Hockey against girls

General 

Elliott was really good today. 

Activities

In the morning we had breakfast with Dave, Jo, Alice and Phoebe before heading off to hockey. The boys team played a game against the Under 12 Girls Development Team because their opposition hadn't arrived. He played really well at the back in the first half and then didn't play in the second half but Tony was quick to point out it was because he wanted to see some other boys play. In the end they beat the girls team 4-2. After the game they did more training and he did really well. The tournament next Sunday sounds like it might be in the afternoon which we're hoping it will be so he can play at Wokingham Winter Fayre with Whistling Woodwind and play in the tournament. Fortunately Jack from the team is also in Berkshire Maestros group (a brass band) so he's not the only one with a commitment clash. After training we headed home for ham sandwiches for lunch. 

After lunch he watched the Iron Man cartoon for a bit and then I went for a run and he rode his bike again. After I'd finished the run he swapped his bike for his scooter and practiced some scooter stunts and tricks. When it started getting dark he came in and had a bath before we had spaghetti bolognese for tea. I used tomato puree to make a plain sauce for him which he ate without any problems. After tea he finished his final two Study Ladder exercises which he got 100% right again. Then he brushed his teeth and read more of Skulduggery Pleasant before it was time to go to sleep.
