Harry Higgins' birthday
General
Elliott was really good all day again today, he even left Harry Higgins house without any fuss despite really having enjoyed himself.
Activities
In the morning we played with Granny and did some colouring.
In the afternoon we went to see Harry Higgins on our way home because it was his birthday. Noah and Martha were also there as well as Bertie, Matt, Lara, Russ, Hayley and Jo. He had lots of fun playing and then some tea and cake and watched Tree Fu Tom with the others - at one point they all copied Tree Fu Tom's actions in front of the television together which was very cute. I think Harry is having a proper party next weekend so they were saying they would ask if you can make it.

Monkey World
General
Elliott was sick last night at around 11pm and there was quite a lot of sick, but after being cleaned up he went to sleep again very quickly and this morning said he felt better. He's been fine all day and eaten well, though only safe foods and no dairy. He was good for most of the day but before going out for tea he had a time out as he got upset saying he wanted to go to the park rather than to tea and then started being stroppy. He apologised at the end of the time out though and was fine through tea.
Activities
In the morning we went to Monkey World with the Sladens. This was really good fun. There were 3 adventure playgrounds where Elliott, Charlie and Poppy all played together. We also all had a picnic lunch and stayed there for quite a long time. He also enjoyed watching the monkeys, particularly the bigger ones who were playing and really funny. He was really well behaved and enjoyed himself.
When we got home we went up the road to the Woodfalls Inn with Granny for tea. He had fish fingers and ate well. He was a bit stroppy before we went (see above) and was a bit restless waiting for the food but overall was well behaved and we had a nice time.

Noisy Kids
General
Elliott was good all day and didn't get up until 7am this morning.
Activities
In the morning we went to an event at the Hexagon called "Noisy Kids" during which the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra played various super hero and television theme tunes. Andrea came with us and we took his ear protectors in case it was too loud. Generally he seemed to enjoy it and joined in with some moves and dancing that the narrator was teaching, but I think by the end it had gone on for a bit long for him. However he did say he enjoyed the instruments and Superman. Then we had lunch in John Lewis before joining Dave Read in the Nags Head for the end of the football, which was really good and family friendly and we were there just in time to see Liverpool win.
After that Andrea and Dave went home and we went to Basingstoke where we met up in Giraffe with Tim and Emily for a few hours. This was good fun and he was really well behaved, playing with toys with Emily, Tim and me. After that we drove back to Downton and by the time we got there it was time for tea and bedtime routine.

Shopping
General
Elliott was good for all of today, though did seem a bit tired at times and "needed" some ups when we walked back from town!
Activities
We went shopping today and he was really well behaved. We borrowed a significantly reduced Optimus Prime toy that he fell in love with. We also stumbled across a bouncy castle slide for holidaying kids and he was a bit shy at first but soon really got into it.
