Jack Jenkins for lunch. He had dough balls, pasta burro and a chocolate brownie.

After lunch we went home and he gave me a Father's Day card and some records for Father's Day which was really nice. He signed the card "even though you don't believe in Father's Day" which we both thought was funny. Next he played his Clarinet some more, watched some Doctor Who and we also watched some hockey. Then he played with his Doctor Who Tardis interior for a while before he played more Clarinet. We had sliced beef and ham rolls for tea and then he brushed his teeth. Then we did his home learning which was researching how to look after his teeth and how animals look after their teeth. He was really patient and tried hard with his home learning. Then he brushed his teeth and read some more Rogue One before it was time for bed.
