Victoria Park

General

Elliott was good all day today and got dressed when asked following up on promise yesterday. 

Activities

We went to Salisbury with Granny in the morning and looked around the shops. We also had lunch in a pub.

Then in the afternoon we went to Victoria Park on the way home for some scootering and to play in the playground.

Sonny Bill

General

Elliott was good all day today apart from taking a very long time to get dressed again. This time the chat became a time out but hopefully tomorrow he will have taken things on board.

Activities

We had quite a laid back day with a lot of playing with toys and watching television.

We did get out twice (morning and afternoon) for some scootering.

And we watched some rugby during the morning so in the afternoon we played a hybrid version of football and rugby with a soft mini football during which Elliott played the role of "Sonny Bill" (he's kind of the Messi of rugby if you haven't come across him, plays for New Zealand). This was a lot of fun, although we did knock over a basket of pot pourri - but he was brilliant about helping clear up and even did some carpet sweeping himself.

Cholderton Charlie's Farm

General

Elliott was good all day today apart from taking a very long time to get dressed. He responded to a chat in the end but it was hard work.

Activities

We spent the day with Matt and Harry Higgins. We spent some time at their house playing (and with Lara and Albert). Then we went to Cholderton Charlie's Farm which was brilliant - had a ride on a tractor, saw some pig racing plus assorted range of playgrounds, soft play and even trampolines. We had pic nic lunch there too. Afterwards we went back to the Higgins again for some calmer television watching and indoor play. Elliott and Harry played really well together, at one point even sharing food without being asked to.
