The Cartoon Museum Superhero Animation Workshop

General 

Elliott was very good again today. 

Activities

We got up quite early today and after breakfast Elliott had a shower. Then we caught the train from Wokingham to Waterloo and then the Underground from Waterloo to Tottenham Court Road. When we got toTottenham Court Road Underground station we walked to the Cartoon Museum (near The British Museum) where Elliott was booked in for a Superhero Animation Workshop. He was a bit nervous when we first got there and asked if I would come in with him (which I was hoping to do anyway) but he soon lost his nerves when he sat next to soon to be new friends Dexter and Finn and the tutor announced they were going to be doing stop motion animation featuring Marvel Superheroes. At this point he seemed quite keen for me to leave so I left him to it with a packed lunch of peanut butter sandwiches, a cookie and some water.

At 3.30pm I arrived back at the Cartoon Museum to pick him up and he seemed to have really enjoyed his day, though was a little disappointed because the computer his team were using for their animation had errored and they'd lost the actual animation of Ghost Rider, The Human Torch and Ant-Man that they'd made. However he wasn't as disappointed as he might have been and seemed to have really enjoyed making the animation with card figures and backgrounds and he'd even got Finn's mobile number so he could say hello another time. After we left the Cartoon Museum we headed to Forbidden Planet (the big comic shop in the same area of London) and he enjoyed looking at the toys and comics there. They had quite a large range of Hot Toys for sale which he enjoyed seeing, though said they were bigger than he thought and so he was a bit put off by them. Then we headed back to Waterloo and had some tea before catching the train home. Elliott had a posh hamburger and fries. After we arrived back in Wokingham we drove home and he brushed his teeth and got ready for bed (we skipped his bath as he'd had a shower at the beginning of the day.) Then he read some more of "George's Secret Key to the Universe" before going to sleep.
